PressTV... The Trump administration’s plan to quit the United Nation's Human Rights Council (UNHRC) over the body’s “anti-Israel bias” comes despite the regime’s well-documented and widespread human rights abuses, a Jewish author in London says. “What is fascinating is that America is doing it [quitting from the UNHRC] for Israel, the number 1 abuser of human rights in the contemporary world,” Gilad Atzmon, an Israeli-born British novelist, political activist and writer.
“This suggests that America is not a superpower; it basically operates as an Israeli colony,” Atzmon said Saturday in a phone interview with Press TV.
“This is quite embarrassing for [the] American people, but I assume most of them are probably used to the idea by now,” he added. PressTV-US expected to quit UN's human rights council The United States plans to quit the United Nation's Human Rights Council, according to US and Western diplomats.
The United States plans to quit the United Nation's Human Rights Council, primarily over Washington's claim that the UN’s main human rights body is biased against Israel, according to US and Western diplomats.
Diplomats who requested anonymity said it appears more a matter of when, not if, the pullout will happen.
The United States could announce its decision as early as Tuesday, a US official said. The official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and requested anonymity, said it was "all but decided" that the US will pull out.
US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, threatened last year to pull the US from the UNHRC. Haley has been pushing the UNHRC to end its scrutiny of Israel's widespread human rights abuses against Palestinians.
Never in the 12 years of the Geneva-based Human Rights Council, which investigates allegations of breaches of human rights, has a serving member dropped out voluntarily.
US media reported last year that US President Donald Trump is considering withdrawing the United States from the council, which the White House accuses of being biased against Israel.
Poster Comment:
[Tatarewicz] Atzmon is correct but he doesn't explain how this has come about. Americans, like people in all democracies, except for the Swiss, are politically lazy, thinking all there is to politics is marking a ballot (and half of them don't even do that). Only Jews realize there's lots more: there's selecting a candidate, raising money to publicize through signs, slogans and media the chosen candidate's campaign, making sure he/she follows through on key issues. Zionist Jews achieve the latter by assuring the candidate enough money and other campaign support to win will be provided if he pledges support for Israel. In the US Jews do this for Democrats and Republicans thus a key foreign policy issue is decided well before voters cast their ballots.
[Midwest For Truth] Gilad Atzmon is a hero for speaking the truth. I do agree with other posters. Most Americans have no clue about domestic or foreign policy. In the United States, even the educated class has been mislead, brainwashed, and/or dumbed down. We need more Gilad Atzmon's -- where Jew or not Jew: people who speak the truth.
Bookworm... I don;t think the average US citizen is aware they have been taken over. They are bombarded with TV series and movies that glorify war. I could never understand why a person would join their military until I read Fred Kaplan's books. But for sure the Deep State is controlled by dual-citizens of "another" state (verify using WIkipedia). Most countries do not allow dual citizens nor non-elected people in powerful positions in governemnt. The World is becoming a scary place. I guess the next thing will be to pull out of UN [sigh]
[BPStorm] Bookworm, do you know that it is a crime for an American citizen to serve in a foreign military, unless it is Israel's? Speaks volumes.
TAXCOLLECTOR2017> Kamrul Hasan... Ironic that it was ISRAEL that was the number one beneficiary of the UN. Now, no one holds Israel accountable, not even the propaganda.
[Truthis] Lol why do people act surprised as if this is a shock? The UN is designed to punish only the enemies of zionist not their zionist masters, other wise if they were sincere they would have sent a UN peace keeping force in Palestine to keep the synagogue of satan aka Israel in check
