Robustly Anti-Semitic

"The report disregards the thousands of suicide bombings, knifings, and other terrorist attacks committed by Palestinian Arab groups, failing to acknowledge how this violence brought about Israeli security measures in the territories that did not previously exist."
"The reality is that the HRC's fact-finding enterprise is dedicated chiefly to attacking but one country: Israel. In the entire history of the HRC, there have been seven one-sided inquiry missions on Israel, and only five on the rest of the world combined. Mass atrocities committed by Iran, China, or Sri Lanka, for example, have never been subjected to a single HRC inquiry."
"In a week when the UN legitimized genocidal Sudan, by electing the regime as vice-president of a top human rights body, it is now focusing its scarce time, resources and moral outrage on yet another biased, politicized and one-sided report against Israel."
Hillel Neuer, UN Watch 

Israel, long accustomed to its dog-in-the-manger status at the United Nations, and in particular in the considered, less-than-neutral opinion of those sitting on the UN's Human Rights Commission, wearily declined to co-operate with its latest mission to unearth as many condemnatory accusations as possible with which to strike another triumphant, accusatory blow at the country. French judge Christine Chanet, slammed Israel for its non-cooperation.

Which, she acerbically pointed out, is more than ample reason for no accounts coming out of Israel itself. Rather, interviews were confined to fifty individuals living in Jordan (!?!) whose personal accounts of the impact on their lives of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem formed the basis for the conclusions that her study reached. The report, condemning Israel for "ethnic cleansing", and undermining the possibility of a Palestinian state, is the result.

"The only way to resolve all pending issues between Israel and the Palestinians, including the settlements issue, is through direct negotiations without preconditions. Counter-productive measures -- such as the report before us -- will only hamper efforts to find a sustainable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict", pointed out a spokesperson for Israel's Foreign Ministry, reasonably and calmly enough, under the circumstances.

Palestinians, on the other hand, are pleased with the report. Considering it as "proof of Israel's policy of ethnic cleansing". The investigative panel's conclusion that Israel is violating international humanitarian law under the Fourth Geneva Convention, is pleasing news to the Palestinian Authority. The UN's Human Rights Council's activities regarding Israel and its abusive human rights, counter to the expectations of those sitting on the Council, like Syria, Libya and Sudan in their turn, are always a delight to the Arab world.

At a news conference the report was termed "a kind of weapon for the Palestinians", Christine Chanet generously opined. Should they wish to take their grievances against Israel's inhumane intransigence to the International Criminal Court in the Hague, the report would constitute an important document for the ICC to consider. And the PLO, in response, indicated its gratefulness, and its likely willingness to seek such action.

Another member of the investigative panel, hailing from a country celebrated for its human rights record, and particularly toward women, had her say, as well. Pakistani lawyer Asma Jahangir characterized the Israeli settlements as a travesty of justice since they "seriously impinge on the self-determination of the Palestinian people". Whose violent attacks against a neighbour are not considered worthy of mention.
