Top violator of women's rights around the world? It's Israel says UN

Guess who is the number one violator of women’s rights in the world today? Israel. Violating the rights of Palestinian women.

At least that is the view of the UN’s top women’s rights body, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). CSW ends its annual meeting on Friday, March 20 by condemning only one of the 193 UN member states for violating women’s rights – Israel.

Not Syria. Where government forces routinely employ rape and other sexual violence and torture against women as a tactic of war. Where in 2014 the Assad regime starved, tortured and killed at least 24,000 civilians, and three million people – mostly women and children – are refugees.

In fact, not only is there no possibility that the UN Commission on the Status of Women will criticize Iran, Iran is an elected member of CSW. Sudan – whose president has been indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity – is currently a CSW Vice-Chair...

The Arabian and Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) led United Nations continues to show their unmitigated and everlasting hatred for the nation of Israel. As the God of Israel promised, He continues to bring the remnant of Israel and the Jews back to the land He promised (Jeremiah 30,31, Amos 9, etc.). The Arabs, OIC, United Nations, Obama, and the entire world are showing their opposition to this. But the God of Israel will get the last laugh in the end. The Bible says that much of Arabia will be completely devastated and uninhabitable upon the return of Christ Jesus.

Ezekiel 35:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying , 2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. 4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end: 6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. 7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth . 8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return : and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 10 Because thou hast said , These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: 11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. 12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying , They are laid desolate , they are given us to consume. 13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. 14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth , I will make thee desolate. 15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate , so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea (Edom - Arabia), even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

My and I bet ones like Susan Sarandon and Gloria Steinem are champing at the bit to endorse places like Iran and Syria and Saudi Arabia but, of course, dump on Israel.

That says a lot about the source of so-called “women’s rights.”

No wonder Obama wants the UN to be handling his business instead of our Congress.

What a piece of crap.

When international organizations become that much of a joke, they really need to be defunded.

We pay millions and millions of dollars to have the UN out and out lie? Can’t we find another world organization that could lie to us for pennies on the dollar?

It would be nice if the GOP candidates started LOUDLY declaring that because of this latest idiotic statement by the UN that it is clear the UN doesn’t deserve to be funded by the US any longer! If they are going to so blatantly, falsely and hypocritically declare Israel in violation of the very human rights violations THEY are guilty of- then they don’t deserve any more American dollars!

Many of us for years have said kick the UN out of the US and remove our membership. Make no contributions to this rotten bunch of communists and Muslims.
