How Much Anti-Semitism Is Too Much?
(Jerusalem Post) Anne Bayefsky - In 2010, 80% of all UN General Assembly resolutions criticizing specific countries for human rights violations were directed at Israel. Only six of the remaining 191 UN member states faced human rights criticism at all, one of which was the U.S. Half of the country-specific condemnatory resolutions and decisions ever adopted by the UN Human Rights Council target Israel. This year the UN headquarters in New York will host the Durban 3 summit on racism in September, a few days after the 10th anniversary of 9/11, where Ahmadinejad and company will instruct Americans about tolerance. The event is named after the notorious 2001 Durban conference and is aimed at "mobilizing political will...for the full and effective implementation of the Durban Declaration," which charges Israel with racism and names no other state.
