Jewish NGOs silenced at UNHRC
During a United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) session on the “Human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories,” a joint NGO statement by two Jewish groups, Bnai Brith International and the Coordinating Board of Jewish Organizations, was interrupted by the representative from Egypt. He rejected the “seriousness” of these NGOs and their questioning of the one-sided condemnations of Israel. In a video released by Eye on the UN, the president of the UNHRC can be seen accepting the Egyptian’ point-of-order, silencing the Jewish NGOs.
