You're all a bunch of Harper Valley Hypocrites!

Dear Friends: After all the stuff this clusterfuck of an administration pulled in the last year or so the Trump people finally did something right yesterday!

They announced Tuesday their departure from the United Nations’ main human rights body in its latest withdrawal from an international institution. (All the other things they quit  like the TPP and the Paris Climate Accord were just plain stupid folks!)

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley delivered the verdict on the U.N. Human Rights Council in a joint appearance at the State Department, according to officials familiar with the matter.

Haley threatened the pull-out last year, citing longstanding U.S. complaints that the 47-member council is biased against Israel plus the fact that most of the member's area bunch of hypocrites when it comes to Human Rights! (Israel is the only country in the world whose rights record comes up for discussion at every council session, under “Item 7” on the agenda. Item 7 on “Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories” has been part of the council’s regular business almost as long as it has existed.) 

Last year, Haley warned the Geneva-based council that the U.S. would withdraw if it did not end its systematic scrutiny of Israel and alleged Israeli rights abuses against Palestinians.

She denounced the council as a “forum for politics, hypocrisy and evasion” and accused member countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, China, Burundi and Saudi Arabia of failing to fulfill their duties to “uphold the highest standards” of human rights, while emphasizing what she said was the council’s anti-Israel bias. (With the withdrawal of the United States from the council this gives the Americans a 11 - 1 record (1 - 11?) of things they have done right!)

The way I see it anyway!
