| US State Department accuses UN of singling Israel out in its COI |
| 2022-06-08 |
| [JPost] The United Nations released a Commission of Inquiry that blamed Israel for the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians. The US State Department responded on Tuesday to an initial report by the United Nations' highly contentious Commission of Inquiry, which charged that Israel is largely to blame for its conflict with the Palestinians, saying that "the COI in its current form is a continuation of a longstanding pattern of unfairly singling out Israel" "As we have stated repeatedly, we firmly oppose the open-ended and vaguely defined nature of the UN Human Rights Council’s (HRC) Commission of Inquiry (COI) on the situation in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, which represents a one-sided, biased approach that does nothing to advance the prospects for peace," said Ned Price, the State Department Spokesperson. "The report of the Commission, released today, does nothing to alleviate our concerns," he added. "While the United States believes the HRC plays a crucial role in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms globally, this COI and report do not advance this goal." Price went on to say that Israel is the only country subject to a standing agenda item at the HRC, "and has received disproportionate focus at the HRC compared to human rights situations elsewhere in the world." |

| #11 Go figure, when you ethnically cleanse people off their land, that means you're the aggressor. The whole point of the UN is to call out countries like this. |

| #4 Oh my. You are a naif, aren’t you! And you visited Israel in person to see all that? You sound like the tourists who spent ten glorious days in New York City or Miami Beach and now know all there is to know about America. In America, lawyers on average earn less than taxi drivers. Why should it be different in Israel? The natives screw tourists everywhere. It’s part of the experience. I enjoyed the exact same myself in Munich, in Budapest (oh God, in Budapest! They tried to charge me more for porcelain than I would have paid in Germany, just because I’m American), in the tourist traps of Mexico, and (oh God cubed!) in New York City. I’d have to ask Mr. Wife about Bulgaria, but he was there to work, not as a tourist, so his experience would have been very different. I didn’t realize the Jews in France went in for making jewelry. Belgian Jews from Antwerp for diamonds, Yemenite silversmiths and and those fancy knives their Arab neighbours went in for back home, sure, but I was under the impression that in France they were mostly in intellectual professions. It is a universal experience that Former Iron Curtain and Third World immigrants are treated like crap in their new, First World homes. It takes a generation or two to climb that ladder to success, and now the younger generation of Ethiopian Jews are doing so — very popular musicians, representing Israel in the Miss Universe contest, full academic scholarships from the best universities. and so forth. Was your experience different when you moved to California from Bulgaria? What about the other immigrants who arrived when you did? Israel’s Arabs have been in recent years complaining that Israeli police have not been protecting them from criminals. The problem is that the criminals are their neighbours, who shoot, beat up, rob, rape, and murder each other at much higher rates than do the Jews in the next neighbourhood over. The kinds of terroristic attacks on Israeli Jews that we report here are really much less frequent than the criminal attacks on each other, in line with the same behaviours in nearby countries. On the other hand, there are plenty of Israeli Arab police, army generals, judges, television reporters, beauty contest winners, and everything else available in an integrated society. After starting and losing four major wars against Israel, the Muslim Middle East world tried paying the local Palestinians to carry out a proxy war instead.— Intifada I, Intifada II, Hamas’s missile thing, the rash of knife and car attacks — and in all cases Israel responded with overwhelming force. Sorry, you’ll find no sympathy here for suicidal idiots being sent more quickly to their god than they intended. |

| #3 I don’t have nothing to believe from anyone! I saw with my own eyes. Israel the multicultural “democracy” A country where the French Jew jewelers in the marina screw the American Jewish tourists A country where mashgiachs are more wealthy than lawyers (bribes) A country where the poor Israeli Ethiopian Jews get shoot and treated as a third class A country where the majority of Israeli Arabs are criminalized on a daily basis A country that thanks to the sympathetic mostly Jews owned American media can shoot and kill protesters or bomb and invade neighbor countries. A country living on a lie and on American assistance. |

| #2 You keep believing the Palestinians, my dear. They think the same as you, reality be damned. |

| #1 Feel so sad for the poor Israeli people, sound like there’s not a bright future in the horizon for them. Internally big demographic problems, internationally, just disgusted irreverence by almost every nation and culture on earth. And now with the USA in decline…. I feel that my old friends in Herzliya all are going to have hard times in the next few years.. |
