19. What speaks volumes
That Ban Ki Moon is calling the Human Rights Coucil on the "carpet" about paying too much attention to Israel and more importantly not paying enough attention to other human rights abuses?

At a press conference in Geneva, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also rebuked the council when asked about its special session on Gaza.

"I appreciate that the council is looking in depth into this particular situation. And it is rightly doing so. I would also appreciate it if the council will be looking with the same level of attention and urgency at all other matters around the world. There are still many areas where human rights are abused and not properly protected," he said.


That does speak volumes
