In its latest witch hunt against Israel, the United Nations may pick an Israel-hater to lead the “investigation:” President Carter Could Lead U.N. Investigation of Israel.

Yesterday in Geneva, the U.N. Human Rights Council, which in its five months of existence has failed to pass one resolution on any country other than Israel, concluded its third emergency session on the Jewish state. In the session’s resolution, the council called on its president, Ambassador Alfonso de Alba of Mexico, to establish a fact-finding mission to investigate the incident at Beit Hanoun.

A diplomat in Geneva who requested anonymity said the sponsors of the resolution are planning to ask Mr. Carter to head the investigation. Other candidates include the diplomats Martti Ahtisaari of Finland and Sadako Ogata of Japan.

Jimmy Carter’s new book explicitly calls Israel an “apartheid” state. Just the man for the job!
