Now, Kenneth Roth of @HRW blames Israel for the UNHRC's obsession with Israel!

Ken Roth, the director of Human Rights Watch, tweeted this yesterday:

Trump blocks a UN Security Council condemnation of Israel's demolition of ten Palestinian apartment buildings. And then Israel complains that the UN Human Rights Council, where there is no veto, is forced to spend more time on it. https://t.co/SxhjetPBbX? pic.twitter.com/ya3tBwvXV5

Really? The UNHRC was "forced to" write more resolutions against Israel than all other countries combined in its first decade because of the US veto of the UN's one-sided hate of Israel? Is the UNHRC "forced to" create its only permanent single-country agenda item to be aimed at Israel, a practice that has been condemned by other Western nations?

Does Roth think that the recent UN ECOSOC condemnation of Israel as the only country in the world violating women's rights is also a direct result of the US veto in the Security Council?

Of course, Roth has it backwards. The US veto is precisely because of the obsessive bias against Israel in the UN, which predates the UNHRC by decades. Roth has a truly twisted view of the world where he claims that the bias is a result of the US acting morally.

A real defender of human rights would rightfully wonder why the UNHRC ignores so many human rights violations worldwide while singling out Israel every year. A real defender of human rights would notice that UNHRC members are often the worst violators of human rights, and their membership gives them impunity.

But Ken Roth is not a real defender of human rights. He is an obsessive hater of Israel, as this tweet shows.
