Ted Cruz: 'Useful idiots' at United Nations help Hamas

[Washington Examiner] A group of "useful idiots" at the United Nations accused Israel of committing war crimes rather than hold terrorist groups responsible for using human shields in recent protests, a prominent Republican senator argued Monday.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz delivered that rebuke hours after a commission appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council reported that Israeli forces "killed and gravely injured" dozens of civilians over a nine-month period last year. The clashes arose form protests against the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, as President Trump’s decision inspired a "Great March of Return" by thousands of Palestinians who sought to breach a border fence between Israel and Gaza. The most intense confrontations took place on the day of the Jerusalem embassy opening, which resulted in a U.N. rebuke.

"The Commission found reasonable grounds to believe that during these weekly demonstrations, the Israeli Security Forces (ISF) killed and gravely injured civilians who were neither participating directly in hostilities nor posing an imminent threat to life," the U.N. investigators said. "[T]he use of lethal force in response was rarely necessary or proportionate."

#1 I suppose one big consideration for the commission is to attack the civilized party because the uncivilized party obviously doesn't give a $hit.

#2 There are 5-star hotels and restaurants to stay at in "civilized countries" where you can wax polemic about their (quote) dastardly behavior (un-quote). In Bad Guy Land™ they tend to haul you out in the bushes and shoot you (pre-execution torture on video optional).
