UN HUMAN RIGHTS OUTRAGE? ONLY IF YOUR ISRAEL

It's very rare that I agree with something form the SFGate, today is one of those rare occasions.

Joel Brinkley writes:

The world's foremost human rights organization has ordered its envoys to begin investigating people or groups around the world who abuse freedom of speech by violating certain "moral" standards.

The envoys would rely on individual governments to define morality in their own states. Imagine what would happen if Washington, London, New Delhi - even Moscow - tried to pass laws forbidding public discussion of "moral" issues like religion, alcohol or sex. What organization is setting up this absurd investigation?

The United Nations.

Several years ago, the United Nations found itself embarrassed by its Human Rights Commission because of its unremitting attacks on Israel and light regard for other human rights malefactors. It "cast a shadow on the United Nations system as a whole," then-Secretary-General Kofi Anan lamented at the time. In 2006, the United Nations abolished the commission and replaced it with the Human Rights Council, charging the new group with reform.

Brinkley comes close to the correct conclusion saying:

A more correct answer to our UN problem is to cut off all funding, all ties and completely wash our hands of them.  Many would surely follow, its time for America to stop catering to others opinions of us.
