UNHRC a ‘terrorist rights council’

PM says UN’s human rights council is sending a message to terrorists that they can use civilians as a human shield by giving Hamas a pass while criticizing Israel.

Netanyahu calls the Human Rights Council a terrorist rights council, and says the UN’s human rights council is an oxymoron, and says it’s connected to anti-Semitism.

Listing a number of anti-Semitic incidents, he notes that they are not the result of Israel’s policies, and speaks of fears that it is now entering polite society.

“Today the Jewish state is demonized with the apartheid libel and charges of genocide.”

“In what moral universe does genocide include warning the civilians to get out of harm’s way,” he asks, adding a number of Israel’s other efforts during the Gaza conflict.

Without using Abbas’s name, he mentions the Palestinian leader’s writings denying the Holocaust.

“Israel will continue to stand proud and unbowed,” he says to applause.
