The United Nations Human Rights Council held a moment of silence Tuesday for martyrs in Gaza killed in an Israel Defense Forces offensive in the Strip, after a request by Iran's foreign minister.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki called for the gesture on behalf of the women and children who are "nowadays under attack by the Zionist regime," the term Iranian officials use for Israel because they do not recognize its right to exist.
"I would like ... to request one minute silence and ask my Muslim brothers and sisters to read the Fatah for those martyrs in Gaza," he asked the council president, referring to the opening verse in the Koran. The room was silent for about 30 seconds. Those present said no one stood.

The UN? FM!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Yes...absolutely special. I am sure the Nazis did the same “silence for martyrs” everytime a SS guard slipped into the gas chamber accidently
Every American politician who does not support the removal of the US from the UN is contributing to the problem of Islamic Terrorism
What a load of unadulterated w*nk.
Sorry, I’m past my Muslim cr*p limit for the day.
A silent UN? Is that a bad thing?
I don’t recall the UN ever holding silence for the innocent Israeli school children and their mothers.
This, from a country that denies the Holocaust and routinely executes its citizens for trivial crimes in the cruelest, most painful ways.
Need I ask whether this bunch of hypocritical fascists have ever observed a moment for the innocent civilians of Sderot killed by rockets from unoccupied Gaza???
What else is new?
No joke.
If the terrorists weren’t attacking Israel, Israel wouldn’t have to respond.
The cesspool that is the UN needs to be pushed into the ocean.
Would these be the women and children that the cowardly spineless towel heads place on top of the building to use as human shields? This is a ploy used by every no-backboned Arab in history. Why should these jerks be any different?
The UN approved the creation of the State of Israel. The UN now favors terrorists. What happened in the meantime?
Most of those killed were Palistinian terrorists who were shooting rockets into Israeli civilian territory.
fox, henhouse, wtf?
A moment of silent snickering.
Bastards! IF indeed women and children were killed, and that is a big IF, then they should be remembered, and then the blame put solely on the SOB’s that are responsible. The terrorist muzzies and their god the devil.

BARF.
I just want to thank you America for sticking by Israel
We feel very much alone and hated, just because we exist.
I don’t undertstand that, at all.
Weak-kneed, spineless jellyfish.
The US Congress should pass a resolution never to enter into another failed global structure. We were warned back in 1919 by Sen Lodge.
The John Birch Society is right on the money!
