Women's Rights at the UN: Israel as the Only Violator, Anne Bayefsky

Last Friday, March 9, 2007 the UN wrapped up its annual session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Guess where they found a violation of women's rights? Among the hundreds of thousands of women who are dead, dying, mutilated, displaced or raped in Sudan? Among the million female migrant workers cowering in the basements of Saudi Arabian villas from the taskmasters who stole their passports the minute they got off the plane? Among the women stoned and hanged for "adultery" in Iran? The millions of women forcibly aborted in China? The thousands murdered or forced to commit suicide for the crime of "dishonoring" their fathers and brothers across the Arab and Muslim world?

If you guessed "none of the above," then you'll enjoy coming on down to the UN. The UN's lead body charged with promoting and protecting women's rights identifies only one state as violating the rights of women in the world today – Israel.(Violating the rights of Palestinian women.) The vote was 40 for and 2 against (the United States and Canada).

Germany, on behalf of the European Union, gave a one minute "explanation" excusing its affirmative vote. It said: "we express our deep concerns for the impact on all women in the region including the Israeli women" – although Germany did not insist such language be inserted in the resolution itself. For 60 seconds, the representative of the country where millions of Jewish women and girls were murdered en masse not so long ago took notice of the Jewish mothers and daughters who have fallen victim to terrorism in the Jewish state. This is the moral corruption that the UN breeds within democracies like Germany. In the United Nations, an institution owned and directed by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the European Union grovels while the real abusers cheer.

Wow..well thank goodness this girl wasn't raped in evil Israel, no telling what they would have done to her...

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has sentenced a 19-year-old rape victim to 90 lashes for appearing in public with an unrelated male, the Scotsman reported March 6. Islamic law forbids women from appearing in public with men who are not relatives.
According to various press reports, an unidentified man told the victim that he would spread rumors about a relationship between them if she failed to meet him at a shopping mall. The victim met the man, but as they drove off, a group of men with weapons stopped the car. She was subsequently raped 14 times by her seven captors, then returned to her home in the eastern city of Qatif, where she kept quiet and attempted suicide.
A Saudi judge has handed down jail terms ranging from 10 months to five years to five of the rapists and the death penalty for the other men.
Through Saudi newspapers, the victim has begged Abdullah for clemency, asking him to consider her as "one of his own daughters" and spare her from punishment.

The UN, where they condemn everything America does or doesn't do in the Assembly. And after a hard days "work" they all go out shopping at Macy's around the block.
