Arab and Muslim states question Israel’s right to defend itself at UNHRC
Jerusalem Post ^ | 09/22/2014 22:47 | Tovah Lazaroff

Two major groups of Arab sates questioned Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas in Gaza, in addresses to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday in Geneva.

Describing Israel’s actions in Gaza as self-defense is both “legally incorrect” and “morally abhorrent,” said Pakistan, speaking on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. […]

Switzerland, Ireland, and Iceland were among the few Western countries to address to address the UNHRC under Agenda Item 7. Ireland condemned both Israel and Hamas as unacceptable for attacking innocent civilians during the Gaza war.

With respect to Israeli attacks in Gaza, Ireland said, “Whatever efforts may have been made to avoid civilian casualties, the facts show plainly that these efforts did not work, and that the attacks were continued despite the clear evidence of massive casualties.”

Luckily, Israel has thermonuclear, nuclear and the variation called “neutron bombs” in its arsenal. Some are on submarines.

At a UN event, the Pakis voiced disaproval of Israel exercising its Natural Law right to self defense. Then the Irish took a break from bombing each other and slagged Israel for hurting the chilrun.

Israel: “Go ahead, make my day — try to take my nukes away.”

Thank God Israel's got them on submarines - old Arabs with their four wives don't want 72 virgins. They want to continue living on the graft of the land...

None of the islamoNazi propaganda lies amount to sqwat. One more attack on Israel and the islamonazis could finally provoke Israel to use a few “goodies”! At long last. And then satan—Allah will quickly run out of “reward virgins”. By the hundreds of millions.

Imagine how the “world community” would react to that. Israel’s liberals listen to them all the time, which is the major problem.

Thanks Olog-hai.

Gandhi said that the Jewish underground resistance during WWII should have gone willingly to the Holocaust in order to score a moral victory over the Third Reich. Yeah, that would work. So, what are the FR nicks of Pakistan, the OIC, Switzerland, Ireland, and Iceland?

Gandhi was dealing with Brits... people who have massive ability to feel 'guilt'.

Jews were dealing with the German bureaucracy... an organization that was incapable of any human feeling beyond 'shallow orderliness'... Think Lois Lerner with unlimited power. That's the type that rounds up people and murders them.

Gandhi was wrong.

Yup. But nations don’t have guilt, they have interests.
