INFO HELP, PLEASE? So, I saw a claim made about the UN [View all]

[BlancheSplanchnik]

that made NO sense.

A person I know posted on Facebook that the UN Commission on Women (I may have exact name wrong) voted Israel the top threat to women's rights.

She gave no link, only "you can easily find it, it's everywhere."

So I googled and saw the sources saying this were all far reichwing. Limpbag, Brietbarf, and others even more unhinged.

I didn't see ANY hits from more moderate sources though.

Does anyone know anything about this?

I don't know if I'll venture in to rebut her....I knew her many years ago, and not very well. She's got a cadre of like minded responses, and her profile pic---seriously, Michelle Bachmann eyes.


But I'm curious.....what's up with some vote accusing Israel of being worse for women than, ohhhh, Saudi Arabia?

And why do rw's hate the UN so much? I've never understood that.

Thanks in advance, DU friends!
