No joke: Agnes Callamard, the new head of Amnesty International, once declared that Arafat was murdered, the Israelis did it, and President Shimon Peres admitted this. All lies.

Note: Callamard was the U.N. Human Rights Council's “expert“ on assassinations. Not making this up.
On the contrary, the NYT interview which she cited says that Peres protected Arafat, and justified his peace negotiations with him. nytimes.com/2013/01/13/mag…

Arafat died at age 75, in a French military hospital near Paris. A French inquiry found no evidence that he was “murdered.“
Moments after mass murderer Qassem Soleimani was killed while plotting attacks in Iraq, @AgnesCallamard tweetstormed that the U.S. airstrike “violates international human rights law.” She then turned this into a major UNHRC report—which was adored by Iran. unwatch.org/top-un-human-r…
Founded in 1961, Amnesty built a reputation for supporting prisoners of conscience. While some in the global organization still do good work, Amnesty has lost direction, often supporting antisemites, misogynists, homophobes & terrorists.

.@GWR Do you have a Guinness World Record for United Nations interruptions?

I've been interrupted at the U.N. by Russia, China, Syria, Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, the PLO, Egypt, Bangladesh, Bolivia and Nicaragua. Just to name a few.

At the U.N. in 2016, Venezuela, Cuba, China, Russia, and Pakistan tried to silence me: unwatch.org/9479-2/
At the U.N.'s Durban II racism conference in 2009, Iran tried to silence me:

UNHRC just adopted resolution on “Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.“

•19 pars criticize Israel
•1 criticizes rockets on Israel, but doesn't name Hamas
•No mention of Hamas & PA oppression

Shame on France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands for joining the jackals.
Shame on Denmark, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Korea, Uruguay for incentivizing Hamas terror.

Disappointed UK didn't have courage to vote No.

Notable: India shifts from Yes last year to Abstain. Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Togo shift to No.

The UN doesn't want you to know this: In 2007, Canada tried to oppose the UNHRC's adoption of a package that removed Belarus & Cuba from a blacklist—while subjecting Israel to permanent indictment. The UNHRC declared a "consensus" despite Canada's protest.
The UNHRC refused to let Canada vote on the package. The video above from the 19 June 2007 debate shows Canada's principled objection and the strictly procedural vote that effectively—and fictitiously—declared the agreement to have been won by "consensus."

This is the tainted and illegitimate origin of the UNHRC's Agenda Item 7 singling out Israel, and of the council's entire constitutional framework, known as the Institution-Building Package (A/HRC/RES/5/1).

See how the UN rewrote history in this timeline: unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

“Thank you, Madam President. My name is @YosephHaddad and I'm an Israeli Arab. Accusations have been made that Israel's coronavirus vaccine program is ‘racist.’

This is false. Like me, my family, friends and hundreds of thousands of other Israeli Arabs have been vaccinated.“
"The State of Israel is running campaigns in Arabic to encourage us Arab Israelis to get vaccinated, and Israel’s National EMS Magen David Adom, composed of Jews and Arabs, is working directly in Arab communities to vaccinate."
"And about our Palestinian neighbors. Despite that we are not obligated under the Oslo Accords, we help. Israel, not the Palestinian Authority, has vaccinated thousands of Palestinians..."

On this day 21 years ago, March 16, 2000, the world lost Morris B. Abram, a U.S. civil rights leader, drafter of the UN convention against racial discrimination, and founder of UN Watch.

A genuine anti-racist, he fought bigots, dictators and antisemites.

unwatch.org/founder-morris…
Morris Berthold Abram was a pioneer of the U.S. civil rights movement, serving as an attorney in crucial cases for the equality rights of African Americans, and a key drafter of the United Nations convention against racial discrimination.
He also became a champion of victims of human rights persecution across the globe over the course of a career of advocacy that lasted over five decades.
