Or because they actually thought this council was doing a good job? Personally I have no issue with us leaving it, though I do understand the 'image' argument for staying in.

Because this very same council has members like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Qatar, and Venezuela on it. Its a joke, like much of the U.N. anymore when it concerns human rights violations.

For example back in 2016, there were 20 resolutions drawn up against Israel, 20. The combined amount for the rest of the world was 6, with 3 against Syria. lul.  The amount of bias against Israel is very real. It doesnt mean Israel could have behaved a bit better at times, but with that many resolutions against them one would think they are the worst of the worst in the world.

I think many are mad because Trump did it. Qatar nor Venezuela should be used in the same sentence as human rights council.

WTS, outside of this forum I have seen nothing on this action.
