True to Form, the UN's Odious "Human Rights" Racket Replaces One Zion-Loathing High Commish With Another

Navi Pillay is out and a Hashemite royal is in:

The United Nations has tapped as its next High Commissioner for Human Rights a Jordanian prince who has said that Palestinian suicide bombings are “no less horrific” than Israel’s efforts to prevent civilians from terror attacks. 

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon announced over the weekend that he has nominated Prince Zeid Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein, a member of Jordan’s royal family and its current UN ambassador, as the next high commissioner, a senior official who monitors human rights across the globe. 

The post has been used in the past as a bully pulpit to target Israel for criticism over its treatment of the Palestinians. 

Human rights leaders expressed concern that al-Hussein will be no different given controversial comments he has made equating the activities of Palestinian terrorists to Israeli “practices” in the West Bank and elsewhere. 

Al-Hussein, whose appointment must still be confirmed, is set to replace current High Commissioner Navi Pillay, who pursued for years what observers have called an “anti-Israel and anti-American agenda.” 

Pro-Israel advocates warn that al-Hussein will be no different, pointing to controversial past attacks he leveled on Israel...

In other words, meet the new High Commish, same as the old High Commish.
