Conclusions about Israel's Guilt in Gaza -Zion Evrony
The Goldstone mission was mandated by the UN Human Rights Council, which has passed 20 resolutions censuring Israel in the three years since its founding, out of a total of 25 resolutions passed by the Council.
Yet the Council, which includes paragons of human rights values such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Cuba, currently has nothing to say about the 400,000 deaths in Darfur for which Sudan is responsible, or the 1,000,000 displaced civilians in Somalia.

It is sad that the UN seems to have a problem focusing unfairly and disproportionately on Israel while showing little nerve to tackle the most egregious human rights violators. It is possible that they choose to target countries that might actually modify their behavior because of their reasonable human rights records and democratic systems.
Dear LHwrites,
So nice to find you back in comment-land! Hope this means that you've freed up some well deserved time.
Best,
Bruce
