“UN Watch is deeply grateful to Senator Linda Frum for her outstanding 12 years of public service as a parliamentarian devoted to championing not only the interests of the people of Ontario and Canada but also the universal causes of freedom, human rights and democracy...”
...for her moral clarity, conviction and integrity; for her leadership in combating antisemitism and anti-Israeli bigotry; and for her dedicated friendship and support for UN Watch’s mission to hold the United Nations accountable to the principles of its Charter."
Throughout her Senate career, Senator Frum has been an outspoken defender of human rights victims worldwide, standing up against dictatorial regimes from China to Cuba to Iran.
On the oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran, Senator Frum was a leading force in Canada’s Parliament supporting Iranian human rights defenders like Masih Alinejad, the dissident now living in New York who was nearly kidnapped by Iranian agents in a recent plot foiled by the FBI.
Likewise, Senator Frum has been a strong advocate of the need for Magnitsky Laws to sanction Iranian human rights abusers sheltering in Canada, and to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in its entirety as a terrorist entity.
At a time of ominous threats and attacks against Jews in North America and abroad, and as the aggressive Iranian regime escalates its targeting of Israelis through its terrorist proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, Senator Frum has been a courageous and essential voice...
...in calling out both the new and old forms of antisemitism. We are glad to know that Senator Frum will continue this important work, and her life of public service, through her role as Chair of the Board of the Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto.
Senator Frum has made her mark in the Senate, and should be very proud of her legacy. UN Watch looks forward to many more years of continued cooperation with Senator Frum in defending our common causes.”

.@TheCJN: “Canada is failing to uphold its values when it comes to racist and antisemitic teachers at UN-run schools for Palestinian children, which Ottawa helps fund. That’s the view of Hillel Neuer, the Montreal-born executive director of UN Watch.”
:thecjn.ca/un-watch-uncov…
In reply to the UN Watch report, the Canadian foreign ministry told The CJN:

“Canada is concerned by the allegations that certain employees of UNRWA posted comments on social media that appear to violate UN values, including the principle of neutrality.
“Canada and like-minded donor governments are engaging closely with UNRWA as it follows up on these allegations.

BREAKING: UNRWA, the UN agency that runs schools for Palestinians, has announced it is investigating 10 of its staffers after UN Watch exposed 100 teachers and school principals that praise Hitler and incite anti-Jewish hatred and terrorism on social media.unwatch.org/unrwa-announce…
UNRWA’s statement also suggested they may have penalized up to 40 more employees appearing on the list of UNRWA employees guilty of incitement, published in this week’s report by UN Watch, a Geneva-based human rights group that monitors the United Nations. unrwa.org/newsroom/offic…
The unprecedented speed of UNRWA’s response follows strong demands made by Israel’s Ambassador to the US & UN Gilad Erdan, who sent the UN and UNRWA harsh letters of complaint, calling on UNRWA to fire the perpetrators.

.@HillelNeuer dans @LeTemps: ”Lorsqu'en septembre 2005, Israël retirait l’entier de ses troupes et de ses civils de Gaza, il espérait la paix en retour. A la place, les villes israéliennes ont reçu des milliers de missiles tirés par le Hamas et le Jihad islamique.” Image
Les Israéliens qui préconisaient le retrait pensaient que cela susciterait au moins un soutien international si Israël était un jour attaqué.

Pourtant, comme le montrent les récents développements à la Cour pénale internationale, c’est le contraire qui se produit.
Les efforts d'Israël pour défendre ses citoyens contre des attaques meurtrières - rien qu'en mai, 4 300 missiles ont été tirés sur des Israéliens par des organisations terroristes palestiniennes - font maintenant l'objet d'une enquête pour crimes de guerre présumés.

How has the UN reacted to the harrowing uptick in antisemitism following last month's Israel-Hamas flare-up?

Thread from UN Watch New York Associate Hilary Miller's op-ed in @TheSpectator. ⬇️ spectator.us/topic/united-n…
António Guterres, the UN’s secretary-general, has described rising anti-Semitism as a ‘multi-headed monster’ of intolerance that’s creating a ‘tsunami of hatred’ across the world, and the UN proclaims ‘anti-racism’ as its defining ideology.
But the UN is failing to confront discrimination and violence against Jews — and at times even nurturing it.

UN Watch strongly condemns the UN's election of the Islamic Republic of Iran to its highest women's rights body.

Iran's regime crushes women with legal apartheid, and arrests & attacks women for not covering their hair.

We urge @USAmbUN to condemn.

unwatch.org/un-elects-iran…
GENEVA, April 21, 2021 — UN Watch broke the story that the UN has just elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, the "principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women."
UN Watch is calling on U.S. & EU states to condemn the decision.

“Electing the Islamic Republic of Iran to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch. “It’s absurd — and morally reprehensible.”

1/ "Who are "Palestine refugees?" Per @UNRWA—whose definition differs from what UNHCR @Refugees applies to the rest of the world—they're all descendants in perpetuity of 750,000 displaced in 1948. That's 5.7 million & growing—and includes 2 million who are Jordanian CITIZENS.
2/ While refugee numbers from all other post-WW2 conflicts were reduced due to integration in host countries or resettlement elsewhere consistent with UNHCR mandate & 1951 Refugee Convention, only Palestinian refugee numbers continue to rise year after year with no end in sight.
3/ More than 800,000 Jewish refugees were forced out of Arab lands in wake of Israel's creation. All were resettled in other countries, many of them in Israel, and are no longer refugees.
