The United Nations Human Rights Council on Thursday approved five anti-Israel resolutions in which it took issue with Israel’s continued settlement activity, its treatment of West Bank Palestinians and its January military operation in Gaza.

Canada was the sole country to object to all the resolutions. They were joined in one instance by the Netherlands, Germany and Italy, who opposed the resolution against Israeli military activity in Gaza.

To date the council has passed 26 anti-Israel resolutions out of the 32 motions to censure countries which it has approved since its inception in June 2006.

THe UN Human Rights Council reminds me of what the exemplar of Tolerance Oliver Cromwell is reputed to have said when dispersing the Rump Parliament.
“You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately … Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”
