Comments on: How did the democracies and the dictatorships vote in UN Human Rights Council resolution against Israel? http://www.robinshepherdonline.com/how-did-the-democracies-and-the-dictatorships-vote-in-un-human-rights-council-resolution-against-israel/ Think Tank Blog: The online repository of articles on anti-Zionism and civilisational decline by analyst Robin Shepherd Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:39:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Simone Bacchini http://www.robinshepherdonline.com/how-did-the-democracies-and-the-dictatorships-vote-in-un-human-rights-council-resolution-against-israel/#comment-1279 Simone Bacchini Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:54:58 +0000 http://www.robinshepherdonline.com/?p=1349#comment-1279 Although, as an Italian living in Britain, I'm often embarasses beyond words by the current Berlusconi's government, I have to admit that when it comes to foreign policy the country scores better. I was proud when Italy opposed the Durban II, anti-Israel hate-fest; I'm glad now that it has done the same with this revolting resolution. What perplexes me the most - however - is not why some countries voted for it, but why countries like Britain and France did not oppose it. If two pillars of the free world behave like this, what hope is there to preserve Israel's integrity and - ultimately - our freedoms and values?

It is well known that India's administration leans towards Israel (we have common enemy) but shame that in that shameless talking shop costing every civilised nation a fortune, its true voice still can not be allowed to be heard. Not that I am any more proud of my adopted country's (Britain) abstinence. As someone whose roots are from India, I am ashamed at how India voted.

Not one of the media has exposed the truth that the report was doctored although Judge Goldstone claimed it had. However, while the arab nations control their intelligencia, they have descended to the depths of lies, doctoring,and spreading anti-semitism. They are blind from arrogance and do not wish to see that they are preparing the world from Armagedon with the killing not thousands but millions of innocents of arab, CHRISTIAN,HINDU, CHINESE,RUSSIAN AND MANY OTHERS. I hope that a second MOHAMMED / MORSHIA / CHRIST / BUDDHA / GANESH appears and save us from these educated intelligent despots.

That is truly disgusting! Britain was in effect say, yes we know you are innocent BUT if you only stop all building in disupted terriroties then we will vote against the resolution. Or put it another way, we will only vote against the resolution if you do xyz Israel! With friends like Britain, who needs enemies?

The same very mob that runs and controls the vote in the UN Human Rights Council! Shame on France and Britain for being gutless and while some of the worst dictatorships and rotten dictators in the world were passing a resolution against Israel’s human rights record they put on the three monkeys’ act: we do not hear, speak of see!
