UNHRC Resolves to Take Away Israeli Guns, US Gives Them Back

HRC Secretariat and OHCHR Officials at Human Rights Council

Last week, the United Nations Human Rights Council called on the international community to stop selling arms to Israel. That was just one of five anti-Israel resolutions the UNHRC approved during its 37th month long session in Geneva. Naturally, the UNHRC wants to take away Israel’s ability to defend itself, but not to fear, the U.S. has responded by pledging a record $705m in missile aid defense to Israel.

It’s an old saying: money talks, nobody walks. The UNHRC is all about meaningless pronouncements. But the U.S. puts its money where its mouth is: loudly in solidarity with Israel!
