The commission of inquiry will be headed by Canada’s William Schabas, an international law professor at Middlesex University in London who served on the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission from 2002 to 2004, the UN council said in an e-mailed statement to the news website.

Yeah . . . UNRWA gets busted helping Hamas and it’s Israel they want to investigate. Any normal US president would have had the Marines storm the UN Building by now.

Maybe they should move UN Headquarters to Mecca. They'd feel more at home there.

Lets see. You nuke Mecca and then bury the site in ten feet of pig carcases and pig poop.

I wonder. Do you have to pour salt on it too, to get it from growing back?

United Nations has long been a servant of criminal enterprises. Representatives are unelected, and not responsible to the people they are supposed to represent. Primarily funded by US dollars to do things Americans find reprehensible, including forced or coerced abortions and unjust military actions.

How about a Christian United Nations, where member nations sign their commitment to the basic human rights of all peoples as a qualification for membership, and where the speakers are elected, not nominated?

We know what the verdict is, so do we really have to hold the trial?
