UN Watch's Hillel Neuer just took the floor at the United Nations human rights council, under their permanent agenda item targeting Israel at every session: “Mr. Chair, we meet today under the council’s only agenda item targeting a specific country – Israel. No other country in the world — not even the dictatorships nor the state sponsors of terror that just took the floor — has its own agenda item. Only Israel. And as we just heard, they do not speak of peace. They come only to scapegoat and demonize the Jewish state. That is why, when this item was created, even the UN Secretary-General denounced it. On June 20, 2007, Ban Ki-moon said he was “disappointed” at the Council’s decision to single out Israel — given, as he put it, the “range and scope” of human rights violations throughout the world. haaretz.com/2007-06-21/ty-… Indeed: if this Council truly cares about universal rights, why is there no agenda item on China, which denies basic human rights to 1.5 billion of its own people? Why no item on the Islamic Republic in Iran, which beats women for showing their hair? Why none on Syria, where half a million were slaughtered? Why none on North Korea, which runs political prison camps, and starves its people? Why none on Russia, which poisons dissidents, and bombs innocents in Ukraine? Why none on the Cuban police state, which holds a thousand political prisoners?” ⭕️ CUBA interrupts on point of order: “It is not admissible to hear such conduct or disrespectful language from any of the participating speakers which hinders the functioning of this council. The speaker must adhere to language which corresponds to the item under discussion.” 🇺🇳 CHAIR gives the floor back to UN Watch, but adds, “It is my duty to call on everyone to adhere to language that is commensurate with the dignity inherent with the discussion on human rights issues.” Hillel Neuer: “Mr. Chair, we heard Cuba, but if the UN Secretary-General could invoke abuses worldwide to criticize this agenda item, surely I may do the same.” “This agenda item does not advance peace. The UN was founded on universal standards. Yet when applied so selectively, turned into weapons of discrimination against one people, they cease to become standards at all.”

The Church of England’s General Synod today passed a motion by 238-7 votes, requesting 'His Majesty’s Government work to improve funding and access to desperately needed palliative care services instead of enacting a law that puts the most vulnerable at risk.’ #AssistedDyingBill

@_Chris_Coghlan Telegraph at its biased 'best'

Couldn’t resist getting the Telegraph today. Although I’d have preferred “fluffy” to “spineless”.

@EliAfriatISR 🇮🇱 🇮🇱

Do you support the IDF? YES = 🇮🇱 NO = 🍉

@Roberto01113798 @AberdeenCC @Christia_Allard @ScotExpress Important to protest against sectarianism, hate crime, etc.

But wait -- they will have been 'supported' by @AberdeenCC councillors @Christia_Allard and @MartinGreig -- they appear to champion any sort of protests @ScotExpress 🤔😡

@Roberto01113798 @AberdeenCC @Christia_Allard @ScotExpress I am pro Israel

West End FC 2020s fun,football and friendship at West End Park Hazlehead, massive thanks to McDonalds for their support. The kids had a fantastic time with lots of fun, plenty 😀 on show. @ScottishFA @ScotFANorth @FunFootballUK @MartinGreig #FootballForAll

@Roberto01113798 @Christia_Allard I always support the police.

You do realise what a hypocritical statement that is @MartinGreig when you and your mate @Christia_Allard openly approved of a Pollockshields baying mob preventing LAW enforcement officers from carrying out arrests of Illegal migrants -- 🤔

@Roberto01113798 I believe in law and order

You omitted anti law and order --- @MartinGreig 😡

@TeidRobert @scotlibdems just a random comment being thrown out

@MartinGreig @scotlibdems Sorry who racist

10 years on, Charles Kennedy remains sorely missed. Charles embodied a compassion, fairness and humanity that so many admired. It was a pleasure to see his former seat return to the Liberal Democrat fold at the general election last year.

@Roberto01113798 @JohnSwinney @Christia_Allard I am liberal, progressive and anti-racist.

Perhaps good viewing material for bleeding heart liberals like @JohnSwinney @Christia_Allard @MartinGreig ----------- 🤔

@TeidRobert @scotlibdems I'm against racism

@scotlibdems @MartinGreig And your in partnership with SNP I shak my heid

@Roberto01113798 @Christia_Allard The law - and the justice which the law articulates - is not on your side.

The law is my case and if as you so blatantly appear to support illegals breaking it , then more shame on you @Christia_Allard @MartinGreig 😡

True.

Never before in the history of the United Nations was a country attacked by terrorist armies on seven fronts and then labeled by the UN as the aggressor.

Great to be here

The stage is set for the second Aberdeen City Council music service concert spring 2025.
