The 'human rights council' backs down

In the face of Israel's absolute refusal to show up for its universal periodic review, the United Nations 'human rights council' decided to save face by 'postponing' the review to 'no later than November 2013.'
The council called on Israel to cooperate with the council on the UPR. It asked its President Remigiusz Henczel to encouraged Israel’s participation in the human rights review.
Henczel said that postponement served “as a precedent to be applied in all similar circumstances of non-cooperation in the future.”
He warned, however, that if Israel failed to participate by the set deadline, the council would weight steps against it.
So what's going to change in the next ten months? Will the UN suddenly become a fair place that's not biased against Israel? Are they suddenly going to give up their anti-Semitism? Is Israel going to be allowed to join a regional grouping so that it can exercise the prerogatives of UN membership like every other country in the world? Is the 'human rights council' going to stop being a rubber stamp for an anti-Israel agenda? Is the permanent agenda item against Israel going to be removed?

Of course, the answer to every one of those questions is "no." The council was royally embarrassed on Tuesday and deservedly so. What they are hoping is that the new Israeli government will reverse course. Don't hold your breath. It won't happen. It was David Ben Gurion, a man of the Left, who first referred to the UN as Oom Shmoom, long before there was a 'human rights council.'

If you want to be amused by OIC reactions to the postponement, read the whole thing.

Here's what it was like on Tuesday at the 'human rights council.'

Let's go to the videotape.



The council chairman looks like a little kid whose toy was just taken away, doesn't he?

Heh.

  1. Netanyahu snatched defeat from the jaws of victory today by advancing the PA $400 mullion in tax revenues, ostensibly to save it from collapse.

    The question is why save your enemy from drowning? At a time when Israel is facing a 14 billion NIS budget deficit, Israeli citizens are being asked to show austerity but not the Jew-hating Arabs of the PA.

    And the Likud wonders why did it so poorly in the election last week. What could go wrong indeed

  2. Jewish Pride, HaDaR Israel, rather than bowing down, hitrapsuth, in front of the nations for fear of provoking them, in spite of what taught by people a little too enamored of ghettos, has ALWAYS BEEN the way to succeed, because it sanctifies the Name of God and calls for God's help.
    HE, HIMSELF CHANGED OUR NAME FROM YAAKOV TO ISRAEL!
    TIME TO OBEY THE ONLY ONE WE OWE OUR EXISTENCE TO AND BEHAVE LIKE AN ISRAEL, NOT LIKE A YAAKOV!

  3. Israel needs to tell the UN it will never attend these show trials, ever. Not in 2013 or in a hundred years or when the sun burns out. Never.

  4. So... What's new? THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN HIS WAY! What were the first TWO relevant things he did in 1996 after being elected for the first time?
    1) He allowed 16 Israeli soldiers to be butchered in Shchem so as "not to endanger the piss process", after having promised all throughout the election campaign that he would not speak to araBfaRt;
    2) He gave away 80% of Hebron to AraBfaRt's PLO terrorists.
    A short while later he was back on his knees sucking up at the Wye Plantations!
    THAT'S LIKUD.
    THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKUD, since 1977!
