UN Human Rights Council proves its anti-Israel bias in its own graphic

The UN Human Rights Council issued a self-congratulatory report for its activities in 2018.

One of the infographics in the report shows a count of all statements and resolutions by country with bubbles roughly proportionate in size to the count.

Resolutions involving Israel and "Palestine" (which they disingenuously count separately, even though all of them are criticizing Israel) are so numerous that the graphic artists needed to find enough empty space on the world map to fit them. So pro-"Palestine" resolutions are in Greenland and ant-Israel resolutions are in the north Atlantic and North America.

I highlighted them. Click to see the entire map full size.



Both of the largest bubbles represent not all resolutions, but only those under UNHRC Item 7, which is dedicated to bashing Israel (“Human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories”.)

By separating Israel and "Palestine" the artist attempts to minimize the absurdity of how much time the UNHRC spends on Israel, but even afterwards the two bubbles dominate the map, highlighting the absurdity of how the organization is single-mindedly focused on criticizing Israel.
