Bravo to @jaketapper for calling out Disney. Not only did it film “Mulan” in areas where 1 million Muslim Uighurs have been herded into camps but they thanked the Chinese regime entities who are doing it. “The big problem is Disney thanking people accused of committing genocide.”
When I spoke out at the U.N. Human Rights Council for 1 million Muslim Uighurs herded into camps by China, regime reps furiously banged on the table trying to shut me down.
Tomorrow the UNHRC opens again—and we won't let Beijing intimidate us into silence about their atrocities.
The Chinese regime delegate took the floor at the U.N. Human Rights Council this summer to lash out at my “ungrounded attacks” after I dared to call out Beijing’s new role on a 5-nation UNHRC panel that will select 17 human rights experts this year.
I asked the UNHRC: "We just heard from Pakistan—on behalf of 57 Islamic States—about Islamophobia. Yet if they truly care about Muslims, why have they failed to bring a single resolution for 1 million Muslims being detained in camps and persecuted for their religion by China?"
It's much worse: 50 U.N. Human Rights Council ambassadors PRAISED China for locking up 1 million Muslims:
🇵🇸 State of Palestine
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇰🇵 North Korea
🇿🇼 Zimbabwe
🇻🇪 Venezuela
🇨🇩 DR Congo
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇧🇮 Burundi

🇷🇺 Russia

🇸🇾 Syria
🇮🇷 Iran

Top U.S. legal experts conclude: “Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear weapons program is fully justified under international law.” By Lt. Col. (ret.) Geoffrey Corn, U.S. Army's former top law of war expert, and Orde Kittrie, State Department's former lead nuclear affairs attorney.
2/ Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear weapons program, which began early Friday, June 13, are lawful, contrary to the expressed views of various commentators and politicians, including Senator Bernie Sanders.
Several of these commentators have based their contention that Israel’s attack is illegal on their opinion that Israel was not responding to an “imminent” nuclear attack by Iran. But this argument overlooks a critical legal principle: When two countries are already in a state of armed conflict—in colloquial terms a war—there is no requirement to wait for “the next attack” to be imminent.
3/ Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear weapons program, including its ballistic missile capabilities, was legal because Iran and Israel were already engaged in an ongoing international armed conflict. Furthermore, even assuming for argument’s sake that this was not the case, the imminence test was met by the facts in place on June 12, fully justifying Israel’s invocation of the international legal right for a state to defend itself against an imminent unlawful armed attack.
Hey @GretaThunberg, as your selfie ship sails toward Gaza, I want to remind you that the UN itself has found that under international law, Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza, designed to stop Hamas from smuggling rockets and other weapons, is entirely legal. blog.unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…
2/ The UN's Palmer Report found that “Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza. The naval blockade was imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law.”
3/ “Although people are entitled to express their political views, the [2010] flotilla acted recklessly in attempting to breach the naval blockade. [T]here exist serious questions about the conduct, true nature and objectives of the flotilla organizers, particularly IHH. The actions of the flotilla needlessly carried the potential for escalation.”
UNRWA is in panic. They're frightened of getting replaced. Watch them do everything to kill the new 🇮🇱🇺🇸 humanitarian effort in Gaza. UNRWA is promoting the fantastic and grotesque lie that Israel & the U.S. hatched a plot to use aid to murder Gazans. Remember: UNRWA is Hamas. 🧵
L: Suhail al-Hindi, former head of 30,000 UNRWA employees' union — and member of the Hamas Political Bureau in Gaza.
R: Yahya Sinwar, fellow member of Hamas Politburo who masterminded the October 7th massacre.
Remember: UNRWA is Hamas.

2/ In most legal systems, the term “lawyer” is reserved for those who passed the bar exam and have been admitted to the bar.
Francesca Albanese never took a bar exam. She was never admitted to practice in any country.
Thus in any professional or legal sense she is not a lawyer.
3/ Despite never having taken a bar exam and never having been admitted to practice law in any country in the world, Francesca Albanse has repeatedly described herself as a “lawyer.”
Last May, she told Italian TV: “I'm a technical expert, I'm a lawyer.”
1/ On Sky News, I explained how the UN and global media spread a deadly lie: 14,000 babies were “about to die” in Gaza. A total lie. No basis. No fact-checking. Just the latest blood libel dressed up as a humanitarian message by a top UN official and broadcast around the world.
2/ The Total Lie started early. Ten days after the October 7th Hamas massacre, media headlines screamed “Israel bombs Gaza hospital, kills 500.” A total lie. It was Islamic Jihad. The blast hit a parking lot. But the lie was spread by the UN, Amnesty & Canadian FM Melanie Joly.
3/ Why do such lies flourish? Many in the world want it. Newsrooms rush to fill a reserved spot on their front pages for the headline “Israel kills innocents.” Their fact verification systems short circuit. The public rarely hears the corrections. Only the slander sticks.
