Actress Patricia Heaton summed up the feelings of many critics at the clip, simply writing "wut." Others likened it to the comedy "Team America" where UN official Hans Blix demands Kim Jong-il allow a search for WMD or else "we will be very angry with you."foxnews.com/media/critics-…

Italy right pulled out of Durban III.

"We asked for the text to recognize that past references to the situation of the Middle East are not part of the international commitment against racial discrimination. However, this was not accepted..."

Italy should pull out of Durban IV.
🇮🇹 Foreign Minister of Italy, 2011: "For some time now we have had some reserves over the exercise known in the UN sphere as the “Durban Process”, because over the years it has been instrumentalized in political terms."

"The Process has been transformed from a forum for debate on and coordination of international action against racism, discrimination and xenophobia, into a tribunal for accusations against Israel."

Ben and Jerry's boasts it is both profitable and ethical.

Now the head of their board, social justice activist Anuradha Mittal @Mittaloak, is accused of doling out tens of thousands in cash from B&J's foundation to fund her own pro-Palestinian non-profit.nypost.com/2021/08/28/hea…
Ms. Mittal is Chair of the @benandjerrys Board & VP of its non-profit foundation which doled out more than $100,000 to the Oakland Institute, a progressive think tank where Mittal happens to be director & only salaried employee, paid a combined $156,000 in salary in 2017 & 2018.
Part of the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation cash went to finance the Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights.

Last year, the European Union pulled $2 million of funding from Badil after it refused to sign an “anti-terror” clause in its funding contract.

BREAKING: The UN Human Rights Council session on Afghanistan just adopted one of the most watered-down resolutions in its history. Text fails to document Taliban atrocities; fails to condemn the Taliban; fails to create a commission of inquiry. Credibility of UNHRC is at zero.
Better to have had no UN session at all than this gross dereliction of duty & green light of impunity for the Taliban.

The text was adopted by consensus. We regret the EU declined to call a vote. It did make a strong statement: "We have explained at length why we believe that..
"...there is an urgent need to set up an independent mechanism to investigate all violations and abuses by the Taliban and all other parties to the conflict to promote accountability and to monitor the human rights situation on the ground."

SHAME: UNHRC now holding special session on #Afghanistan, but plans to do almost nothing. The resolution—drafted by Pakistan—fails to mention let alone condemn Taliban abuses. The word "Taliban" does not appear. Nor is there any commission of inquiry to investigate their crimes.
Addressing the UNHRC, @AfghanistanIHRC Chair @ShaharzadAkbar called Pakistan's draft a "travesty."

"Afghan activists on the ground, my colleagues who face direct threats to their lives & the lives of their families, demand better. To be frank with you, you are failing them." Image
.@ShaharzadAkbar "Madame President, The draft resolution tabled today is a travesty. We have documented that the Taliban advances came with summary executions, disappearances, restrictions on women, media & cultural life. This is not ancient history. This is earlier this month... Image

In #Afghanistan millions live in fear of the Taliban terrorists who have taken over the country.

Here in Geneva, the #UNHRC meets shortly on Afghanistan to adopt one of its weakest-ever resolutions.

Better to scrap the session than send message of appeasement to the #Taliban. Image
The United Nations was founded to prevent war. For years we appealed to the Council to hold an urgent session on the war in Afghanistan. Image
Yet even as 241,000 people were killed, including 71,000 civilians, this UN Human Rights Council refused to hold a single session to try and help Afghanistan’s victims.

Not a single commission of inquiry to hold terrorists and their state sponsors to account.

No joke: the medieval Taliban terrorists who blew up the colossal 1500-year-old Buddha statues of Bamiyan are poised to inherit membership on UNESCO, the UN agency charged with safeguarding world heritage.

And on the UN organ that oversees women's rights.
unwatch.org/taliban-blew-u…
🇦🇫 Afghanistan sits on UNESCO’s Executive Board, overseeing education, world heritage & counter-extremism. And it's a 2022-24 member of ECOSOC, the main UN organ that accredits human rights groups, oversees the Commission on the Status of Women, UN Women Executive Board & UNICEF.
We call on the US, the EU & and all UN member states to deny the Taliban credentials for Afghanistan's UNESCO & ECOSOC seats.

Allowing a misogynistic, murderous band of terrorists to influence these world bodies would be absurd, immoral and obscene.
