An Emotional Appeal to an Insensitive Audience

This is a speech by Hillel Neuer, a member of the organization called United Nations Watch. He delived this speech on March 23, 2007 to the United Nations Human Rights Council, addressing the successes, or rather, failures of the council.
Neuer starts by drawing in his audience with a reminder of the historical events that led up the creation of this council which creates a way for the listeners to relate to his words. However, Neuer then immediately alienates his audience by attacking the efforts of the council as he sets up what he will talk about. Neuer then argues that the UN Human Rights Council has continuously worked to "condemn" Israel and protect Palestine by supporting the desires of Middle Eastern countries. This means that 191 countries are being ignored because of this focus, according to the speaker. At the same time, he states that the council actually does nothing to prevent human rights abuses on either side. Neither side steps in when 130 Palestinians are killed by their own people, despite preset conditions making this a valid reason to take action. He uses powerful words like "rapists" and "butcherers" to emphasize the kinds of people that the UN is backing as defenders of Palestine, and uses the story of a boy and his brother who were murdered by a prime minister's troops. At this point, it's easy to confirm that Neuer's inteded audience isn't neccesarily the UN council, but rather the public. He refers to the leaders of the council as "despots" and accuses them of being liars and immoral. It's clear to see that Neuer is simply trying to point out the failures and and shortcomings of the council, but attacks them instead.
For a non-member of this council, Neuer does a great job of rallying the public against the UN council, which can be seen on the message boards on youtube.com where this video is posted. The atrocities he points out are disturbing to regular listeners and evoke a strong sense of sympathy. On the other hand, his present audience is insulted and unlikely to heed any of the accusations Neuer lays forth. In fact, the president of the council immediately dismisses the speech and says he will not tolerate similar statements where disprespect and improper conduct is displayed. If Neuer was trying to arose emotions in the public, then he was successful, but if he was attempting to get his physical audience to change their ways, then he certainly failed.
