I've Been Thinking:

For only the 6th time in history the United Nations Human Rights Council met for a special session.
The sole purpose of the session, which was held on Wednesday and on Thursday, was to condemn Israel for actions in Gaza.

The resolution was damning.
The language was very harsh.
There are 47 members on the Human Rights Council.
The vote was 30 for the resolution, 1 against and 15 members abstained.

Canada, the one vote against, once again stepped up and did the right thing.
Canada argued that the resolution must mention the Palestinian rockets.
Canada argued that the Council should be mandated to be concerned about all human rights and not only Palestinian human rights.

Who else is on the UN Human Rights Council?
China, Egypt, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia are all members.
China, Egypt, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia all boast their own horrific human rights records.
