Ban Ki-Moon's priorities: Who gives a damn about dead Syrians?

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon UN's 'human rights council' on Monday that there are 23,000 dead in Syria's uprising, but they're being killed by fellow Muslims so who gives a damn! What really matters to Ban is that those 600 millionaires in Gaza are being deprived of more opportunities to get rich and that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are being deprived of material for weapons.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Israel to lift the blockade of Gaza Monday during a speech to the UN Human rights Council in Geneva where he devoted 169-words of a 1,528-word address to Gaza and the Palestinian issue, and 153 words to the bloodbath in Syria.

Various estimates put the number of dead in the Syrian civil war at between 25,000 – 33,000, half of them civilians.

But that's not all. No, that's not all.

Ban also made no mention of Iran, its human rights abuses or genocidal threats. The secretary-general defied US and Israeli requests last month to stay away from the Non-Aligned Movement conference in Tehran that the regime there used to prop its legitimacy both domestically and around the world.

"This is part of the UN's institutional bias against Israel, and is par for the course," one Israeli government official said. "I would like to say I am surprised, but I am not."

Wait a minute.... Wasn't Ban supposed to be more pro-Western less hostile to the West than his predecessor? Silly me. Israel isn't part of the West at the UN either. In fact, Israel isn't part of anything at the UN. It's a nation that stands alone.

But priorities man, priorities. Who gives a damn about dead Syrians or Iranians when there are Joooz who can be accused of oppressing millionaires?
