The United States, Israel's close ally, withdrew from the council on Tuesday.

The Israeli move drew disapproval from a U.N. rights expert, although Israel is not one of the council's 47 voting members and did not always attend meetings.

Supremacist indoctrination involves dehumanising their targets. You'll see them call their targets subhuman/animal, etc in public discourse.

So to them, there are no human rights violations. You need to view their perspective from the supremacist viewpoint to see why they fight against what's common sense to any regular person. They legitimately see themselves as righting some kind of wrong where "inferior" people are infringing upon them.
