Video: Hillel Neuer Blasts Biased UNHRC Report on Gaza Flotilla

Here is an interview with Hillel Neuer of UN Watch with RT, a Russian 24/7 English-language news channel.

From the YouTube page:

Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, told RT that the results of the recent UN report on the flotilla incident were pre-determined.


"This report was determined in advance, the Human Rights Council held an emergency session only a day or two after the flotilla incident happened," Neuer said. "They declared Israel guilty of 'an outrageous attack', so the outcome was entirely pre-determined, and this is not something that's exceptional."

"In fact, Mary Robinson, who was the UN rights chief, said the Human Rights Council has a pattern of acting politically and not for human rights," Hillel Neuer added. "Let's remember who the membership is -- Saudi Arabia, China, Colonel Gaddafi of Libya is now a member of the Human Rights Council. This is not a body that cares about human rights. This is a body that is political, that is engaged in a constant campaign to de-legitimize Israel, and human rights is the last thing on the minds of members like Saudi Arabia, Cuba and Libya."

I think that Neuer acquits himself well. On the other hand, it seems that the interviewer had her questions prearranged, so that she ends up asking questions that Neuer already answered.
