Yep The Human Rights Council is proposing boycotting US companies that do business with Israel. Take a moment to take that in. The Human Rights Council, which Bush chose not to join, Obama joined right away, is dominated with Islamic countries. This council is using their position to hit Israel. The report attempts to instigate a campaign of boycott, divestment, sanctions, and legal action against a litany of international companies doing business in Israel They don't stop there. Not only are they threatening businesses like Hewlett Packard, Caterpillar and Motorola, but they are threatening legal action against the employees. http://freebeacon.com/u-n-human-rights-council-calls-for-boycott-of-u-s-companies/ side note - [i]the U.N. regular biennial budget has more than doubled between 2000-2001 and 2010-11 (from $2.49 billion to $5.16 billion), while the separate biennial peacekeeping budget has grown threefold over that same period (from $1.7 billion to $7.2 billion). The U.S. alone pays 22 percent of the regular budget and more than 25 percent of the peacekeeping budget. The contributions are assessed according to member states’ relative “capacity to pay,” calculated from national economic output.[/i] http://cnsnews.com/news/article/we-must-pay-our-un-bills-obama-administration-insists
