GENEVA (Reuters) – Israeli and Palestinian leaders should launch investigations of alleged war crimes in Gaza to help rebuild trust and support peace, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said on Thursday.

At the opening of a U.N. Human Rights Council meeting on the issue, Navi Pillay said that all sides of the Middle East conflict were continuing to violate international law and voiced concern that transgressors are being left unpunished.

"A culture of impunity continues to prevail in the occupied territories and in Israel," she told the 47-member body, calling for "impartial, independent, prompt and effective investigations into reported violations of human rights and humanitarian law."

The UN will support muslims every time. Israel needs to stand on its own without the UN. The UN is of no benefit to anyone except radical Islam.

If terrorists put down their weapons there would be peace.

If Israel put down their weapons they’d be slaughtered.

Exactly. Which is precisely why the U.S. needs to pull out of the U.N. immediately and not send any more billions we now owe in dues.

This will not happene on 0bama’s watch. Name one U.S. politician that could win, that would have the nads to tell the U.N. to go pound sound.

She would wouldn’t she? But...if we told the U.N. to go pound sand we would not be LOVED by the world in full geo political correctness. Sarah would not get a peace prize and honored for trashing our country...

Political correctness is the devil and 0bama is his man.

When you stop and think about it, the American people have wanted out of the UN for years. I don’t understand why our government wants to stick with them. Every Administration has supported them......why? Where’s the benefit to the U.S.?

The history of the UN.

Up until 1990, the UN Security Council passed 175 resolutions, 95 of which were directed against israel. 55%

The General Assembly voted on 690 resolutions, 492 were directed against Israel. 62%

Biased and unafraid.

I think it’s called New World Order. Regardless of what the people of this country want. Our country needs to pull back, find some people to put in office that actually have this countries best interests at heart. But........I think there is more to the control of our country than most understand.

“Keep your friends close....but keep you enemies even CLOSER.”

Good in theory but it makes strange bed fellows and opens the door to corruption. We’d be better off just being upfront with them and if we don’t like what they do, tell them to kiss off. Unless my father was wrong in saying that honesty is the best policy. I have this strong belief that my father was correct. The time is coming where it’s going to be everyone for themselves.

Agreed so the best we can do is move to a state that breaks away from the U.N. garbage. Texas?

Did we pay these dues yet?

We had to or 0bama could not have shown his face at the G20 and signed us up for the NWO.
