A former American delegate to the UN Human Rights Commission blasts Palestinian rocket squads for using civilians for cover, and criticizes the UN for not taking action. Published in the Boston Herald:
One might imagine that the United Nations would either criticize the Palestinians’ deliberate targeting of the Israeli civilian population, or, at least criticize the Palestinians’ victimization of their own civilians by using them as human shields since both practices constitute egregious violations of international law.
Alas, one would have to be truly unfamiliar with the United Nations in order to expect that to occur. Keeping faith with an inviolate and astonishingly ill-hidden anti-Israel bias, the U.N. General Assembly and its new Human Rights Council have chosen not to criticize either the Palestinian targeting of Israeli civilians or the Palestinians’ use of their own civilians as human shields. Instead, they have criticized only the Israelis.
