Reuters forgot to say: 1 of the UN “experts” is a nutcase who was condemned for antisemitism by the EU, Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, US, Netherlands, Australia, Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Brazil, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & even the UNHRC Chair. 🧵
2/ Miloon Kothari, one of the three commissioners behind this report, famously declared in 2022 that “social media is controlled largely by the Jewish lobby.”

He became the first UN investigator to be condemned for antisemitism. Yet his inquiry Chair, Navi Pillay, defended him.
3/ 🇨🇦 “A Commission of Inquiry is different from a never ending Inquisition. Blatantly biased anti-semitic comments are completely unworthy of the UN, its Human Rights Commission, and are a disgrace to institutions supposedly dedicated to the rule of law.”

UN-REAL: Meet the newest members of the UN's Economic and Social Council.

This top UN body oversees key human rights & women’s rights commissions.

Electing human rights abusers Russia, China, Turkey & Burundi to the council is like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank. Image
2/ These oppressive regimes were elected in a secret ballot at the UN General Assembly, receiving the following % of possible votes:

🇷🇺 Russia: 61%
🇹🇷 Turkey: 92%
🇨🇳 China: 95%
🇹🇩 Chad: 96%
🇧🇮 Burundi: 97%

And here’s the kicker—Western democracies helped make this happen 👇
3/ The vote was secret, but we can determine that many of the EU’s 28 members voted for the abusers.

According to the math, at least 19 🇪🇺 states voted for Xi Jinping’s oppressive regime, which has a million Uighur Muslims locked up in camps.

The UN has spent billions on @UNIFIL_ , its flagship peacekeeping force in Lebanon.

But UNIFIL has a long track record of failing to keep the peace.

On International Day of UN Peacekeepers, let’s assess the true cost of UNIFIL’s litany of failures: 🧵 Image
2/ UNIFIL was established in 1978, but after the 2006 war between Israel and the Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon, the UN Security Council strengthened UNIFIL’s mandate.

UNIFIL was entrusted with overseeing Hezbollah’s disarmament & withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Image
3/ Instead, the opposite happened.

Hezbollah—with the help of its Iranian patrons—methodically built up a massive network of tunnels, arms & attack infrastructure inside UNIFIL’s area of responsibility in southern Lebanon.

“UN Watch is one the world’s most important NGOs. It has a David and Goliath mission: to hold the UN accountable. Neuer is watching. A man with a formidable intellect. Purpose driven. Laser focused. He is the man every democratic nation is in debt to—whether they know it or not.” Image
2/ “Who’s watching the watcher? This question, this phrase, born of the 1st century Roman poet Juvenal, was the first thing that came to my mind when I found out Hillel Neuer was coming to Australia. The second thought was: This is a conversation I must have.”
@GemmaTognini
@GemmaTognini 3/ “Neuer is executive director of the Geneva-based UN Watch. Founded more than 30 years ago, UN Watch is one the world’s most important non-government organisations in a geopolitical sense.”

“𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗛𝗜𝗗𝗘”: A bombshell new UN Watch report exposes how the UN and Francesca Albanese engaged in a cover-up to conceal her funding by pro-Hamas lobby groups.

Here are the highlights of the report: 🧵 Image
2/ In November 2023, Albanese toured Australia and New Zealand on a trip sponsored by pro-Hamas lobby groups, including Sinwar sympathizers like @AFOPA_Australia.

This violated UN rules forbidding officials from accepting payment for mandate-related activities. Image
3/ From the moment UN Watch first raised allegations of financial misconduct, Albanese denied the allegations and insisted that the UN paid for her trip. Image

Silence.
Neglect.
Complicity.

This is not what you’d expect from the world’s largest humanitarian organization.

But on International Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, we look at the scandals that they would rather ignore: Image
2/ The Red Cross has failed the hostages in Hamas captivity:

- The Red Cross hasn’t visited a single hostage in Gaza
- Red Cross officials were complicit in Hamas's humiliating hostage handovers
- Hostage families were equated with those of convicted Palestinian prisoners Image
3/ The Red Cross appointed former UNRWA head, Pierre Krähenbühl, as its new Director General—despite knowing that he was forced to quit UNRWA after:

- A damning internal ethics report
- An abuse of power & corruption scandal
- A reported affair with a staffer on world trips Image
