Do you, fellow commentators, ever get the idea that, at times, we are being set up, that articles like this one and the ones by Singer are periodically published to get us going, to incite us to go over and over the same issues which are never resolved?

I mean, Danny has made no attempt to present all the facts and, like Singer, he would deny the facts even if we gave them to him on a silver platter.

Perhaps the best way to deal with silly articles like this is to ignore them!

In reply to PaulL, The author is probably correct in pointing out the the UN Human Rights Council does tend to focus a great deal on the crimes of Israel. There are indeed many countries who commit violations of human rights. However, the fact that the UNHCR does not harass Saudi Arabia, does not mean that Israel does not commit crimes.
Us Westerners tend to be very concerned about the actions of Israel, because it describes itself as a western democracy. There was a ceremony in our parliament here in Australia honouring Israel on its 60th anniversary. We do not honour Saudi Arabia in our parliament. When we align ourselves so closely with a country, the evil actions of that country reflect on us.
If the Israelis wish to use the worst regimes in the world as a yard stick for their actions, then they cannot count themselves amongst the civilised nations of the world.

Certainly both sides have been breaking the Law as regards the above comments.

However, while the Arabs are only breaking the simple laws as part of Payback, the Israelies have broken a law that is against nuclear weaponry, so deadly, in fact, that Israel in the end might find itself crushed by nuclear weapons from lawful global decisionmakers.

Certainly the only thing saving Israel, could be Zionist-backed pressure from the US.

The USA has totally buckled to the Zionist will.The main reason is that they have enormous influence over the US Federal Reserve a group of 12 banks who own the US currency and loan all their counterfeit inflationary money to the US Govt.

The Fed could trash the US economy at any time like they have done in the past by restricting the money supply.They have Obama under their thumb.

David G,

I don't agree with you that Zionist propaganda should be ignored, that implies agreement. I've just finished an exhaustive (and exhausting) discussion with Zionist supporters on another, pro Zionist, blog, otherwise I'd add my criticism of this article.

Our problem is to influence our morally bankrupt political elites before the Palestinians 'disappear'.

Rhys,

You are right when you say “the fact that the UNHCR does not harass Saudi Arabia, does not mean that Israel does not commit crimes”

But the fact that the UNHRC says Israel commits crimes does not mean that Israel does.

The Author is doing a lot more than merely comparing Israeli actions with the worst regimes in the world. He’s not simply saying, there are other countries with poorer records. He’s saying, and he’s right, that the UNHRC is dominated by groups who have special antipathy to Israel. That UNHRC judgements are not fair and unbiased. That they are political in nature and should not be considered prima facie as evidence of wrongdoing.
