A few days ago we have been all blessed by the decision of UNHRC to open an inquiry on our war crimes in Gaza.
The UN Human Rights Council voted Wednesday to launch an inquiry into potential violations of human rights by Israel in its conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip — a move Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly labeled a “travesty.”Travesty or not, here is my own mini-inquiry into Ms Pillay. To start with, a quote that helps to understand how her fiefdom, UNHRC, treats Israel in general:
“There seems to be a strong possibility that international humanitarian law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes,” Pillay told the U.N. Human Rights Council. “Every one of these incidents must be properly and independently investigated.”
The UN Commission for Human Rights, whose members represented some of the most repressive regimes in the world, dedicated such disproportionate efforts to criticizing Israel at the expense of other causes that it was dismantled and replaced, with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan stating that "the politicization of its sessions and the selectivity of its work [...] cast a shadow on the reputation of the United Nations system as a whole”. Its replacement, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), turned out to be even more biased than its predecessor, and has dedicated overwhelming attention to Israel, while ignoring and blocking criticism of human rights abuses of equal or greater severity – often committed by the council’s own members. Massacres committed by Palestinians against their own population, and war crimes routinely perpetrated by Palestinians against Israelis, are similarly ignored.Ms Pillay, of course, strives to be a leader in her domain, recently repeating this bit of absurdity:
The UNHRC has been strongly criticized for its overwhelming bias against Israel, both by Annan and by current UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, as well as by independent NGO’s such as Freedom House, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. HRW, however, has come under the exact same criticism from its own founder (among others), while AI is also demonstrably guilty of the same double standard.
Women in the Occupied Palestinian Territory face multiple layers of violence and discrimination. The analysis made by the Special Rapporteur on violence against women in 2005 remains valid. She found that the combination of decades of Israeli occupation, the use of force against Palestinians by Israel, the different forms of resistance used by Palestinians against such use of force and the patriarchy prevailing in Palestinian society expose women to a continuum of violence in all spheres of life.However, this is not the peak yet, just a step on the way to the total madness, displayed by the lady recently. She is on the way out, apparently, and was seeking something that will ensure that her name remains forever in the annals of history. And I swear that it took quite some time for me to believe it is not a spoof:
UN condemns Israel for not sharing Iron Dome with Hamas
Iron Dome, partly financed by the United States, has been instrumental in blunting the Hamas terror missile bombardment on Israeli civilians. Pillay complained that no such protection has been provided for Hamas in Gaza.I am not up (and will never be) to commenting on this. The only thing I could do was checking the veracity of that quote, and here it is again, from Breitbart:
The UN chairwoman criticized the U.S. for helping fund Israel's Iron Dome system which has saved countless Israeli and Palestinian lives. "No such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling," she said.And here it is again, from Haaretz:
"They have not only provided the heavy weaponry which is now being used by Israel in Gaza but they've also provided almost $1 billion in providing the 'Iron Domes' to protect the Israels from rocket attacks," she said. "But no such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling."Nothing to add or to subtract from this. As I mentioned, Navi Pillay is leaving her post soon. I believe - nay, I am confident that the dictators' club called UN will find a replacement worthy to feel her shoes.
No matter the smell.

What a stoopid bay-itch. Good riddance.
Interestingly, most of these people you mention are staunch supporter of Israel. It is some South African virus that got into he system.
What does this mean? "There seems to be a strong possibility that
international humanitarian law has been violated, in a manner that could
amount to war crimes,”
Has Israel violated International Law? Likely not as there is only a strong possibility that they have, right? Wrong. What there is a strong possibility of - strong or otherwise it is only a possibility - not that Israel has violated International Law but that while whatever it was is not a violation of International Law it could "amount" to it.
So whatever Israel is doing it is not a violation of International Law but the manner in which they did it amounts to a possibility that it might have - maybe.
Hi Guy,
While I had some difficulty of following the logic, I cant' say that I disagree with it.
Cheers.
This manifestation of bigotry by a UN bureaucrat is natural, only one more proof that Jew-haters have the intelligence of a mentally retarded amoeba.
Now Peter, you done gone and insulted the amoebas. Why? Has an amoeba done something bad to you?
True. Sorry if I got a little carried away there. Although I know another one who does not support Yisrael. He's not as crazy as she is, but he's a devout subscriber to the NYT.
It does take courage. Here in Progressive Austin, as well. But I am happy to say there is one Yisrael flag flying from a home on our street. Altho we are in a bit of a Haredi enclave. Since, as he says, Obamalamadingdong isn't too stupid to understand what's going on, he is clearly a moral degenerate.
Well, the virus is not contained solely in SA, it seems ;-)
Good for Austin that it is still able to tolerate Israeli falg, even in a one given street. As for Obama - the last two days have seen some improvement in the bilateral relations, although some considerable strain still remains.
My apologies in the name of the Israeli people and declare that ANY amoeba - even the mentally challenged ones - are morally and intellectually superior to Ms. Pillay. and any other member of the UNHRC.
Now you are tawking!
Incontrovertible proof of extraterrestrial life, devoid of intellect and morals, but highly dangerous, especially to graduates and attendees of Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, and other institutions fo delusion.
By Jove, she does look like a space alien. An escapee from Area 51, perhaps.
His approval rating is way down, below 40 percent last I saw. I liked Bibi"s "never second-guess me again" quote, though he denied it later.
Heh!
Oh Berkeley... to be young again and in Berkeley... I am even ready to agree to buy one or, if pressed, two of these Che T-shirts...
Yep, hard to deny.
I am afraid we'll never know what precisely had been said.
Yes, India has become quite a good friend of Israel over the last 20 years as India realized that both democracies have common enemies in Muslim extremism. Several months, the Chief of Staff of the Indian Army made an official visit to Israel.
Indeed.
