In 2021, the United Nations Human Rights Council, the U.N.’s top human rights body, created an unprecedented permanent Commission of Inquiry designed to target Israel, applying double standards to the Jewish state and questioning its place in the family of nations. The U.N. General Assembly decided to fund this antisemitic fishing expedition at the end of December 2021 over the negative votes of both the United States and Israel.

A week later, starting Jan. 1, the Biden administration rejoined the Human Rights Council as a full member.
