srael is halting all cooperation with the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) following the council’s decision to launch a fact-finding mission into the country’s settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

­

Israel’s Foreign Ministry slammed the UNHCR for anti-Israeli bias, further isolating itself from the international community by moving to completely shun the inter-governmental body.

“We’re stopping all and any cooperation with the council,” a senior Foreign Ministry official said Monday, The Times of Israel reports.

“From now on, we will no longer work together in any way, shape or form with any officials from the council, including the High Commissioner,” he continued. “If anyone from the council calls us, we just won’t answer the phone."

Following the announcement of the fact finding mission, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said “the council should be ashamed of itself,” calling it a “hypocritical council with an automatic majority against Israel,” the Haaretz daily cites him as saying.

Last Thursday, the UNHCR voted to send a probe to “investigate the implications of the Israeli settlements on the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Palestinian people throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem."

The council also called on Israel “to cooperate fully with the mission."

The 47-member body adopted the draft resolution with 36 votes in favor and 10 abstentions. The United States was the only country to vote against it.

Goddamn , you guys just can't stop sucking Israel's cock.

The US should leave the UN and tell them to get their crap packed and leave New York.

It's been like this for decades.


Americans are too ignorant to pay attention to the atrocities we let Israel get away with... And the eff tards wonder why most of the world hates our foreign policy...

Funny; slavery, murder and deprived right all over the world and they choose to investigate this. It is any wonder the UN HRC is seen as such a joke? A joke in bad taste at that.

Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

Anyone who defends themselves looks bad if you disregard what they are defending against.

Totally missing the point. If they wouldn't be conducting any inhumane activities than why would they care if anyone investigates ? you only care if you have something to hide
