Canada unhappy with UN's choice of Gaza war crimes lead investigator
2014-08-13
Once again, Canada is punching well above its weight.
[TORONTOSUN] Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird took to Twitter to lambaste the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
for its choice of judge to lead an investigation into potential war crimes in the Israel-Gazoo conflict.

Baird accused genocide and human rights
...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you...
expert William Schabas of being biased against Israel and said the UN's inquiry will be a "sham."

"UN Human Rights Council continues to be a sham for advancing human rights," Baird tweeted Monday night. "It's an utter shame and will do nothing to promote peace and dignity in Gazoo for the Paleostinian people."

Schabas has not been shy in his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in particular.

He once wrote in a law journal that Netanyahu is "the single individual most likely to threaten the survival of Israel" and that he'd like to see the Israeli leader "in the dock of the International Criminal Court."
... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...

Baird tweeted that the appointment of Schabas as a lead member of the UN investigation team "reveals its agenda."
