History will record that Iran's misogynistic Ayatollah Khamenei regime got to rejoin the U.N. Women's Rights Commission thanks to the myopic moral relativism of Western so-called feminists like Swedish ex-foreign minister @margotwallstrom who publicly justified this obscenity.
#NoJoke@margotwallstrom: "In the Commission of the Status of Women, there is also Russia, Belarus, Iran, Pakistan. And if we would have as a criteria that they have an ambitious policy when it comes to women’s rights, very few countries would actually take place there." /1
"If there is one place where they ought to be—to learn something about women—it is in the Commission on the Status of Women." /2
"If it was about the policies they have at home, maybe only Finland & Sweden would be left in the Commission of the Status of Women. I don’t think it would be a good idea." /3
Yes @margotwallstrom, but who said you need to elect the world's most misogynistic regimes like Iran's?
Wallstrom's statement came in May 2017 in response to our protest against the election of Saudi Arabia: unwatch.org/swedish-covera…
The more you subjugate, segregate and oppress women, the more feminist Swedish foreign ministers want you on the U.N.'s Women's Rights Commission.

In which UNRWA teachers like 28-year-old Ahmed actually complain about how they can no longer express themselves on social media in support of Hamas terrorist attacks against Jews, due to pressure on the agency brought on by the reporting of UN Watch. electronicintifada.net/content/unrwa-…
"'I used to express my support for the Palestinian resistance through Facebook, especially during the previous three Israeli attacks on Gaza.'
After his employment with UNRWA began, however, Ahmed said he was effectively silenced."
"So intense has the oversight become that he is thinking about deleting all his social media accounts in case he simply can’t restrain himself in the future."
No, madam, I most definitely will not follow you. Your group lost all respect when I heard from my friend the late Bob Bernstein, legendary founder of Human Rights Watch, how your executive director, Pablo Christiani 2.0, turned HRW into a fig leaf for genocidal antisemites.
Having said that, if you're trying to contact me to report on malfeasance and moral corruption by Human Rights Watch and its leader Ken Roth, or for anything else, please do feel free to write me here: civicrm.unwatch.org/contact_us

Today we remember the fate of 850,000 Jewish refugees forced out of Arab countries and Iran in the 20th century. Communities dating back 2500 years were destroyed.
At the UN, I asked Algeria, Egypt, Iraq & the others: “Where are your Jews?”
Full Video:
On this day 74 years ago, Nov. 30, 1947—a day after the UN voted to partition Palestine into Arab and Jewish states—Syria incited mobs in Aleppo. Rioters burned 50 Jewish shops, 5 schools, 18 synagogues, the community’s orphanage, a youth club & 150 homes. timesofisrael.com/a-different-hi…
In Aden, now part of Yemen, local Arabs slaughtered or burned to death 87 Jews, including children, women & the elderly; dozens more were seriously injured; the 2 Jewish schools, several synagogues & many homes were destroyed; every Jewish shop was looted. timesofisrael.com/murder-looting…
On this day in 1947, the United Nations voted to partition Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. The Jews danced in the streets. The Arabs rejected it, declared a war of extermination against the Jewish population, and lost.
Here's how the U.N. in Geneva today marked this date:
Arab League: “The Israeli government is an intransigent, racist government that does not believe in the two-state solution or in the right to self-determination. Their main program is expanding settlements, Judaization, and the repression of Palestinians.” media.un.org/en/asset/k1j/k…
.@OICatUN: “We celebrate Palestinian Solidarity Day in midst of continued practices of Israel, the occupying power, to perpetuate colonial occupation of the Palestinian land through aggression, forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, settlement, Judaization, land confiscation...”
