Fuck israel
When Israel was established, its founders made sure to emphasize, in its Declaration of Independence, the universal values of Jewish tradition: “The State of Israel […] will promote the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; will be based on the precepts of liberty, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; will uphold the full social and political equality of all its citizens, without distinction of race, creed or sex; will guarantee full freedom of conscience, worship, education and culture; will safeguard the sanctity and inviolability of the shrines and Holy Places of all religions; and will dedicate itself to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.” Later on, the Knesset voted to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Furthermore, Israel is in the habit of calling itself “the only democracy in the Middle East”, and since its earliest days, its leaders were partial to the term “a light unto the nations.” As we mark Human Rights Day, we should examine whether Israel stands by the high rhetoric of its founders, and whether it fulfills the Declaration of Human Rights.

As every person living in Israel knows, assuming their eyes are open and their hearts are not blocked, Israel and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have a rocky relationship. In the beginning of 2010, Gideon Sa’ar’s Ministry of Education decided to stop teaching the Declaration at schools (Hebrew), since it informs tender children of their right to convert to another religion and even, heaven forbid, live somewhere other than Israel. However, this is just a minor problem; reading the text of the Declaration shows that the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories violates 15 of its articles. Given that there are only 30 of them, that’s quite impressive.

Two sets of laws?
 
Fuck the UN.
"the Knesset voted to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
Fuck that too Eh?

"But perhaps the most painful violation is that which should be most obvious: “Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection,” says Article 25. Anyone who has seen detained children, quite a few of them under the age of discretion; anyone who has compared the special rights given to accused minors in the Israeli system with the almost dearth of comparable rights granted to Palestinian minors in the military courts; and anyone who has observed our brave troops raiding a house at night, handcuffing a child and blindfolding him; and anyone who understands the psychological damage to children witnessing their parents brutally arrested at gunpoint at night in their beds knows just how the most obvious is anything but that in the territories under Israeli occupation.

Yet these many violations, we should remind you, are not a force of nature, do not stand of their own power; they are no ancient, unbreakable law; they are man-made, they are an act we fund, carried out by those we empower to act and whose actions we approve – admittedly, mostly by averting our eyes. But we can mend this; and we shall.

We shall overcome."

Is this the same UN that stood by while Assad massacred over 400,000 of his own people? Everybody knows what the UN is.
 
There are few greater wastes of time and resources than the current United Nations.
 
Just about everyone knows once the UN became infiltrated with slews of Muslim nations the UN is not exactly a model for world peace anymore.

The truth about israel hurts you?
 
What gripes me is how Israel can do so much good for so many people & countries throughout the world & yet continue to provoke the Palestinians into hatred & violence with their damn Zionist agenda of peace offerings, security fence & land concessions keeping the Palestinians captives in Israel instead of trying to help free them back to their native homelands where they would receive the love, justice & respect from their own Arab brothers the Palestinians were so well accustomed to --- And so well deserve.

Nope, one set of bias.
The education ministry didn't "stop teaching the Declaration at schools", but just pointed out, that the book "We Are All Born Free - The Declaration of Human Rights in Pictures" is inappropriate for kindergarten children.

As a form of international law, International Human Rights lLaw (IHRL) is primarily made up of treaties, agreements between sovereign states intended to have binding legal effect between the parties that have agreed to them; and customary international law.

When Israel was established, its founders made sure to emphasize, in its Declaration of Independence, the universal values of Jewish tradition: “The State of Israel […] will promote the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; will be based on the precepts of liberty, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; will uphold the full social and political equality of all its citizens, without distinction of race, creed or sex; will guarantee full freedom of conscience, worship, education and culture; will safeguard the sanctity and inviolability of the shrines and Holy Places of all religions; and will dedicate itself to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.” Later on, the Knesset voted to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

(COMMENT)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is often called a milestone in the history; but, it is not Human Rights Law (IHRL). "There are 9 Core International Human Rights Instruments; that make-up binding law. Each of these instruments has established a committee of experts to monitor implementation of the treaty provisions by its States parties." The UDHR (while famous) is not law and is not implemented anything like a binding agreement.

We should be very careful that we do not think badly of someone that violates a Non-Law. Our friend "fanger" is playing fast and loose with the truth when implying that Israel violates 15 Articles of IHRL. They are not law. And please don't confuse IHRL with IHL; two different criteria stock.

Go back to the drawing board.

Most Respectfully,
R
