#1 That list of nations without exception has some pretty low 'human rights' scores. So FOAD United Nations Human Rights Council.

islamic and human rights are mutually exclusive to begin with.

#3 This is far worse than divisive, politicized, or useless. Arbour's comments - and she was being critical of the idiotic resolution - embodies the abandonment of all actual humanitarian law. The suffering of non-combatants as a result of deliberate actions by one side (HB) does not impose any special burdens on Israel. The usual obligation to avoid non-combatant deaths and injuries and to make military-benefit calculations in cases where such cannot be avoided apply - but so far nothing indicates that Israeli actions do not pass muster in this regard (mistakes are a separate matter). It is an evisceration of the humanitarian considerations of the laws of war to give HB a pass for its deliberate mixing of combatants and non-combatants to gain military advantage.

#5 They never investigate the people who take vids of themselves cutting people's heads off, do they?

But then again, would the head chopppers listen anyway? Kinda like looking for your car keys under the streetlamp cause the light is better, even though you lost them 300 meters away.

Just like in relationships, these loosers only have the power over you that you give them. Tell them you don't care at all what they say and deny them access; eventually they will wither away and die.

Oh, red cross meet with the kidnaped and imprisoned israeli soldiers? No? That's odd.
