More Proof That Obama Doesn't Have Israel's Back; Or, For That Matter, America's

For all the years that George W. Bush was in office, we, as a country, refused to participate in the United Nation's Human Rights Committee (HRC).  The reasons were simple.

First of all, the HRC is an in-name-only sham operation.  Of the 47 nations that make up the "Council", only 21 are actual democracies with its people even able to vote for their own fate.  The rest of the member nations were being run by royals, despots, and dictators; many of which are know human rights abusers in so many ways.  In fact, Libya was one such country.  It only lost its membership in the HRC in 2011 when it's leader, Gaddafi,  went beyond his normal violations of human rights and started openly slaughtering unarmed protestors in the streets of Libyan cities during that country's recent revolution.

More importantly, Bush refused to participate in this organization because it was dominated by Islamic countries who, year after year, have made sure that the HRC has generated dozens up dozens of resolutions calling for actions against Israel. In fact, in just the last session, the HRC recommended that the U.N. General Assembly adopt a total of 8 sanctions against countries for supposed violations against human rights.  5 of those 8 were calls for sanctions against Israel.

But, instead of following, Bush's lead, Obama -- shortly after taking office -- decided to saddle-up with this extremely anti-Israeli body.  And, what did we get for that?  Well, the HRC will shortly recommend another set of sanctions affecting Israel.  But, this time it is against American companies doing business with Israel.  What's worse.  The recommendation was authored by our own representative to the Human Rights Council, the Obama-appointed, Richard Falk.

To me, this is just unfathomable.  It clearly proves that this Administration is both anti-Israel and, now, anti-American business.  If not just anti-American.   I'll bet money that you won't find that in his recently released, 20-page glossy on how Obama will supposedly grow the economy in a second term. 

Please note: While the Associated Press did write an article regarding the HRC's recommended actions against U.S. companies, not a single mainstream media outlet like the New York Times, CBS, ABC, etc. picked up that story.  You can Google it for yourself and you won't find anything.  That's because they know just how explosively dangerous this fact would be to the President's reelection.
