UN and media bias against Israel

[Boston1]

The question of UN and I might add media bias against Israel came up in another thread and I though the subject sufficiently interesting to warrant its own thread.

Alright. Pencils down and eyes to the front. Class is now in session.

The U.N.-Israel Relationship | Jewish Virtual Library

From your link:
Israel routinely faces more criticism and condemnation at the United Nations than any other country...​

I've already proven the UNSC portion of this claim was bullshit when I picked one year [2013] out of random and found out of 65 resolutions that year, only 2 were on Israel. And even those 2 were shared with Syria.

As far as the UN general assembly portion of the claim, see below. Out of 57 resolutions passed in 2013, none were on Israel.

Anti-Semitism in the United Nations | Jewish Virtual Library

From your link:
Emergency Special Sessions of the United Nations General Assembly are rare. No such session has ever been convened with respect to the Chinese occupation of Tibet, the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, the slaughters in Rwanda, the disappearances in Zaire or the horrors of Bosnia. In fact, during the last 15 years they have been called only to condemn Israel.​

In 2013, there were 57 UN General Assembly resolutions passed. Out of those 57, zero, none, "0", donut, nada, were on Israel.

From your link:
Whereas Arab states have traditionally used UN fora to demonize and isolate Israel (for example, they routinely attempt to deny Israel its credentials), they now believe they enjoy "Western" support which emboldens them.​

It's a little hard to say they "deny Israel its credentials", when they fucking admitted them into the UN as a member state!

From your link:
The latest Emergency Special Session, called to address Israeli construction at the Har Homa site, set in motion steps to de-legitimize Israel and to bring it to its knees. During its July meeting, the Session considered a resolution that requested member states "not to allow any import of goods produced and manufactured in occupied Palestinian territories, including Jerusalem" -- a virtual boycott and collective sanctions against the state.​

This is a protest of Israel's violation of IHL. You cannot build Palestinian sweat shops in an area of occupation. Choosing not to buy Israeli products made from cheap labor in the OPT, is not anti-Semtism.

From your link:
During its November meeting, it took a further step towards making Israel an outlaw state. In a vote of 139 to 3 with 13 abstentions, it set in motion the eventual convening of states parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention, which grew out of the Nazi occupation of Europe.​

Of coarse they're going to do this. When you break the law, you will be held accountable. And Israel has broken the 4th GC many times.

Are you saying Israel is above the law?

The Media's Shameful, Shameless Bias against Israel

From your link:
On Sunday, October 11, the Los Angeles Times ran the headline “6 Palestinian Teens Die Amid Mideast Unrest.” It was, technically, true. But it left out a few key details. Try the opening sentence, instead: “Two Palestinian teenagers were shot to death Saturday in Jerusalem, officials said, after they carried out separate stabbing attacks on an ultra-Orthodox Jew and two Israeli police officers.”​

And here's one of those details...

The IDF placing a knife next to the body he just shot.

Respected Journalists Expose Media Bias Against Israel

From your link:
There has been much discussion recently of Hamas attempts to intimidate reporters. Any veteran of the press corps here knows the intimidation is real, and I saw it in action myself as an editor on the AP news desk.​

This is bullshit for the very reason that Israel does not allow international reporters into the area.

From my link:
When Israeli military forces launched an invasion into the Gaza Strip, international journalists were barred entry into the territory by the Israeli government for the majority of the conflict, despite a ruling from the Israeli Supreme Court that called on the government to allow international reporters into the territory. Major international media outlets, including CNN and the BBC, ended up reporting from hilltops in Israeli-controlled territory kilometres away from the actual conflict.​

From your link:
The fact that Israelis quite recently elected moderate governments that sought reconciliation with the Palestinians, and which were undermined by the Palestinians, is considered unimportant and rarely mentioned.​

This is a load of crap! How can you possibly say with a straight face the Likud Party is "moderate", when their leader publically states there will be no Palestinian state on his watch?


Questions or comments?

As I recall there are something like 225 UN total resolutions relating to Israel

There are 75 or so resolutions against Israel.

How many countries have maintained an occupation and have oppressed a specific population for more than half a century?

Well actually, as to the second part of your whining, Islamic majority nations have historically oppressed a specific population: the non-Islamist part.

That has nothing to do with UN bias, but everything to do with Israel being a pariah state that thinks its above the law and can do whatever the fuck it pleases.

 

[Shusha]

How many countries have maintained an occupation and have oppressed a specific population for more than half a century?

About 17 officially. Another half dozen or so where the oppressed population hasn't enough legitimacy to be considered "occupied".

Oh, and that doesn't count oppressions against populations in recognized nations such as the First Nations peoples in the Americas and Australia and people of other religions or ethnic minorities such as in Muslim countries.

 

[Shusha]

The UN Health Assembly decided to mention only one country by name. Guess what country that was? You don't think that is a bias? Do you really think that Israel is the worst transgressor of health issues in the world?

 

[montelatici]

Is there any other country in the world that controls a population equal to its own in the millions, and does not enfranchise it?

Maybe you can show us what other countries have received a similar amount of attention ?

That has nothing to do with UN bias, but everything to do with Israel being a pariah state that thinks its above the law and can do whatever the fuck it pleases.

Actually this is a science project, in that if we're not going to use fair and unbiased judgement and instead cherrypick specific years when discussing an issue like this. Then you aren't offering a fair representation of the situation.

For instance I can't help but notice you ducked the issue with another ad hominem attack ( the exact thing yu accuse others of ) and failed to note any other nation that has been censured as much as Israel.

Is there any other country in the world that controls a population equal to its own in the millions, and does not enfranchise it?

Oops. Decided you'd better move the goal posts, huh? You asked if there were other countries which have occupied another for more than 50 years. Didn't like the answer, huh?

That sounds funny enough to ALMOST want to take him off ignore.

This has nothing to do with science.

I didn't cherrypick a year. I picked one at random. Cherrypicking is deliberately looking for information that supports your claim.

Then you aren't offering a fair representation of the situation.

So you say.

For instance I can't help but notice you ducked the issue with another ad hominem attack ( the exact thing yu accuse others of )

What ad hominem attack? I believe I asked you this question before and you didn't answer it then. Are you going to answer it now? Or is bullshit innuendo's as far as you go?

and failed to note any other nation that has been censured as much as Israel.

That is a reflection on the amount of fucked things Israel has done, not that the UN as it in for Israel.

If you figure the UN issues approximately 50 resolutions a year, which would add up to 7,850 resolutions since 1948, from which Israel received 225.......

......that amounts to only 2% of all resolutions issued.

That's hardly bias!

How many countries have maintained an occupation and have oppressed a specific population for more than half a century?

About 17 officially. Another half dozen or so where the oppressed population hasn't enough legitimacy to be considered "occupied".

Oh, and that doesn't count oppressions against populations in recognized nations such as the First Nations peoples in the Americas and Australia and people of other religions or ethnic minorities such as in Muslim countries.

What are those 17 countries?
