UN Names Democratic Israel as World's Top Human Rights Violator
(Fox News) Anne Bayefsky - On March 24, 2016, the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) wrapped up its annual meeting in New York by condemning only one country for violating women's rights anywhere on the planet - Israel, for violating the rights of Palestinian women. At the same time, Palestinian women are murdered and subjugated for the sake of male honor, Saudi women can't drive, and Iranian women are stoned to death for so-called "adultery." On the same day, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva condemned Israel five times. No European state voted against this onslaught of UN resolutions against Israel. Germany and the UK occasionally abstained, while France voted with Arab and Islamic states on all but one Council resolution.
