This is the silver lining. The U.S. & the West will never be seen the same again. They have been exposed as moral hypocrites and racists. The things that many of us always knew.
At the UN Human Rights Committee, a huge number of the participants turned their backs on US Ambassador Michelle Taylor in protest against Israel's bombing of Gaza. The shadow of Palestine looms over them.
