US already left the U.N. educational and cultural organization and now this .....So looks like we’re doing a slow withdrawal.step by step.

The Heritage Foundation defended the move, calling the council “notably incurious about the human rights situations in some of the world’s most oppressive countries.” Brett Schaefer, a senior fellow, pointed out that Trump could have withdrawn immediately after taking office but instead gave the council 18 months to make changes.”

Kenneth Roth, the EX. Dir. of Human Rights Watch responded to this latest withdrawal...... “All Trump seems to care about is defending Israel.”

On Twitter, al-Hussein, the ‘U.N. human rights chief’, said it was “Disappointing, if not really surprising, news.”

Kenneth Roth lambasted the President for caring about Israel.

It shows what a joke Human Rights Watch has become defending a body dominated by regimes that abuse human rights.

Which the UNHRC, thanks to its blind obsession with Israel, isn’t defending.
