New Canadian PM Trudeau Votes No on 16 Anti-Israel U.N. Resolutions

<snip>

[quote]Of the 16 No votes on anti-Israel texts so far this year, one took place on November 2nd, still under the Harper government. The rest were decided by the new Trudeau government.

Despite the opposition of Canada, the U.S., and Australia, the UN General Assembly yesterday adopted six non-binding resolutions singling out and criticizing Israel, without any of mention of the spate of Palestinian knife attacks, shooting, car-rammings, and incitement,nor were any resolutions adopted on Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, or any other human rights situation.

Surreal barely captures the scene: the world is under assault by terrorists killing in the name of Islam and martyrdom — as Palestinians did this week while stabbing Israeli Jews — and the UN’s response is to reflexively condemn Israel in six separate resolutions, all of which are one-sided.

One resolution condemned the Jewish state for retaining the Golan Heights, demanding Israel hand the land and its people to Syria.

It’s astonishing. At a time when the Syrian regime is massacring its own people, how can the U.N. call for more people to be subject to Assad’s rule? The timing is morally galling and logically absurd. [/quote]

This is what Jew hatred does to nations, as it has throughout history. Leads them into making stupid, destructive decisions.

And it's happening once more - Deja Vu all over again.

Paris bombing, russian airplane bombing Mali, stabbing intifada, ...

The u.n. hates Jews, but it loves Islamist murderers, tyrants and dictators.

Glad the Nations are United about something.

When it is so obviously a body of lies and animus toward one nation, it fails to be the Bono of organizations it pretends to be. Everyone sees this, knows it is a bad joke, and hence it cannot affect anything else from a place of moral authority. It is corruption.

It's "International Law" in their view.
