US pulls out of UN Human Rights Council: Haley disgusted with political bias

The Trump administration has withdrawn the US from the United Nations Human Rights Council. Our U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley called the 47-member council "a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias."

Well of course they are--they're made up of Islamic states and therefore are dedicated to anti-Zionism.

Haley said the move comes after a year where "we did not see any progress." She threatened to pull-out last year, citing years of U.S. complaints that the council is biased against Israel. [For more information as to why Islamic nations are biased against Israel and the Jews, see the Koran and Sunna.] This move, it must be noted, comes a day after the U.N. human rights chief denounced the Trump administration for separating migrant children from their parents in Obama and G.W. Bush style.

"I want to make it crystal clear that this step is not a retreat from our human rights commitments. On the contrary. We take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights," Haley said. "We did not make this decision lightly. When this administration began 17 months ago, we were well aware fo the enormous flaws in the Human Rights Council. We could have withdrawn immediately. We did not do that. Instead, we made a good faith effort to resolve the problems."

Trump has long been rightly critical of the UNHRC as it has shown a bias against Israel.

Haley slammed the Council for its "relentless, pathological campaign" against Israel.

I wouldn't call it pathological unless you consider orthodox Islam as such. It is clear in Islamic scripture that the Jews are to be hated and have been compared to apes and pigs. Israel is symbolic of the Jews and this is why many Muslims want it destroyed and all the Jews annihilated.

National Security Adviser John Bolton opposed the creation of the Council when he served as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under George W. Bush.

"The U.N. Human Rights Council is headed up by some of the worst human rights violators in the world. They are actually in the leadership of the Council year after year after year," said Sen. James Lankford (R-OK). "They are anti-Israel, over and over again. That is their constant drumbeat. So, I get it, we can try to be there, so we can try to be a participant in it. But when you are there, we vote no ever time, and it just becomes a problem every time as well. So it doesn't seem to make a difference whether we are there or not there."

According to one senior official, the U.S. gave the UNHRC a year to reform and fix up its act, but it failed to do so. The official said the Council actually protects human rights abusers, allows them to serve on the Council and is clearly bias in rendering decisions. Countries such as China, Russia and Egypt have worked to undermine U.S. efforts and the Council has passed more resolutions this year condemning Israel than it has condemning Iran, Syria and North Korea COMBINED!

The Trump administration no longer wants to remain in the Council as it lends them credibility. We will only rejoin if it reforms, and the chances of that happening is practically zero to none.
