Canadian William Schabas resigned from leading the UNHRC “war crimes” probe of Israel on Monday, after new revelations regarding consulting work he did for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorist organization in 2012 joined previous allegations his blatant bias against Israel.
Speaking with Yedioth Aharonot on Tuesday, after a former Goldstone Report judge was named in his stead, Schabas had harsh words of condemnation for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. “Even if there was another committee, Netanyahu would come out against it. People like Netanyahu will accuse any committee of being anti-Israeli,” said Schabas—who back in 2013 said he wanted to prosecute Israel for Gaza "war crimes," even if it meant “twisting things and maneuvering” in the international legal arena.

Right. "People like Netanyahu"
By which he means: "People who speak the truth"
Any UN committee will be anti-Israel. It's the only thing that unites the United Nations.
The UN has become a DPA - Dictator Protection Agency... on our dime. It’s time to close the boondoggle down.

The UN is full of PLO supporters.
Yasser Arafat used the UN as a recruiting and propaganda arm of the PLO.
I know it is with me.
Lots of pity party “eternal victims” countries... let’s send the UN to one of them. Haitians need jobs - send the UN to Haiti... Then all the so called ‘do gooders’ who really just want to live high on the American hog - can be closer to ‘the downtrodden’... the folks they’re supposedly helping. I’m sick of them - like most Americans.
No doubt the rest of the UNHRC committee are lamenting the loss.
One down far too many to go.
If our next president can take out the IRS; he can with the same vigor withdraw from the UN and send them packing elsewhere.
CRUZ 2016!
Schabas is an Anti-Semite. He needs to be reeducated.
It works for racism so why not this?
