Obama's temper tantrum continues: US won't defend Israel at 'human rights council' - UPDATED

President Hussein Obama's temper tantrum continues.

The United States will not take the floor at the main U.N. human rights forum on Monday during the annual debate on violations committed in the Palestinian territories, a U.S. spokesman told Reuters.

The step, which is unprecedented at the 47-member state forum where Washington unfailingly defends Israel, follows signals that the Obama administration is undertaking a "reassessment" of relations with the Jewish state.

"The U.S. delegation will not be speaking about Palestine today," a U.S. spokesman in Geneva told Reuters in response to a query as the debate began. He declined further comment.

Waiting to hear that the US is defending Iran's, Syria's and 'Palestine's  'human rights' records.
