It’s official: today the U.N. Human Rights Council voted to adopt a resolution against the defamation of religions. It’s an attempt to abridge the right of free speech in order to protect Islam from criticism and insult.
The UN document archive where the text is supposed to be available is down now, so I haven’t been [...]

We have yet another example of how President Obama is revealing his real agenda towards Israel.
I’d written previously on how the Obama Administration had decided to participate in Durban II, a vicious fascist extravaganza against Israel and the Jews scheduled to be held in Geneva Switzerland this April by the so-called UN Human Rights Council, [...]

Why would President Hussein be seeing a seat on the notoriously anti-semitic, anti-American UN “human rights” council? It is seeking an appointment is an abomination - an affront to human rights and the very things America stands for and holds dear. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Claudia Rosett on the prevalence of antisemitism at the UN:

The title of my post was a fatuous, smarmy expression during its heyday in the 1960s. With the UN “peacekeepers,” though, it’s taken on a whole, horrible new meaning:
