The @UN_HRC is fair and balanced.

Condemnations since it was founded:
0 🇨🇺 Cuba
0 🇸🇦 Saudi
0 🇨🇳 China
0 🇹🇷 Turkey
0 🏴‍☠️ Taliban
0 🇵🇰 Pakistan
0 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe
1 🇷🇺 Russia
2 🇻🇪 Venezuela
10 🇪🇷 Eritrea
12 🇮🇷 Iran
13 🇧🇾 Belarus
15 🇰🇵 North Korea
26 🇲🇲 Myanmar
37 🇸🇾 Syria
99 🇮🇱 Israel

Bravo to the UNHRC's Pillay Commission for “ensuring the inclusion of a diverse range of perspectives in its consultations” by meeting with Palestinian organizations that are dedicated to condemning Israel, as well as Israeli organizations that are dedicated to condemning Israel.

The U.N. Human Rights Council's #HRC50 opens Monday.
Members include:
🇵🇰 Pakistan—death penalty for 'blasphemers'
🇲🇷 Mauritania—has 500,000 slaves
🇸🇴 Somalia—death penalty for gays
🇨🇳 China—1M Uyghurs in camps
🇻🇪 Venezuela—Maduro tyranny
🇶🇦 Qatar—enslaves migrants
🇱🇾 Libya—same⬆️

U.N. Pillay Commission on Palestinian-Israeli conflict concedes their report is “overwhelmingly directed towards Israel” — but says this merely reflects prior U.N. findings, and is due to “the asymmetrical nature of the conflict and the reality of one State occupying the other.”

The Pillay Report refers 14 times to the infamous Goldstone Report (HRC/12/48) even though Goldstone himself disavowed its key charges in the Washington Post, and though its chief author was exposed to be Gaza Flotilla spokeswoman Grietje Baars. @GrietjeBa unwatch.org/un-hired-anti-…

So in 14 different places, the Pillay Report relies on the authority of ex-Gaza Flotilla spokeswoman @GrietjeBa, author of “Queer Cases Unmake Gendered Law, Or, Fucking Law’s Gendering Function,” who self-describes as “always antifascist, antiracist, anti-trans/homo/whorephobic.”
