you can't discredit the UN that quick! I mean look at the exhaustive investigation into Israels activities during operation Cast Lead, mind you is was [probably] written up in advance of the investigation anyway, so what is wrong with doing that every time, I mean it is only Israel...

Are you naive to believe it would make a difference weather Israel participates in this charade they call HRC or not.The verdict is known way in advance so why prolong the agony.I for one would not have any dealings(not one) that has the UN stamp on it,let all agencies from Israel deal directly with countries that are willing to cooperate with Israel in all sectors weather it be Medicine High Tech or anything else and bipass the (garbage) UN.

Can't you read? Didn't you read my last paragraph or are you the type which reads only anti Israel news? I didn't call Israel an Utopia, only a Multi Culti & open society for everybody who want's to live there in peace & abide the law (including Arabs). It's a country of which many countries in the world could learn how to integrate hundreds of different cultures and turn it into a bright & colorful mix (despite the neighbouring countries telling Israeli's every day in graphic language how they would like to kill them of). It might not be what you want to hear, but it is what it is. Maybe you should join your friend Lydia from Brisbane, come to visit and see for yourself!

this committee consists of countries with abysmal human rights records and in the case of Venezuela, that country not only has horrible human rights abuses, but broke ties with Israel and supports terrorism against it perpetrated by Iran and Hizbollah!

"The Geneva-based council was set up in 2006 to replace a 60-year-old commission that had become widely discredited for allowing countries with poor human rights record to join and block criticism of their action." The current corrupt council is also filled with human rights abusers who are obsessed with using Israel as a shield to deflect scrutiny of themselves.

Here is the report: PALS authority are guilty of using civilians as shields. When security council condemns PAL authority and orders the arrest of all Hamas members, we'll turn in the rest of the report.

It was an Arab majority when in 1948 Israel sought recognition for its Jewish State
