United Nations – The United Nations’ Human Rights Council returned to business as usual Wednesday despite the U.S. pulling out a day earlier. Russia blasted the American move, calling it “boorish” and saying the U.S. “inflicted a powerful blow to its human rights reputation.”

The U.N.’s top rights body, based in Geneva, took up a discussion on summary executions and freedom of expression with the U.S. seats unoccupied Wednesday. The U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, announced the pullout Tuesday, criticizing the council for “its chronic bias against Israel” and pointing out that it includes accused human rights abusers such as China, Cuba, Venezuela and Congo.
In Moscow, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized what she described as Washington’s “boorish cynicism in stubbornly refusing to recognize its own human rights problems while trying to tailor the council to its political interests.”
She told a briefing that Washington “demonstrated disregard not only to the council but to the entire U.N. and its institutions.”
Russia’s U.N. mission said in a statement that the U.S. exit from the Council reflected Washington’s unilateralist approach to global affairs. The Russian mission described the body as a “key international platform for cooperation in protecting human rights.”
One Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said the U.S. was notably absent from an informal back room meeting in Belarus that it might normally have attended.
Russia is saying that the US isTrying to tailor the Council for his political interest. so blind And So anti-somatic Just look at the countries who are voting and what goes on in their countries incredible
It’s like finally climbing out of a sewer. There is not one good thing, not one, that comes out of the Council.
question- why don’t yidden praise Nikki Haley and the greatest president we yidden were ever priveleged to have, for their brazen decision to leave the anti-semitic, bloodthirsty human rights council? ALL FOR US!!!???
answer- because we are so abused by the world that we think our agressors really do love us after all. and, we jump on the lynch mobbed media wagon attacking the greatest, courageous most efficient and successful President Donald Trump so that we can ‘fit in’ to the world.
newsflash- the world hates us, turns a blind eye on the abuse we endure, keeps silent as our farms and wildlife burns to the israeli grounds, and cheers at the sight of condom filled fire balloons aimed at our frightened, traumatized Israeli brethren.
Haley and Trump deserve our praise. we need to flood the WH emails with such. Gd bless Trump! Gd bless the gutsy, eloquent and beautiful Nikki Haley!
Gd should inflict terrible disease and death upon the arabs. mavet la’aravim!
I hope our money is also leaving, for we have more to do with our money then feed haters.
“back to work”
that means only one thing: condemn Israel for something or other
Time for all countries with a backbone to leave.
i would like to warn (beg) the russians that if they dont like us it might make us so sad!!
This president is the most courageous, and upstanding person we’ve ever had in office! He couldn’t care less what his phony lying critics say, he just wants to do what’s right for America and the world!!!!!
