Hamas in Gaza just fired rockets at Israeli cities of Ashdod & Ashkelon, injuring a 62-year-old man in the torso & a 28-year-old man in the limbs.

Peace accords were just signed between Israel & two Arab states.

UN rights chief @mbachelet ignores all the above, attacks Israel.
I took the floor at the United Nations:

Madam President,

We meet on a historic day. For the past century, the Middle East has been the scene of war, bloodshed, enmity and suffering.

In the Arab-Israeli conflict, hostilities included deadly wars in 1948, ‘56, ‘73, and ‘82...
as well as other deadly wars of attrition and terror. In Israel and Arab countries, an estimated 230,000 men, women and children were injured or lost their lives.

Worldwide, the conflict sparked fears of a clash between the nuclear-armed superpowers, while the Arab Oil Embargo..
of 1973 shocked the global economy, quadrupled the price of oil, and triggered a worldwide energy crisis. Those applying this embargo included Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

Madam President,

Today is a historic day. In the 20th century, a total of two peace accords...
were achieved between Israel and Arab states — Egypt in 1979, and Jordan in 1994.

Yet today, in one day, that number will double. Only moments from now, on the White House Lawn, both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain will sign peace agreements with Israel.
The three countries have already begun speaking of a new era — of peace, normalization, mutual cooperation, trade, tourism, prosperity and hope.

The peace agreements have been welcomed by countries around the globe, including Egypt, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, which itself...
announced that it will allow overflight rights to planes flying to and from Israel.

Today is indeed a day of hope.

But I am confused.

If the United Nations and this Human Rights Council truly care about human rights and peace, why did the United Nations Human Rights Chief...
just speak here, making numerous references to the Middle East, yet without mentioning once this historic moment of peace and hope?

Why, instead, did she only point the finger of blame at one side — at Israel?
Why did she not mention the peace agreements being signed today in Washington?

Does this Human Rights Council truly want peace and human rights for everyone?

Why does the Agenda of the council single out only one state, Israel?
Why are half the condemnatory resolutions of this council targeting only one state, Israel?

Why does this council's expert on the Palestinian territories examine only Israel's actions, while turning a blind eye to the abuses of Hamas and Islamic Jihad?
On this historic day, when Arab countries and Israel come together in peace, the question before the United Nations is a crucial question: Do they truly want peace, do they truly want human rights?

BREAKING: John Cleese renounces “the mob who have taken over Amnesty.” The iconic British comedian initiated and produced Amnesty International's landmark comedy benefit series, and for decades supported Amnesty as a fundraiser and public advocate. Proof they've lost the plot: 🧵
2/ JK Rowling’s support center for female sexual assault victims has been labelled an “anti-rights” group by Amnesty International UK.

The Harry Potter author founded the center to provide trauma-informed support to women survivors of sexual abuse.
heraldscotland.com/news/26268863.…
3/ Founded in 1961, Amnesty originally built a reputation for supporting prisoners of conscience. Today, some members still do good work. But sadly, the leadership primarily supports antisemites, misogynists, homophobes and terrorists. Let's take a look:

What the U.N., Amnesty & Senator Van Hollen forgot to tell you:
• Hussam Abu Safiya is a Hamas officer
• Supreme Court of Israel heard and rejected his appeal, ruling he can be held under the Law for Unlawful Combatants
Source: timesofisrael.com/supreme-court-…
x.com/ChrisVanHollen… x.com/ChrisVanHollen…Image
2/ “Abu Safiya holds the rank of colonel in Hamas. He was arrested on suspicion of terrorism. Kamal Adwan Hospital was used as a command and control center by Hamas. In the raid, the IDF arrested 15 of whom participants in the October 7 Hamas massacre.”
ynetnews.com/article/hkcngj…
3/ “Additional evidence of Hamas activity at the hospital comes from a Kurdish doctor who volunteered there in the spring. After leaving Gaza, the doctor released a video describing his interactions with Hamas operatives actively operating within the hospital.
In December 2023, Israel arrested and interrogated the previous director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. During his interrogation, he admitted that the facility was used by Hamas for storing weapons and housing personnel involved in actions against Israel.”

L: UNESCO chief @AAzoulay condemns killing of “journalist Mohammed Abu Armana.”

R: Hamas posts Mujahid Martyr video of “Platoon Commander” Mohammed Abu Armana. “If you are watching this, it means I passed into the mercy of Allah. To the al-Qassam Brigades: By Allah, we will not betray this blood.”Image
2/ @AAzoulay You owe the public an independent investigation into how UNESCO became a conduit for Hamas disinformation. Who supplied this claim? What verification was done? How many Hamas operatives have been falsely memorialized as journalists?
unesco.org/en/articles/un…
@AAzoulay 3/ Before UNESCO tries to delete the records of its role in spreading the “Israel is murdering journalists” hoax, and helping to fuel hatred and violence against Jews worldwide, we have archived it here for their eternal shame: archive.md/90DVRImage

The U.N. is now attempting to redefine antisemitism out of existence.

Through its most famous appointed expert, the U.N. is erasing the term's meaning as hatred of Jews.

U.N. member states—UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Canada, Australia—must condemn this disgraceful distortion.
2/ “Among Arabs and their supporters, it is sometimes said that Arabs cannot be anti-Semites since they themselves are Semites. This statement is meaningless. Anti-Semitism has never been concerned with anyone but Jews, and there is in any case no such thing as a Semite. Like the Aryan, he is a myth, and part of the same mythology.”
— Bernard Lewis
nybooks.com/articles/1986/…
3/ “A common answer, given by or on behalf of Arabs, is that they cannot be anti-Semitic, since they themselves are Semites. The logic of this would seem to be that while an edition of Hitler's Mein Kampf published in Berlin or in Buenos Aires in German or Spanish is anti-Semitic, an Arabic version of the same text published in Cairo or Beirut cannot be anti-Semitic, because Arabic and Hebrew are cognate languages.”
