Libya Procurer of Weapons For Hamas
Nadene Goldfoot
There are all kinds of ways of making money. It's said that money is the root of all evil.   Libyan local warlords and foreign middlemen competed with each other to procure weapons that they stole from arsenals in Libya through their popular Black Market.  They were able to get a hold of anti-aircraft guns, mortars and such and they were smuggled into Gaza through Egypt to Hamas.   I wouldn't be surprised if all that money that goes to the PA from the UN winds up buying weapons this way.  I doubt if these people are just do-gooders and do it for the sake of the party. 

No, it doesn't look like Israel will have an embassy in this country.

                              Libya: Chairman of UN Human Rghts Committion 2003
Nadene Goldfoot
Libya has been the chairman of the U.N. Human Rights commission since 2003.  Najat Al-Hajjaji was the man in the seat.  When they were voted in, the USA opposed the vote done by secret ballot.  Libya was backed by 33 countries.  Only 3 brave countries voted against this while 17 abstained.  The African nations backed it. 

Now, finally in 2011 it has been suspended.  With Libya's terible behavior of killing its own people, they have had to step down from this position. 

All the while it is the UN's Human Rights who has attacked Israel.  I've always felt that the UN Council has been a lopsided group of countries that were against Israel no matter what they ever did. 

There are 192 nations making up the United Nations. 

One group of the 10 top picked to set good examples  of human rights are in the order of from one to ten:
Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Finland,  Germany, UK, Canada, Switzerland, Norway and Belgium. 

The USA didn't make it in the top ten.  I think it's time to move the UN building.  Maybe we can save some money by doing so.
