Biden wants to return to notorious U.N. Human Rights Council

March 1, 2021 MadMadNews Reposted Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, WND

United Nations Human Rights Council (U.N. photo)

President Biden wants the U.S. to rejoin the United Nation Human Rights Council, a body notorious for its leadership by rogue nations and its obsession with condemning Israel above all other nations.

With members such as China, Russia and Pakistan, 90 of the panel’s 160 resolutions criticizing individual countries have been about Israel. That means more resolutions have been directed at Israel than at all the other nations in the world combined, points out Hugh Fitzgerald for Jihad Watch.

The Trump administration quit the UNHRC in 2018 in protest after trying to reform it. But now the Biden administration says the U.S. plans to run for an open seat on the 47-member council, the Jerusalem Post reports.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. will immediately join as a non-voting participant then seek election for the 2022-24 term.

“We humbly ask for the support of all UN member states in our bid to return to a seat in this body,” Blinken said at a virtual meeting of the council last Wednesday, opening its 46th session, which ends March 23.

Blinken praised the council’s work in highlighting human rights abuses, but he criticized it for its treatment of Israel.

“We urge the Human Rights Council to look at how it conducts its business. That includes its disproportionate focus on Israel,” Blinken said.

He said the council’s permanent agenda item, Item 7, regarding Israel, should be eliminated. The panel, he said, should “treat the human rights situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories the same way as this body handles any other country.”

Cajoling rogue nations

Fitzgerald commented that Blinken “is hoping to accomplish what no previous administration has managed.”

“He thinks that once the U.S. is again a member, of the Council, it will be able to persuade or cajole or pressure others to do away with Agenda Item #7, and to judge Israel by the same standards – neither better nor worse – as are applied to all other countries,” Fitzgerald said.

He said Biden’s U.N ambassador should raise the mistreatment of Israel at every session of the council, “making clear he will give the UNHRC a year or two – not more — to show a marked improvement in its treatment of Israel.”

The first task, Fitzgerald said, is to get the UNHRC to eliminate agenda Item 7 and then to raise “again and again the unanswerable, embarrassing, question: how is it that more resolutions have been passed against Israel in the UNHRC than against all the other 192 nations put together?”

“Third,” he wrote, “just as American inducements helped to persuade four Arab states to normalize ties with Israel, the American government has many things to offer or withhold, bringing considerable pressure, both threats and cajolements, to bear on other members, in order that they reconsider their senseless, mechanical, even robotic, anti-Israel stance.”

If the panel doesn’t budge, he said, the Trump administration “has already provided a salutary model of how to walk out.”

Wash Post Op-ed: Sen. Paul Is A ‘Monster’ For Questioning Trans Policies for Kids

February 26, 2021 MadMadNews Reposted Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, Newsbusters

The potential United States Assistant Secretary of Health can’t even get the record straight on her gender but Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is the “monster” for expressing concerns about how someone like that might supervise America’s medical bureaucracy?

In an op-ed for The Washington Post, columnist and style reporter, Monica Hesse, went into attack dog mode against the Senator from Kentucky on February 26, after he refused to pull any punches while questioning of Biden’s potential Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine, during his Senate confirmation hearing. Hesse called Paul’s questioning of the appointee a “tirade” full of “ignorance” and “demeaning” questions.

Of course, let’s set the proper context here. Levine, a biological male who is now a “trans female” has endorsed controversial and dangerous transgender procedures being applied to children in the past. Though Hesse couldn’t be bothered to wonder if a Biden medical bureau helmed by a trans activist would have strange implications for the health of America’s children. Anyone who was skeptical, like Paul, drew her wrath. 

The columnist took issue with this question from the Senator: “Dr. Levine, you have supported [minors] being given hormone blockers, and surgical reconstruction of a child’s genitalia.” Hesse characterized it as a “tirade” and bashed him for comparing it to genital mutilation of the variety found in countries prone to human rights violations. 

The fact that Paul’s question about seriously consequential views regarding children’s safety and health was just glossed over and dismissed, is highly disturbing. Hesse ignored it, and on top of that, pivoted to what she saw as Paul conflating it with more serious issue of female genital mutilation (FGM), as if that should totally distract audiences from the horrors present in Levine’s views. Clever tactic. That’s like trying to get the jury to absolve the murderer because the prosecutor conflated the 2nd degree murder with 1st degree murder.

Though in all seriousness, is FGM, for example, any different than helping a child get his genitals surgically removed? Last time we checked, rape was the nature of sexual interaction with children under 18 in legal terms – even if they consented. The point is, they can’t consent. But now they can? 

Again, these are serious questions, and despite the implications of such an appointment, our columnist’s rebuttal boiled down to, well, she’s the “first publicly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.” Heaven forbid we ruin the woke moment. The piece even let Dr. Levine’s laughable answer to Paul’s question slide: “She would have been within her rights to be enraged by Paul’s ignorance, but she responded on Thursday by repeating a steady message: ‘Transgender medicine is a complex and nuanced field.’” 

Really? That’s it? There was nothing to her answer, but she was “steady” and yes, Mr. Paul was “demeaning.”

Ms. Hesse’s own justification for taking Levine’s side is the exact same as the trans doctor’s: “medical cases are complex, and there are fields of study and many experts who have dedicated their entire careers to thinking through ethical practices.” Mmhmm. So the argument is essentially, “it’s not what you think, bro.” Oh yeah, that’s convincing. 

Again the other main thrust of her argument was that, compared to Paul, Levine was so nice. Hesse wrote, “Levine spent three hours sitting behind a table, wearing a patterned blazer, a string of pearls, eyeglasses and a graying haircut. She occasionally sounded nervous, but always remained calm.” Oh that’s good. Nice equals good. You can convince little Timmy he can get a sex change as long as everyone stays “calm.” 

The piece added, “If you watched her exchange with Paul, you might have seen someone behaving monstrously. But it definitely wasn’t her.” And this is how they’ll justify future malpractice. They won’t answer our valid questions and they’ll just call us mean. What else is new?

Shocking racism taught in Buffalo schools to kindergartners-12th

February 25, 2021 MadMadNews Reposted Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, WND

(INDEPENDENT SENTINEL) – All-out racism is now allowed in United States public schools as long as it is against the new target of hate – white people. It is a Democrat-led ideology – mostly white Democrat ideology – but it’s allowed to continue thanks to the silence of Republicans and not just that of political leaders.

This horror of racist hate is now taught in Buffalo Schools. They claim “all white people” perpetuate systemic racism. School officials force kindergarteners to watch videos of dead black children to warn them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence.”

The dead black children include children accidentally killed including a child killed during a police raid, and one killed by a Hispanic man. Trayvon Martin was not killed by an officer and he was 17, but the program shows Trayvon at about age 12.
