| Having Schabas lead UN Gaza probe akin to ISIS hosting religious tolerance event |
| 2014-08-13 |
| Israel's ambassador to the United Nations predicted on Wednesday that Jerusalem will not cooperate with the so-called "Schabas committee" that has been appointed to investigate alleged war crimes committed during Operation Protective Edge. International Canadian law expert William Schabas -- known for his criticism of Israel -- will head the United Nations Human Rights Council's probe into Israel's actions in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza in the last two months. The Foreign Ministry said that Schabas's appointment to head the panel proved that Israel cannot expect justice from this body. "The report has already been written and the only question is who signs it," the Foreign Ministry said. |

| #3 Too bad the US doesn't have the leadership or balls to do the same as Israel and call out the bullshit UN complicity with terrorists, racists and would-be genocidal maniacs. |

| #2 Israel should tell the UN to go bugger themselves. They'll probably answer "thank you, we will". |

| #1 The Foreign Ministry said that Schabas’s appointment to head the panel proved that Israel cannot expect justice from this body. Does anyone seriously think that a fair probe will come from the UN? For one thing, the focus already has a premise that war crimes were committed and that maybe they were committed by Israel--no mention of kidnappings and murder of Israeli teens, rocketing of Israeli citizens for starters. Go investigate ISIL where real atrocities are being committed. Too risky? Israel should tell the UN to go bugger themselves. |
