No challenge offered to Israel Nazi comments?

Just a small point - I read this story this morning about some ignorant (obviously left wing) professor claiming moral equivalence between the Nazis and Israel, and not one quote or comment was offered from anyone challenging those views or objectively pointing out the sheer ridiculousness of them, an easy enough thing to do and I'm sure those comments would be incredibly easy to find had the Beeb bothered to seek them out - as they invariably do if the story's about someone making comments which the lefties at the BBC find offensive.

I have to say that I find this 'UN Expert' especially sickening, because he is also a Jew. His comparison of Israel's treatment of Palestinians in Gaza to the Nazis is sick beyond the pale, and yet those who carry the shield of 'Human Rights' or 'United Nations' seem able to make this absurd comparison and it will be eaten up without a blink by the lefty liberal masses.

The Nazis did not leave an entire area with up and running industries to be self governed and controlled by the Jews. The Nazis were not bombarded daily by rockets fired from Jewish enclaves which forced them to retalliate. The Nazis simply rounded up all the Jews they could, confiscated their property and belongings, and shipped them off to death camps for extermination. This self-denying professor is so eager to distance himself from his roots, that had he been present in Nazi Germany he would have embraced Hitler as his saviour.

That somebody like him could head the UN Human Rights council is an indictment on both these insidious organisations, and how they've become nothing more than a propaganda vehicle for the corrupt nations that make up the majority.

I don't have the precise figures to hand, but I know there has been an inordinate number of UN Human Rights Council declarations of violations levelled at Israel, with little concern for the nations around the world perpetrating the real crimes. But what can be expected when looking at some of those nations that comprise the council
with dubious human rights records themselves, and with only one Jewish nation - not represented? If this 'expert' was truly concerned with 'human rights' he would first question this discrepancy within his own organisation.

Hardly surprising that the BBC portrays them as anything different than some sort of virtuous collection of world well wishers, when they put forward exactly the view that the BBC wants to be 'the truth'. It would be so easy to discredit the UN, and for so many failings, but it's not in the BBC interest to do so.
