If the UN decided to start Human Rights Inspections, where should it begin? Israel/Palestine is the most politicized confrontation, but is it really the worst?
Which human rights are the most important?

If it is the right to life, don't the Palestinians violate Israeli human rights?

If it is the right to free speech, maybe the UN should start with China or Egypt.

If it is the right to practice your religion, start with Saudi Arabia?

If it is the right to be free from enslavement, then Sudan.

Constantly focussing on one side of one confrontation and ignoring all others is hypocrisy. If the only human rights you care about are those of the Palestinians then you really don't care about human rights at all.

I quoted your whole post, because for once you make sense. So you do support compelling all these regimes to respect human rights. And if not, bombing till they comply or die. I hope the US gov agrees with you.

I don't mind where they start, as long as they do them all.
