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?

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.Image
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…Image
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. Image
3/ See the evidence on terror ties of:
📍UNRWA chiefs Philippe Lazzarini & Pierre Krähenbühl
📍Lebanon reps Dorothee Klaus, Claudio Cordone, Matthias Schmale

Dear @Georgetown: You list Francesca Albanese as an “international lawyer.” Indeed she often calls herself that.

But she just confessed to never taking the exam, and having no license. 🔽

Please delete the misinformation. And remove this Hamas supporter from your university. Image
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.
