A global coalition of more than 25 organizations just released a report outlining why a “United Nations probe against Israel is completely lacking in impartiality or any legal basis,” and called for its chair, anti-Israel Navi Pillay, to recuse herself.
Breitbart Pillay (pictured) was appointed in July by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to head the Commission of Inquiry (COI) into alleged Israeli human rights abuses. The commissions creation, which is the highest level of any U.N. rights investiagtion, came in the wake of the 11-day conflict with Hamas in May 2021.
Tuesday’s report, led by the International Legal Forum (ILF) and titled Fixed Inquiry: The Biased UN Commission Against Israel, notes that at the UNHRC resolution establishing the Commission did not even mention the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group, the 4,500 rockets launched at Israel during that war, or Israel’s right to self-defense.
The Commission, which is slated to release its findings in June, will “unjustly single out the Jewish state for condemnation, whilst giving a free pass to Palestinian terror groups, which just launched a fresh wave of violence, killing at least 18 Israelis since March this year,” the report noted.

“Moreover, the Commission will have an absurd open-ended carte blanche to investigate Israel in perpetuity, including before even its establishment in 1948,” it added. Pillay, a vocal supporter of boycotts against Israel, has a history of hostility towards the country, referring to it as an “apartheid regime” and accusing it of “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity.”
Pillay has also had ties with organizations and individuals affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is designated as a terror group by the US, EU, Canada, Israel and others. “In any civilized Court of Law, Pillay would never have been appointed as Chair, due to her extreme bias against Israel, or have had to recuse herself.
However, at the United Nations, you get rewarded and promoted for being openly hostile and biased against Israel,” human rights lawyer and CEO of ILF Arsen Ostrovsky told Breibart.
Navi’s appointment as chair “makes a complete farce of the UNHRC’s own rules and guidelines on Commissions of Inquiry, which require ‘a proven record of independence and impartiality,’ something which Pillay demonstrably lacks, and as a result, ought to recuse herself immediately,” he said.
Calling the U.N. inquiry a “sham,” Ostrovsky said it “underscores the Human Rights Council’s deep seated, relentless and systematic discrimination against Israel, which bordered on obsessive Jew hatred.”
“There are three things certain in life: death, taxes and that any U.N. commission or inquiry against Israel will presume the Jewish state guilty from the outset,” he quipped.
As the report notes, a large number of bi-partisan Members of Congress have already written to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, expressing grave concerns about the bias of the Commission and it’s discriminatory singling out of Israel.
“Instead of the UNHRC focusing its attention on actual pressing human rights abuses around the world, it is, yet again, squandering millions of dollars and resources to continue its relentless obsession with Israel, and in the process, undermining the Council’s own credibility, while obstructing peace in the region and only fueling further antisemitism around the world,” Ostrovsky said.

Even though the UN’s bias is not new and not surprising, all pro-Western individuals and organizations should not feel complacent about the selection of this well documented anti-semite, Navi Pillay, to lead its most recent initiative against Israel. She is manifestly in common cause with the anti-capitalist, anti-freedom revolutionary effort against, not only Israel, but America as well. When the Left is unable to get what it wants through legislative action in targeted democracies and republics, it resorts to alternative judicial initiatives. This has come to be called Lawfare. It is the game the Left plays to satisfy its agenda. As part of that game the Left’s activists penetrate many international organizations, not just the UN, to exploit those platforms’ for political gain and leverage. Targets of the Left’s penetrations are both governmental and non-governmental (NGOs) agencies. If anything has changed in their activities it is the fact that so many of these groups have now been infused with enormous funding from super-wealthy committed individuals, organizations and revolutionary governments, like the PRC. No one in any democracy or republic ought continue to be complacent and inactive. Every step not taken in defense of the democratic and constitutional West is an opportunity lost in the struggle against the oppression of the Left.

The UN is a corrupt, tyrannical, Communist China Controlled and Dominated and Muslim Controlled and Dominated, greedy, cruel, merciless, power hungry SATANIST Organization that loathes and HATES God and Hates Jews, Israel and Christians.
The UN HATES Freedom.
Every country that believes in sovereignty and freedom must immediately get out of this exceptionally wicked organization that intends to track, control and monitor every thing we say and do exactly like COMMUNIST CHINA.
And PUNISH us for the slightest infraction such as uttering non-offensive words.
AGENDA 21 and AGENDA 30
Absolute power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Foxes are well settled in the Chicken Coop and we are the Chickens and many of those Far Left leaning Chickens appear to be accepting their fate so they can virtue signal to the world just how ”anti racist” they are whereas the muslim standing beside and behind them laughs and laughs at the stupidity of such people.
Once more and more islamic Nations join the Abraham Accords they will tell these idiots that Israel is NOT the problem, the ”leaders” in Hamas and PA, plus the DemocRAT Party in the USA is the real problem, muslims have more human rights within Israel than they would have in ANY islamic Nation around the World..
Im waiting for Old Joe to tell them that..
