And now a thread: the story of the U.N.'s treatment of Israel, told through statistics.

1. From 2012 through 2015, the U.N. General Assembly adopted 97 resolutions criticizing countries; 83 of those 97 were against Israel, or 86%.

2. From its creation in June 2006 through June 2016, the U.N. Human Rights Council—which stands for equality, objectivity & impartiality—adopted 68 resolutions on Israel and 67 resolutions on the rest of the world combined.
3. Each year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization @UNESCO adopts some 10 resolutions a year criticizing only #Israel. UNESCO almost never criticizes any other UN member state in a country-specific resolution. unwatch.org/unesco-attacks…
4. @WHO's annual conf addresses #global health issues, with 1 exception: a resolution on “Health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan,” which singles out Israel for condemnation. No other nation is censured.

UNRWA foreign staff flee Gaza to Israel after Hamas allows protests, death threats. Yet not 1 word criticizing Hamas from @UNRWA, its chief @PKraehenbuehl, spokespersons @ChrisGunness & @Fernande_VT or Gaza chief @matzschmale. But they attack Israel daily. haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
These international UNRWA managers knowingly employ teachers who praise Hitler & preach anti-Semitism & terrorism. I sent @matzschmale our info & he denied everything. Now they are literally running to Israel—from their own Gaza employees—to save their own lives. EU funds this.

• EU & its member states fund UNRWA but won't say if they demanded UNRWA fire any of these racists

BREAKING: After Jeremy Corbyn refuses four times on Channel 4 interview to answer whether he regrets taking money from the Iranian TV station that aired filmmaker Maziar Bahari’s forced confessions under torture, Bahari calls on Corbyn to finally confront his past and apologize.
Bahari, whose labor activist father suffered years in the Shah’s jails, wonders why Labor’s Corbyn is close to Iran’s Islamic regime, “one of the most anti-union governments in the world. Unions are almost outlawed and union activists are regularly arrested and tortured in Iran.”
Bahari, who supports many policies of the Labour Party, says it “should keep a distance from the Iranian government and its propaganda channels.”

.@UN_HRC Why did you invite discredited William Schabas to address the UN when on grounds of conflict of interest in 2015 he was ignominiously forced to resign from your Gaza inquiry after it was revealed he had failed to disclose his paid legal work for the PLO?

#HRC39 #ethics
In his pathetic resignation letter, Schabas explained that he never bothered to disclose his paid legal work for the PLO because....no one ever asked him. "I was not requested to detail my past activities concerning Palestine..."
To his credit, UNHRC President Joachim Ruecker established the principle that UN appointees should avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Only after Amb. Ruecker formally requested a legal opinion from UN Headquarters in New York did Schabas resign.

I'm here @UN European Headquarters in Geneva hosting Russian democracy dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza as he addresses the press corps after his powerful testimony before the Human Rights Council for the freedom of political prisoner Alexei Pichugin. unwatch.org/russian-democr…
"My name is Vladimir Kara-Murza, I am a Russian democracy activist, and I am honored to address the United Nations Human Rights Council on behalf of UN Watch."
"Last month marked 15 years since the arrest of Alexei Pichugin, an executive at Russia’s Yukos oil company. His arrest launched the campaign by Vladimir Putin’s government against Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky who dared to speak out against corruption & support civil society."

We're about to release a 60-page report documenting 10 years of staggering, system-wide @UN inaction on antisemitism. This oped ignores that. It rightly praises @AntonioGuterres for deleting a biased report, yet shortchanges @NikkiHaley who made him do it. wsj.com/articles/a-rig…
We are not told, for example, about how CERD, the UN treaty body on racism, has never once addressed the virulent and murderous incitement to antisemitism rampant in Arab and Muslim countries.
When this body of UN racism experts reviewed France, Germany, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Sweden & Turkey, they rarely if ever addressed the scourge of antisemitism, including deadly attacks against Jewish schools and synagogues.
