While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

ISIS Burns Christian Alive in Egypt
Original source
A Christian father and his son were brutally murdered Wednesday in Egypt's North Sinai region, an ISIS hot spot.
Saad Hana, 65, was shot multiple times while his son Medhat, 45, was abducted and burned alive, officials told the Associated Press. Both bodies were found behind a school in the provincial capital of El-Arish.
The murders come days after the terror group vowed to target the country's Christian minority, releasing a video saying that Egyptian Christians are their "favorite prey" and that "God gave orders to kill every infidel."
Roughly 11 percent of the Egyptian population is Christian, and they've increasingly come under attack by the terror group, which has traditionally targeted Egypt's security forces in the wake of the army overthrowing Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
