UN One Step Closer To Prosecuting Israel For War Crimes

The UN Human Rights Council approved a report on the recent war between Israel and Hamas which was highly critical of Israel's actions. Of course. Self defense is a bad thing nowadays. The vote was 25 to 6 and I haven't been able to find any information detailing the vote by country yet, but I can just about guarantee you this was strict Middle East versus Israel vote given the makeup of the board. The council is comprised of 47 members and we do know England is one of the 11 countries which abstained. Doing the math, however, that does not add up. Thirty-one countries voted, 11 abstained that leaves five unaccounted for.

The council approved the resolution after two days of debate over a controversial report on last winter’s war that was written by Judge Richard Goldstone. The study, which condemns Israel’s conduct, theoretically paves the way for international prosecution of Israelis and Palestinians accused of war crimes.

C'mon, news folks. Can't you even do simple math?

I wonder how the U.S. voted if it voted? Did Obama even bother to vote present? You do remember he is now a member of this council? Wouldn't it sort of be hypocritical to make a big production out of joining this council and then skip out on the votes just like he did as a state senator, a U.S. Senator and now, it appears, as President. Barry, one day you are going to have to stop running. The issues are going to overtake you and soon there is not going to be anyone left to blame or throw under the bus.
