UN: "We were unable to stop the genocide in Palestine, but at least we get to jerk ourselves off with an award ceremony."

Israel/US: "We're moving to sanction the award ceremony and assassinate anyone catch jerking off."

Of course the Israeli government is foaming at the mouth about Navi Pillay. Her job is to prosecute war crimes. She headed a study that accused the IDF of massive war crimes in Gaza.

And the US government is also not happy about her, as she had been a judge at the ICC before that.
