It's UN Human Rights Office, not UN itself.
UNCHR is an odious organization that focuses on Israel to the exclusion of pretty much anything else.

I know some people dislike it, but lets stay with the facts here. It is "the UN" as much as the security council is "the UN". Both are relevant parts of it and if we choose and pick which ones we like things get very messy, very fast (even more than it is already).
"As of 2018, Israel has been condemned in 78 resolutions by the Council since its creation in 2006—the Council has resolved more resolutions condemning Israel than the rest of the world combined".
Do you seriously believe that the rest of the world combined has less human rights issues than Israel. If you don't believe that then the only logical conclusion is that the organization is biased and I will always take anything they say with a massive grain of salt.
I keep hoping that both sides of the Israel/Palestine issue will start boxing a bit smarter... but it never happens.
I disagree with that assessment. Israel gave away a ton of territory they've won in defensive wars. Sinai back to Egypt - that area alone is several times the size of Israel. South Lebanon back to Lebanon. Gaza back to Palestinians. Prior to Syrian civil war there was talk of Golan Heights going back to Syria in exchange for peace. There were multiple major attempts to make peace (like Clinton effort) where the Arabs walked away.
This tells me that Israel is willing to talk and the other side - no so much.
These are not talking points. It’s my observation.
Certainly, just Israel. And China. And Russia. And even asylum seekers sailing to Australia. But definitely a single issue antisemitic org.
