What follows is testimony delivered on Wednesday by UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer, at the UN Human Rights Council Emergency Session on Gaza, in Geneva. The Palestinian ambassador to the UNHRC, together with Iran, Syria, Egypt, Cuba and Venezuela had tried but failed to silence Mr. Neuer. As expected, the council voted 29 to 1 (USA), with 17 abstaining (EU & others), to condemn Israel for “gross violations of international human rights,” and it created a new commission of inquiry.

An entire nation—towns, villages and cities, from the Negev Desert up to the Galilee, from the Judean hills of Jerusalem to the Tel Aviv seashore—has been under brutal and relentless attack, from more than two thousand mortars, rockets and long-range missiles, fired from Gaza toward civilians in every part of the Holy Land.
Never before, in the history of Israel’s seven decades of existence, has its men, women and children come under such a massive aerial assault, forcing them, at the sound of air raid sirens day and night, to run for shelter.
And never before, in the modern history of nations, has a free and democratic society come under such sustained bombardment from a terrorist organization, one that openly strives for and celebrates the murder of civilians, and that, as its general worldview, glorifies death.

These acts of aggression also target the sovereign rights of the nations under whose flags these airplanes fly.

Hillel Neuer: Palestinian ambassador called Hamas missiles a ‘crime against humanity.’ Why won’t the UN?
Why won’t the UN?
Because the U.N. is helping Hamas conceal and deploy the missiles against Israeli civilians.
Because the UN itself is reaching the status of a criminal organization against humanity. May be the vehicle for the coming world ruler, dunno.
Maybe because they are characterizing it as plain old war.
Still, it is amazing that even in the America of Barack Obama, we are seeing a US dissent to votes like this.
