BREAKING: Ahead of a donors conference where UNRWA seeks to raise $800 million from Western states, today I called on @UNLazzarini—head of the agency that runs schools for Palestinians—to identify which teachers were suspended for antisemitism & terrorism.unwatch.org/ahead-of-donor…
UNRWA has reportedly suspended at least six of its employees after we exposed over 100 UNRWA educators and other employees who publicly propagate violence and antisemitism on social media, in breach of the agency’s proclaimed policy of “zero tolerance” for incitement.
"UNRWA's Adnan Abu Hasna told Al Jazeera they suspended a small number of employees and their monthly salaries pending an investigation into allegations against them of violating the principles of neutrality, incitement to violence and inciting hatred." aljazeera.net/news/humanrigh…
.@alaraby_ar: "A number of UNRWA employees are facing dismissal from their jobs, following a complaint filed by an organization supporting the Israeli occupation called “UN WATCH” under the pretext of incitement against Israel and abandoning neutrality." alaraby.co.uk/society/%D8%A5…

BRAVO: Record amount of countries at UNHRC vote No to resolution celebrating antisemitic 2001 Durban Conference.
🇬🇧 UK
🇫🇷 France
🇩🇪 Germany
🇳🇱 Netherlands
🇮🇹 Italy
🇨🇿 Czech
🇦🇹 Austria
🇵🇱 Poland
🇩🇰 Denmark
🇺🇦 Ukraine

UK led the vote. @BorisJohnson & @trussliz showed leadership. Image
Text of the resolution is here:
Correction: today's vote was not a record at the UNHRC in opposing a Durban resolution.

In 2006, for example, 13 countries voted No: ap.ohchr.org/documents/E/HR…

In 2015, 12 voted No (including Namibia which later said it made a mistake & meant to vote Yes): ap.ohchr.org/documents/dpag…

Dear UNHRC President @NazhatsKhan,

On Friday you cut me off while presenting a report on UNRWA teachers' systemic antisemitism. You read out a prepared statement accusing me of "inflammatory remarks" and ruled me out of order.

I urge you to apologize and rescind your ruling.
Otherwise, I will be calling on U.N. Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres to publicly declare:

1. That my quoting of antisemitic posts by UN teachers can in no way be characterized as "derogatory, insulting and inflammatory remarks" nor as "personal attacks."
2. That the highest human rights body of the United Nations has just sent a dangerous message to the world when, without any basis, you summarily and arbitrarily blocked me from presenting a report about systemic antisemitism incited daily by the teachers of UNRWA, a UN agency.

🚨 CENSORED: @UN_HRC just stopped me from calling out UNRWA teachers who glorify Hitler & incite antisemitism. Chair says I made "derogatory, insulting & inflammatory remarks"—by quoting their own Facebook posts. "This amounts to personal attacks. This statement is out of order."
UNHRC Chair Nazhat Khan is making up a rule that does not exist.

I have every right to quote the racist Facebook posts of UNRWA teachers—funded with hundreds of millions by US, Germany, EU, Canada—and to name them.

The UN itself published the info here: undocs.org/Home/Mobile?Fi…

Latest UNHRC drafts:

#Cuba, where there is no democracy, has a draft on "Promotion of a democratic order."

#China, which detains 1 million Muslims, has a draft on "Realizing a better life for everyone."

#Venezuela, a failed state, has a draft on "Enjoyment of human rights."
Venezuela, China and Sri Lanka: "Stresses the utmost importance to eradicate colonialism and address the negative impact of legacies of colonialism on the enjoyment of human rights."
Cuba: "Reiterates that democracy includes respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms and is a universal value based on the freely expressed will of people to determine their own political, economic, social and cultural systems and their full participation in all..."

BRAVO: 🇸🇪 Sweden pulled out of Durban IV.

@SweMFA: "Sweden is not participating in the UN meeting celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Durban Declaration and action plan. There is a long and politically charged history behind the Durban Conference and its follow-up meetings.
The previous conferences have inter alia been criticized for not adequately addressing the issue, that is, the fight against racism. They have also been criticized for having antisemitic elements and for directing disproportionate criticism of Israel.

ledarsidorna.se/2021/09/sverig…
Several countries therefore do not associate the Durban Conference with the fight against racism, and the process has been politicized. As a result, several countries have chosen not to participate at all in previous conferences, as in today's meeting.
