In addition, Israel made "a deliberate attempt....to suppress or destroy evidence." It also accused its government of fabricating its own version of events, including fake videos and other falsified materials.

HRC stood tall, pointing fingers the right way.

It's now complicit in Washington's regime change plans and likely war to achieve them. 

Israel massacred nine human rights activists and injured dozens more. Imagine the carnage if Syria replicates Libya's model. Months of bombing last year killed over 100,000 (mostly civilians), ravaged the country, and unleashed a firestorm of unending violence, slaughter, torture, and torment.

HRC has blood on its hands for not denouncing it. It's also guilty of letting Washington and rogue NATO partners suppress its January 2011 "Report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review: Libya Arab Jamahiriya."

It said Gaddafi's government protected "not only political rights, but also economic, educational, social and cultural rights." It also lauded his treatment of religious minorities, and "human rights training" of its security forces.

It then stood aside and let NATO turn Libya into a charnel house. It risks Syria becoming a greater one by outrageously pointing fingers the wrong way. It's going along with longstanding US plans to replace Assad with a pro-Western regime by any means, including war. It  looks increasingly likely. Then on to the next target - Iran.

Syria's toll may be multiple times greater than Libya. Iran will be far worse, especially if nuclear weapons are used against underground facilities. Potentially millions of lives are at risk.
