No place for Israel, says UN envoy
Not many people will know that Israel, uniquely among all member nations of the UN, is excluded from full participation in the UN’s regional groups. It is this system of regional groupings, with its notorious vote-trading, that allows countries like Libya to chair the Human Rights Commission and Syria to get a seat on the Security Council (as it did in 2002) but systematically excludes Israel.
Add to that the absurd number of ‘human rights actions’ levied against Israel in the UN (as documented by the site Eye on the UN), the attempts to classify Zionism as racism and the obsession with the Palestinian issue, and you get a picture of an organisation of rogues and tyrants who do virtually nothing about about many of the big issues of the day (such as the mass killings in Sudan) but are very eager to condemn and scapegoat Israel at every opportunity.
Now UN envoy John Dugard, more precisely called the "special rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in the territories occupied by Israel since 1967" (yes, they have an office for that), thinks the UN’s position on a ‘two-state’ solution is virtually impossible and it should consider a "binational Palestinian state" - or the elimination of Israel, in other words.
