The United Nations proves once again its "collective" lack of rational thought and its inability to use cognition to arrive at logical conclusions. For the most part it has become an organization driven by ideology and a growing hatred for the west and its concept of the rule of law.

The UN Commission on the Status of Women is expected to condemn Israel for its part in the degrading conditions of Palestinian women. Yet the politically motivated Commission ignores the near complete lack of women's rights in many, if not most Muslim countries. Glaringly they ignore the brutal treatment of Syrian women in the continuing crises in that country.

Haaretz - The United Nations' Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), scheduled to wrap up its annual session on Friday, is expected to pass a resolution condemning Israel's part in the degrading of living conditions for Palestinian women, while failing to mention the mistreatment of women in the ongoing crisis in Syria.

The United Nations' Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), scheduled to wrap up its annual session on Friday, is expected to pass a resolution condemning Israel's part in the degrading of living conditions for Palestinian women, while failing to mention the mistreatment of women in the ongoing crisis in Syria.

Friday's session will include such professional resolution as concerning "woman and natural disasters," "women hostages," women and girls and AIDS," and "mortality among women.

However, the panel is expected to also an eight-clause resolution, determining that the "Israeli occupation" in territories, including East Jerusalem, is the main obstacle for the advancement of the Palestinian woman.

The panel, which includes representatives from 45 countries, including Israel, is considered to be one of the UN's most active and respected bodies.

Responding to the decision to condemn Israel, Israeli envoy to the UN Ron Prosor told Haaretz that the "council's bring levels of absurdity and cynicism to new heights."

"The thousands of Syrian women butchered, tortured, raped and trampled under Assad's iron boot don't even get a passing mention in the panel's decisions," Prosor added. {Read More}

Indeed. Perhaps the United {Irrational} Nations should revoke its charter and member states pack their baggage and return to the native lands from whence they came.
