UN Rights Chair Defends UN Watch from Egyptian Interruption
On June 16, 2008, the UN Human Rights Council debated "Human rights situation in Palestine & other occupied Arab territories." When UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer started to refute the arguments by Egypt and Algeria which claimed that asymmetry justified a one-sided mandate that grants impunity to Palestinian terror, the Egyptian representative attempted to interupt him twice. In response, UNHRC President Doru Costea, defended UN Watch's right to speak.
Maybe it's my imagination, but I think the Egyptian representative looks a bit dumbfounded.

If only all this talk actually accomplished something...
It does, but nothing good.
