UN Council Condemns Israel as Violator of Women’s Rights
Meeting in Geneva on July 24, the United Nations Economic and Social Council voted to condemn the nation of Israel as a violator of Palestinian women’s rights.
In a resolution that reads more like parody than indignation, 40 nations of the 51-nation panel voted to condemn the Jewish State, claiming that Israel did not “respect fully international law applicable to the rights and protections of women and girls.”
