The U.S. is joining the world’s worst human rights abusers.
The Biden Administration is bringing America back into the anti-Semitic and corrupt U.N. Human Rights Council. “No other country not Iran, not Syria, not North Korea has an agenda item devoted solely to it. Agenda Item 7 is not directed at anything Israel does. It is directed at the very existence of Israel. It is a blazing red siren signaling the Human Rights Council’s political corruption and moral bankruptcy.” Appalling.
Very big mistake. The U.N so-called “Human Rights Council” deserves to be much maligned because it’s nothing more than a political farce that incessantly focuses on Israel instead of actual human rights abusers. Terrible move by Biden Administration. Falling into the same traps. https://t.co/2Gez0t8m4Y

Israel Ignored as Biden Embraces ‘Flawed’ U.N. Human Rights Council
By Breitbart, February 8, 2021
The U.S., which severed all connections to the UNHRC, will seek full membership during election time at the U.N. General Assembly.
Trump’s then U.N. envoy, Nikki Haley called the UNHRC the “bully pulpit for human rights violators.”
Israel has received the largest number of resolutions against it than any other country by a wide margin. China, Cuba, Eritrea, Russia and Venezuela are among the countries that Haley said “make a mockery of the Human Rights Council.”
During its attempts to reform the council the U.S. tried unsuccessfully get rid of Agenda Item 7, which mandates alleged Israeli human rights abuses are discussed at each season, and is the only measure of its kind. Haley observed:
No other country – not Iran, not Syria, not North Korea – has an agenda item devoted solely to it. Agenda Item 7 is not directed at anything Israel does. It is directed at the very existence of Israel. It is a blazing red siren signaling the Human Rights Council’s political corruption and moral bankruptcy.
Prior to leaving the council, the U.S. had engaged in a yearlong diplomatic campaign with more than 125 member states to discuss reforms, Haley said. “In the end, the United States couldn’t convince enough countries to stand up and declare the Human Rights Council was no longer worthy of its name,” she said.
The “most obvious reason is that authoritarian regimes are happy with the status quo.”
Blinken on Monday said: “It is our view that the best way to improve the Council is to engage with it and its members in a principled fashion.”
“We strongly believe that when the U.S. engages constructively with the Council, in concert with our allies and friends positive change is within reach,” Blinken said.
“We recognize that the Human Rights Council is a flawed body, in need of reform to its agenda, membership, and focus, including its disproportionate focus on Israel,” Blinken said.
“However, our withdrawal in June 2018 did nothing to encourage meaningful change, but instead created a vacuum of US leadership, which countries with authoritarian agendas have used to their advantage,” he added.
Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman condemned the move.
“We’ll here’s a terrible policy: rejoining the UNHRC,” Friedman said.
“Who is leading the U.N.’s commission on human rights? China, which places its undesirables in concentration camps, Russia that jails its dissidents, and Cuba! Who is the permanent target? Israel. Donald Trump and [former U.S. ambassador to the U.N.] Nikki Haley got it exactly right by withdrawing!”

Blinken said the UNHRC can be effective when it “shines a spotlight on countries with the worst human rights records and can serve as an important forum for those fighting injustice and tyranny.”
“To address the Council’s deficiencies and ensure it lives up to its mandate, the United States must be at the table using the full weight of our diplomatic leadership,” Blinken said.

Biden is nothing more than a hand puppet… His handlers are the real anti-Semite Jew hating sons of B! tches. Biden is just keeping the Obama era Kabuki Theater of supporting Israel while undermining them in favor of muslim terrorist state of Iran. How about sending Iran another 150 billion?

Canada consistently votes against Israel in the U.N. and then back home the hypocritical Trudeau government claims and pretends that it is pro-Israel. What a mess North America is becoming, two utterly crap governments in the U.S. and Canada with Canada now in bed with massive human rights abuser, China.

Thanks, Ziggy, we live in wild times with the Biden and Trudeau governments gravitating to everything evil and debased. Decency and honour plays no role in their pathetically shallow and stupid minds.

Why the surprise? Did anybody really expect Biden and his bevy of anti-Semites to do anything else other than throw Israel under the bus.

Yes, Biden is a sleazy disgusting person who wants to cooperate with muslim murderers and does not want to be Israel´s ally. He should be impeached and ARRESTED together with the other anti-Israeli Kameltoe Harris

No doubt about it.. .. In America, socialization began only under Obama(I meant the transformation of America into a socialist country). Alas, Israel is also inclined towards socialization in the sense that there are enough useful idiots in Israel who either really think that if they make concessions to the world community it will support them in difficult times, although all their life experience suggests the opposite , or they just trade the interests of their compatriots for personal benefits
After Israel makes concessions,the world community begins to stigmatize Israel as an aggressor , it does not stop useful idiots There are a terrible judicial system and an imperfect electoral system in Israel.The Israeli judicial system works against the Israelis. If Obama’s left-wing friends come to power in Israel, and it may happen, it will not end well.

Biden would cut his own leg off to save weight. Then Jen Psaki would say ” We’ll have to circle back”.

The U.N. favors Islam.
No surprise.
Can you imagine these people with nuclear weapon?
Muslims are cunning, devious and full of bluster but NOT INTELLIGENT people. Too much inbreeding?

What else can you expect from an administration that stole an election. These actions aren’t the will of the people and until the people rise to the occasion, more evil will befall us.

Saudi Arabia was on the Human Rights Council because they only had around 150 beheadings that year, and then they were on the World Women,s Rights Council because they decided that if your Father or Husband gives you permission to go outside, then, and only then, will he think about allowing you take Driving lessons… So tolerant… Meanwhile Arab muslim females in ISRAEL are even Taxi Drivers…The UN is a bloody joke…

Come on folks; no one should be shocked with Biden’s turning his back on Israel. The man and his party are absolute anti-Semites/Israel. They, after all, are the NWO’s neo-Nazis, Jew-Israel-hatred is a keystone in their mandate of hatred. The fetid, bilious UN is sucking in a deep rancid breath of relief that Biden won via corruption the election. They are one of the same fronts for Islamic terror and anti-Israel/Jew policies.

Blinken said: “It is our view that the best way to improve the Council is to engage with it and its members in a principled fashion.” Improving the Council hasn’t worked for years. And Blinken thinks it will improve under his leadership? The guy who presided over an entity that was funded in large measure by the Chinese and which seems to have been dedicated primarily to pushing Chinese propaganda inside the United States. https://andmagazine.Com/talk/2020/12/17/blinken… ????????????
