Pillay alarmed at mounting civilian toll in Gaza, appeals to all sides to abide by international law
US Ambassador to the UN, Keith Harper, has stated that he intends to confront the anti-Israel bias in the UN Human Rights Council. Ambassador Harper said, “It’s not going to be easy, this bias is deep, its continual, its structural. No country should have to deal with the kind of bias that has occurred with the council from year to year.”
This is precisely why the international community will never confront Israel.
Toby Cadman @tobycadman Why is the international community afraid to confront Israel on Palestine. The hypocrisy is astounding.
