2. The Commission's debates disproportionately focus on condemning Israel.
3. The Commission's resolutions against Israel equal the combined total of country-specific resolutions adopted against all other countries in the world.
4. The Commission's independent experts subject Israel to irrational scrutiny and criticism.
5. The Commission bars Israel from participation in the regional group system, and thereby from membership in the Commission itself.
6. The Commission's emergency special sessions and special sittings are disproportionately dedicated to condemning Israel.
7. The Commission's NGO panel events single out Israel for special condemnation The Struggle against Anti-Israel Bias at the UN Commission on Human Rights - Hillel C. Neuer | Has it ever occurred to you the possibility that the reason why various international human rights commissions are concerned about Israel isn't because they're anti-semitic or any rubbish of the sort, but because Israel commonly violates human rights??
And anyway, that is hardly evidence (let alone objective) that Israel has been singled out more than any other country. Quote: |
Now, mabey you could share your views on the 6 day war. Give us a little back ground as to what happened and why.
| I don't have time to give a history lecture. In Israel-Arab tensions the Egyptians mobilized some of their military forces onto the Israeli border. Israel launched a "pre-emptive" attack, prompting the open hostilities between them. It ended with Israel occupying various Arab lands to which this day they not only continue to occupy but illegally settle and colonize, and engage in other international law and human rights violations.
