The Modern Face of Antisemitism
| The UN lynch mob that seeks to demonize and destroy the Jewish state launched a new offensive at the UN Human Rights Council. A two-day emergency session with a title that testifies as to its one-sided, pre-ordained result - "The Grave Violations of Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory including the recent aggression in the occupied Gaza Strip" - ended on Monday, January 12th. The session adopted a resolution that does not once mention Hamas. Of the 47 members of the Council, only Canada voted against the resolution. The members of the European Union merely abstained. The resolution: This emergency special session was the fifth the Council has had on Israel. By comparison, the Council has held nine regular sessions on human rights in all of the other 191 UN states. In its two and a half-year history, the Council has condemned Israel more often than all other states in the United Nations combined. What follows is just part of what the UN lynch mob had to say. In sum, according to the UN, the Jewish state has no real right of self-defense. This is the face of modern antisemitism. Watch by video:
