Finally, A Blast of Common Sense Re the Zion-Loathing UNHRC

Erin Barclay, the U.S.'s deputy assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs, had this to say re the UN's deranged "human rights" body:
She questioned the sense behind giving Israel a dedicated agenda item at the UNHRC, as opposed to countries like Syria, North Korea, and Iran. 
“The obsession with Israel through agenda Item 7 is the largest threat to the Council’s credibility. It limits the good we can accomplish by making a mockery of this Council,” Barclay noted. “The United States will oppose any effort to delegitimize or isolate Israel – not just in the HRC, but wherever it occurs. When it comes to human rights, no country should be free from scrutiny – but neither should any democratic country be regularly subjected to unfair, unbalanced, and unfounded bias.”
Bravo, Barclay!
