Your Fourth Of July Idea Courtesy Of Ted Cruz

++The various international human rights monitoring organizations have become eviscerated through state actions and resistance. One of the projects for the future is to restore the primary of human rights in international affairs. That will take some time.

++Ted Cruz jumps into the fray . I guess in the name of American exceptionalism. He proposes that the United States withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council . The reason is because the UN Human Rights Council condemned Israel for its 2014 attack on Gaza. Only the United States defended it. 

++The days when the United Nations automatically condemned Israel have changed with the increasing concern about the conflict with the Palestinians. 

++But you will hear more calls like Cruz' to withdraw from international organizations. We have seen how the OAS has gotten weakened as countries started to resist the rulings of its human rights court. 

++Then we will face the situation that occurred in the 1970s where human rights became a pie-fight between competing ideologies. The problem now is that there are no competing ideologies except international anarchy.
