Israel is suspending ties with the United Nations Human Rights Council, because they are being called into question. The UN would like to establish a "Fact Finding Mission on the Influence of Settlements on Palestinians," which the Israeli government will not tolerate...and why? Do they have something to hide? Will the fact-finding mission sway US opinion, thus diverting funds from the Occupation?
When Iran, Iraq, and other nations did not allow fact finding missions into their countries, war would soon follow. Many people--Israeli and otherwise, Jewish and non-Jewish--have written tomes' worth of articles about illegal settlements in the Occupied Territories, the destruction of Palestinian farmland, and the eviction of Palestinians from East Jerusalem to make room for Israelis. This has been going on for years, is not a secret, and is not a lie.
If justice has a universal definition, then the Chosen People must also see that they are not above the Law.
