I found an
article on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the Jerusalem Post, “UN Human
Rights Council Approves Call for Arms Embargo against Israeli.” This article
explains the decisions made by the UN Human rights Council to try and stop arms
sales towards Israel. “The United Nations Human Rights Council called on the
international community to halt arms sales to Israel as it wrapped up its
month-long 37th session in Geneva.” Nikki Haley, US Ambassador to the United
Nations, “slammed the council’s anti-Israeli bias.” She compares the Human
Rights Council treatment towards Israel, to North Korea. Which says a lot
because Israel and North Korea are two totally different countries, and North
Korea is not respected by most Nations. Nikki threatens the council by stating
how the United States does not have “unlimited patience.” However, members argue
there has been horrific violence towards Israel and Israeli citizens have not
been treated well or accordingly. A UK representative concludes that “UK is
voting in support of the self-determination and human rights resolutions.” It
seems to me like this conflict will never end. There are too many differing
opinions and the conflict is so involved and difficult to understand. It seems
like there are always updates in the news, but the progress to resolve the
conflict is never ending. It is hard to please both sides when there is so much
history and tension between both parties, and third party countries could
possibly exacerbate the conflict by siding with one party and not giving the
other party fair treatment.
