30. Which does nothing to explain why the UN ignores much worse human rights violators to concentrate on Israel
Fri Feb 16, 2024, 12:16 PM
Feb 2024

Iran:
was rocked by an unprecedented popular uprising against the Islamic Republic system. Security forces unlawfully fired live ammunition and metal pellets to crush protests, killing hundreds of men, women and children and injuring thousands. Thousands of people were arbitrarily detained and/or unfairly prosecuted solely for peacefully exercising their human rights. Women, LGBTI people, and ethnic and religious minorities suffered intensified discrimination and violence. Enforced disappearances, torture and other ill-treatment, including through the deliberate denial of medical care, were widespread and systematic. Cruel and inhuman punishments, including flogging, amputation and blinding, were imposed and/or carried out. The use of the death penalty increased and public executions resumed. Trials remained systematically unfair

China:
Disregard for Human Rights
Repression in Xinjiang.
Fear of Arbitrary Arrest.
Religious Freedom Abuses.
Stifling Freedom of Expression.
Forced Labor.
Assault on Hong Kong's Autonomy.
Severe Restrictions in Tibet.

Cuba:
Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings, by the government; torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of political dissidents, detainees, and prisoners by security forces; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions

But lets concentrate on Israel!
A lone democracy with LGBT parades in the Middle East.
