Navi Pillay's UN inquiry on Israel just released a report accusing Israel of “genocide.”

We asked legal expert Salo Aizenberg to take a look.

Turns out the report is a complete travesty. See his devastating rebuttal here: 🧵
@Aizenberg55unwatch.org/un-watch-rebut…
2/ @Aizenberg55: “The UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry’s report is fatally deficient: its reasoning is deeply flawed, its evidentiary base unreliable, and its methodology unsound.

It selectively misinterprets statements by Israeli leaders, accepts unverified Hamas casualty figures, disregards Hamas’s systematic use of human shields, relies on unverified media reports (such as by Al-Jazeera), and assumes that civilian deaths in Gaza are only the result of deliberate targeting by Israel.

Its omissions are equally striking. The report erases Hamas as an active belligerent; across its 72 pages, it never acknowledges that the IDF is engaged with a 30,000-strong fighting force that constructed a battlefield fortified with 500 kilometers of tunnels.

Such deficiencies strip the document of legal credibility and render it indistinguishable from propaganda dressed in legal language.”
3/ “Failure to prove dolus specialis: The specific intent to destroy a protected group is the central and extremely high bar in any genocide case. The Commission’s claim of genocidal intent fails on this threshold alone, relying on tortured parsing of statements, selective quotations, and conjecture rather than unambiguous evidence.”

NO JOKE: Amnesty International's researcher in Gaza got Hamas to arrest peace activist Rami Aman for the crime of organizing a video call for Gazans to meet Israelis.

Why, @AgnesCallamard @amnesty?

See exclusive new interview in full: unwatch.org/from-gazas-pri… x.com/UNWatch/status…
2/ On April 8, 2020, Amnesty International researcher Hind Khoudary, now an Al Jazeera “journalist,” called on Hamas to arrest Rami Aman for his peace initiatives.
unwatch.org/the-disappeara…
3/ “In 2020, we organized a big conference between 10 Gazans and 300 Israelis,” explains Aman. “We were talking about Coronavirus — not talking about one state or two states, or talking about negotiation. We were talking about how we can save each other.”

“And two days later, I found a post started from a journalist working with Amnesty called Hind Khoudary, asking Hamas and mentioning Hamas leaders on Facebook, to arrest me. And that happened just a day later.”

“This surprised me from the first time because when I checked Hind Khoudary’s profile I saw that she is working with Amnesty and she is a journalist and I know that she is a U.S. fellow.”

“So for me, how come Amnesty is calling for my arrest? How come a journalist asking the security to arrest me?”

🇺🇸 @MorganOrtagus tells UN: “Today’s resolution is yet another counterproductive gesture that only rewards Hamas, drags out the war, and undercuts the very diplomatic efforts to free the hostages and end the suffering in Gaza, which the New York Declaration claims to support.”
2/ The French-led resolution is “is yet another misguided and ill-timed publicity stunt that undermines serious diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. Make no mistake – this resolution is a gift to Hamas.”
3/ “It is likewise cynical, transparently driven by the domestic politics rather than a serious foreign policy agenda.”

BREAKING: The U.N. on October 8th is planning to elect by acclamation an official rep of the Islamic Regime of Iran to its U.N. Human Rights Council advisory committee.

We are calling on @antonioguterres, @volker_turk, and all member states to denounce and oppose this travesty. Image
2/ Electing any rep of the murderous IRGC regime to a UN human rights body is a travesty.

Here, it's even worse. Under UNHRC Res. 6/102, candidates must have high moral standing, Independence, and impartiality.

Afsaneh Nadipour is an enemy of human rights. Consider: 🧵 Image
3/ Iran's UNHRC candidate Afsaneh Nadipour is an enemy of women's rights. During the Woman, Life, Freedom protests, she defended the murderous regime. She said support for the courageous women protesters was “disingenuous and politically motivated.”

Oops: turns out key author of new IPC report claiming Gaza famine turns out to be a nutcase who backs the Houthis & Iran's regime
2/ 98% of his LinkedIn posts attack Israel & the West: linkedin.com/in/andrew-seal…

When the IAEA declared Iran in breach of non-proliferation duties, he posted this comment — and the joint statement of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela & Belarus.

BREAKING: U.S. just sanctioned ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan—for illegitimate actions targeting Israel. I knew her as UNHRC's ex-Chair: she censored me for exposing Hamas & UNRWA antisemitism, named Israel-haters to a UN inquiry, then plotted with them at the ICC. 🧵 Image
2/ When she chaired UN Human Rights Council sessions, Nazhat Khan trampled freedom of speech to appease the world's worst tyrannies. Here she is cutting me off after a few seconds—as demanded by Cuba & the PLO—after I tried to simply read out the names of tyrannies who spoke.
3/ Two years before October 7, when I warned that UNRWA teachers glorify Hitler & incite hatred of Jews, Khan cut me off. She said I made “derogatory, insulting & inflammatory remarks”—by quoting their own posts. “This amounts to personal attacks. The statement is out of order.”
