UN refuses to call attack on Israelis in Bulgaria "terror"

UN Watch (via Big Peace) explains how the corrupt politicians of the UN are keeping up their vulgar hostility to Israel:
Update: be sure to read John Bolton's newest op-ed in the Wall Street Journal (via Atlas Shrugs) about all the awful things both the US and Israel get for the UN's blank check.
Update 2: in more news about the terrorist attack, Reuters (via Jihad Watch) tells how the culprit looked just like anyone else and carried a fake driver's license from Michigan.
- A U.N. spokesperson said that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms." In fact, however, the U.N. chief's choice of terms was weak in comparison to his statement two weeks ago on the bombing of churches in Kenya. In that case, Mr. Ban rightly spoke of "terrorist"attacks, "reprehensible and criminal," saying the perpetrators "must be held to account." Yet today hereferred only to the deadly "bombing" of Israelis -- noticeably declining to describe it as an act of terrorism -- and he made no call for holding the perpetrators to account. UN Watch today urged Mr. Ban to clarify his position and to truly use the strongest possible terms to condemn today's terrorist attack.
- U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has remained silent on today's attack. By contrast, hours after the Gaza Flotilla incident of 2010, Ms. Pillay expresed her "shock" and condemned Israel. The top story on her office website instead criticizes Western states for how they combat terrorism, with America accused of having "dangerous" laws that violate due process. Supported by a Facebook campaign now going viral, UN Watch called on the High Commissioner to speak out for victims of terrorism, condemn today's gruesome murders in Bulgaria, and instruct her staff to investigate the perpetrators and hold them fully accountable for the crimes.
- The U.N.'s 47-nation Human Rights Council has also stayed silent. By contrast, in 2004 it wasted no time in convening an emergency session to eulogize Hamas terrorist leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, and to condemn Israel. Currently, the council is busy with yet another "fact-finding mission" into alleged Israeli human rights violations. The council has never mandated an inquiry into terrorism or rocket attacks targeting Israelis.

Update 2: in more news about the terrorist attack, Reuters (via Jihad Watch) tells how the culprit looked just like anyone else and carried a fake driver's license from Michigan.
