Pat Condell On Israel and the United Nations

As usual, blunt take-no-prisoners Pat Condell hits the nail on the head (several times).
The only thing that surprises me is that he implies that things are getting better, that more people are seeing Israel's view and what they have to put up with.

Who'd have thought that Condell was an...optimist?

Rumors of the U.N.’s Benefits Have Been Greatly Exaggerated 

This article by Anne Bayefsky appears today on The Weekly Standard.

Portraying President Obama’s U.N.-centered foreign policy as consistent with American values or pro-Israel has become increasingly difficult for administration officials. The result has been a steady stream of inaccurate accounts of goings-on at the organization. On Friday, December 2, the Obama administration made another attempt to justify its decision to join the disreputable U.N. Human Rights Council. The Council had just followed a discussion on Syria with a resolution promising to appoint a human rights investigator – four months from now, in March 2012 and rejected calls to seek the involvement of the Security Council and the International Criminal Court. – U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice tried to praise the body’s toughness: “No nation has been the subject of more than one special session, let alone three, in such a short amount of time.” In fact, while the Council held three special sessions on Syria between April and December 2011, it has held six special sessions on Israel and three of those occurred in a shorter amount of time, namely, between July and November 2006.
