OTTAWA–Canada stood alone before a United Nations human rights council yesterday, the only one among 47 nations to oppose a motion condemning the Israeli military offensive in Gaza.
The vote before the Geneva-based body shows the Stephen Harper government has abandoned a more even-handed approach to the Middle East in favour of unalloyed support of Israel, according to some long-time observers.
Thirty-three countries voted for the strongly worded motion, which called for an investigation into "grave" human rights violations by Israeli forces, while 13 nations, mostly European, abstained.
The United States, regarded as Israel's greatest ally, is not a member of the council.
Well, of course. After all, the UN didn't condemn Hamas's shooting thousands of rockets at Israel, and I can't recall any time the UN ever condemned the barbarism of "Palestine" towards Israel and towards its own.
Interestingly, the UN, proving what a bizarre organization it has become, is condemning Canada, of all nations, for "human rights abuses". Can you believe the nerve? After all, the UN is effectively controlled by nations that have no human rights whatsoever and which commit atrocities with impunity. Truly, we live in the Bizarro World!
Clearly, the United Nations is something basically controlled by a bunch of despotic tyrants practicing projection against the Free World.
