GENEVA, Nov. 15, 2018 – A United Nations General Assembly committee is set to adopt nine resolutions against Israel tomorrow, and zero on the entire rest of the world. unwatch.org/un-condemn-isr…
The texts condemn Israel for “repressive measures” against Syrian citizens in the Golan, reinforce the mandate of @UNRWA, & renew the mandate of the “special committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people..."unwatch.org/2018-un-fourth…
All 193 UN member states belong to the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) that each year adopts the text with large majorities. Countries’ votes tomorrow are then repeated when the GA plenary formally ratifies the texts in December.

So, I wrote an article about the horrific #Ofra terror attack in #Israel, incl. PA culpability & int'l community's complicity.

Regrettably, no mainstream EU / US publication was interested. Maybe Jewish lives don't really matter for them?

So, here's my article in #THREAD form:
1. As Israelis, we are a resilient people, and have regrettably experienced more than our fair share of horrific terror attacks. But what happened in the community of Ofra last Sunday 9th December, truly shook us to the core.
2. Following the last night of Chanukah celebrations, one of the most joyous Jewish holidays, a group of Israelis were waiting at a bus station, when Palestinian terrorists drove by in a car and opened fire in a hail of bullets.

#Israel strongly believes that #Iran is staging weapons system in #Syria in places like Aleppo, T4 in E Homs & even Boukamal, and that such weapons are intended for use against Israel & not for purposes of supporting Syrian Army against ISIS or insurgents. Is Israel wrong? =>
2-Interestingly, as the risks of a wider conflict pitting Israel & Iran seem to gather steam in policy circles, the facts on the grounds concerning Iran's presence in Syria have been heading the other direction of late. Set below are the reasons why: ==>
3-It was always the case that the presence of Iran in Syria was positively correlated with the intensity of the war and the probability of Assad's fall from power. As the latter risks have diminished, one ought to expect a similar retracement in Iran's influence & presence ==>

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory

1. Israel pulls out of UNESCO.
Why?
Because it demonizes the Jewish state, elevates murderous regimes, betrays mission to protect education, science, culture.

2. When France & Sweden falsely & obscenely voted @UNESCO to accuse Israel of 'planting Jewish fake graves' in Jerusalem, they helped destroy the agency.
3. Betraying its mission to protect world heritage and culture, UNESCO repeatedly denies the ancient Jewish & Christian heritage and culture of holy cities Jerusalem and Hebron—which was this year declared a "World Heritage site of Palestine." whc.unesco.org/en/statesparti…

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%.
Source: unwatch.org/un-israel-key-…
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…
