Via JNS: UN Report Attacks Israel’s Supporters Worldwide The UN “Commission of Inquiry” has released its third report that launches an unprecedented attack on Israel and its defenders. The inquisitors make findings of “war crimes” and “grave breaches of international humanitarian law” by Israel only, and then appeal to accelerate international criminal prosecution. The report specifically names Palestinian (and Israeli) victims of alleged Israeli crimes but doesn’t name a single Israeli victim of a Palestinian crime. The report couldn’t locate a single Palestinian terrorist or terrorist organization. There are only Israelis guilty of wrongly labeling them as “terrorists.” The writer

Via Fox News: UN Report Targets 35 U.S. States over Laws Banning Anti-Israel Bias The UN Commission of Inquiry (COI) on Thursday issued a new report that attacked rights of U.S. states to pass legislation banning discrimination against Israel via boycotts and whitewashed the antisemitism of Palestinian political organizations, said Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan. “Yet again, the biased COI has released another sham report about Israel. This illegitimate committee, composed of three antisemites, is incapable of writing

Shockingly, the report includes only one mention of Hamas in a negative sense. But judged against the abundant evidence of Hamas malfeasance at the border last year, that single recognition is clear evidence of the report’s bias. Not only did Hamas fighters use civilians as human shields, and as propaganda during those showdowns at the border, the group did so repeatedly and deliberately. Of course, like most

The PA joined the trade development organization UNCTAD, the industrial development agency UNIDO, and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). U.S. legislation bars funding for UN agencies or affiliates that grant membership to the PA. “It has been the consistent position of the United States that efforts by the Palestinians to join international organizations are premature and counterproductive,” a U.S. official said.

The Jerusalem Post September 21, 2006 editorial described Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s appearance at the UN General Assembly as possibly the most “shameful moment in the checkered history of an organization supposedly dedicated to advancing international peace and security. The leader of Iran is a Holocaust denier who, not surprisingly, also denies Israel’s right to exist. It is unfortunate that the US, even if it felt compelled by its treaty obligations to allow Ahmadinejad to attend the UN session, did not also feel compelled to arrest him under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel Tuesday added his name to a small but high-powered international group of private citizens who are pushing to have Iran thrown out of the UN in response to Iran’s violations of the 1948 Convention to Prevent and Punish the Crime of Genocide. President Ahmadinejad will also be met with a large rally on September
