Reason #1,999,999 to stop giving the U.N. any more of our tax dollars and kick them out of the U.S.
They really need to relocate.
I hear Outer Mongolia is lovely this time of year.
Via Fox News: Anne Bayefsky — Top violator of women’s rights around the world? It’s Israel says UN
Guess who is the number one violator of women’s rights in the world today? Israel. Violating the rights of Palestinian women.
At least that is the view of the UN’s top women’s rights body, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). CSW ends its annual meeting on Friday, March 20 by condemning only one of the 193 UN member states for violating women’s rights – Israel.
Not Syria. Where government forces routinely employ rape and other sexual violence and torture against women as a tactic of war….
Not Saudi Arabia. Where women are physically punished if not wearing compulsory clothing, are almost entirely excluded from political life, cannot drive, cannot travel without a male relative, receive half the inheritance of their brothers, and where their testimony counts for half that of a man’s.
Not Sudan. Where domestic violence is not prohibited. There is no minimum age for “consensual” sex. The legal age of marriage for girls is ten. 88% of women under 50 have undergone female genital mutilation. And women are denied equal rights in marriage, inheritance and divorce.
Not Iran. Where every woman who registered as a presidential candidate in the last election was disqualified. “Adultery” is punishable by death by stoning. Women who fight back against rapists and kill their attackers are executed. The constitution bars female judges. And women must obtain the consent of their husbands to work outside the home….
Not Palestinian men. Not religious edicts and traditions. Not a culture of violence. Not an educational system steeped in rejection of peaceful coexistence and of tolerance.
Instead, the fault for a UN statistic like this one – an average of 17% of Palestinian women are in the labor force as compared to 70% of Palestinian men – lies with the Jewish scapegoat….
…there was no report on Chinese women and girls, half a billion people without elementary civil and political rights, who still face the prospect of forced abortion and sterilization….
There was no report on women in Yemen, where the penal code goes easy on the killers of women for “immodest” or “defiant” behavior, there is no minimum age for “marriage,” and women have no equal rights to property, employment, credit, pay, education, or housing…

If anyone finds a statement denouncing this travesty from our U.N. Ambassador Power(you know her, right?…between her, Rice and Clinton they managed to completely screw up Libya, and the there was this ‘thing’ called ‘Benghazi’…), please post.
But ‘here’s the thing’, if you can’t find one, then that means that the United States agrees, yes? By the way, let me know of one of the ‘Bobbsey Twins’ are asked about this at the usual farce of a presser at State, too.

How silent NOW, crickets abound.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in November 1815, so the 200th anniversary of her birth is being celebrated. You’ve come a long way baby?
Maybe now Israel will feel the pressure to stop strapping suicide bombs onto women. Oh wait …
