Thread Name: BS: Cultural genocide
Subject: RE: BS: Cultural genocide
I am beginning to lose track of who is supporting what line here. Keith links to a list from UN Watch ("UN Watch is a non-governmental organization based in Geneva whose mandate is to monitor the performance of the United Nations by the yardstick of its own Charter. )

That has an introduction to the list that includes The council has criticized Israel on 27 separate occasions, in resolutions that grant effective impunity to Hamas, Hezbollah and their state sponsors. Obsessed with condemning Israel, the Council in its first year failed to condemn human rights violations occurring in any of the world's 191 other countries. In its second year, the Council finally criticized one other country when it deplored the situation in Burma, but only after it censored out initial language containing the word "condemn." It even praised Sudan for its "cooperation."

In most cases where EU countries did not support the resolutions they abstained. That suggests distaste for a particular bandwagon rather than lack of criticism of Isreal.
