As willing collaborators in Hamas’ strategy, the UN has incentivised terrorists going forward to replicate what Hamas has done — and the price for that will be paid by civilians.
I also read the report, and here’s another point to add. Paragraph 201 of the report contains this doozy:
This makes Gaza unique among war zones this century. . . Palestinians in Gaza have had no way to escape it, either inside Gaza or by crossing an international border. The Israeli military has prevented them escaping from the violence into Israel, from where most of their families fled, or Egypt. This situation infers a clear intent on the part of the Israeli authorities to trap Palestinians in Gaza, creating such conditions that would prohibit them from escaping and ultimately lead to their destruction.
But wait- any time Israel tries to arrange a place for them to go, it’s accused of ‘ethnic cleansing’ and ‘driving Palestinians off their land’. So evacuating them to a safe place is a crime against humanity, but then not evacuating them is genocide? How’s that for a gotcha? Not to mention the absurdity of suggesting that Israel let unlimited Gazans pour in across its borders, and blaming Israel for Egypt being unwilling to allow Palestinians to enter as well.
The UN is a Useless dysfunctional impotent, incompetent, biased, Antisemitic organisation run by tyrannies with their cronies who support terrorist organizations.
If the US stops funding this corrupt organization, it will collapse.
This report is a farce and the UN as a whole is a corrupt farce. It is a dishonorable depraved cesspool of Jew-hating and anti-American terrorists and tyrannies which deserves to be shut down. It serves no purpose other than to provide legitimacy to the world's most inhuman murderous regimes and terrorist gangs while delegitimizing the only decent, civilized and democratic country in the Middle East. Tyrannical and terrorist regimes sit on its "human rights" counsel, and Israel's sworn enemies committed to its destruction get to vote on Israel's fate.
thanks for providing this run down of UN's miserable anti semitism normalized ....even Thailand was part of this? Thais were butchered and held hostage.....even Thailand backs this report?
Shame on Thailand. As for the rest of this .....Israel "out of the blue" attacked Gaza......I hold the UN and The EU entirely responsible for all unfolding violence in the Mid East. And of course Iran/hamas for the first prong of intended genocide of the Jews which they began ...to world wide western campus celebrations ....on Oct. 7th '23
Thailand is very good friends with Israel and generally has been defending itself AGAINST Muslims considering the massive amount of terrorism Muslims have perpetrated on Thailand. Many Thais work in Israel and though they were moved back to Thailand for the three months following Oct 7, many were keen to rush back.
However Thailand is also friends with Iran and of course Malaysia and Indonesia. They're walking a tightrope. As for human rights violations, they have a tendency to jail those who upset politics and are hostile to the monarchy which most Thais still consider gods.
It's only in the past 10 yrs or so that Thais have become increasingly intolerant of Muslims for much the same reasons as anyone else. However there are no proscriptions against Jews and Israelis travel there as freely and unmolested as any other tourists, many of course choosing to live there long term.
The UN is a criminal organisation! Even our dreadful Government in the UK stated last week that Israel had not committed genocide. Israel is abused by the UN constantly! I think they should pull out of the UN.
“The Commission finds that the speech on 9 October 2023 … was directed at the entire population in Gaza and would reasonably be heard and understood as such. … The Commission therefore finds that these statements … evince the direct intention to commit genocide by publicly calling for the elimination of Palestinians in Gaza.”
The Commission willfully conflates opinions by elected members of the legislature with government members of the ruling coalition with government policy. All of which leads to the obvious question of since when did elected officials have to power to dictate the IDF's battlefield protocol?
"It is “evident” that by creating the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which provides food to Gazans, Israel aims “to continuously impose starvation and unlivable conditions of life for Palestinians in Gaza . . . Which is one view. What clearly annoys the authors of the report is Israel attempting to remove “control over aid distribution in Gaza” from Hamas”
Wait a minute! Missing the point here. Supplying food to Gazans is imposing starvation? As Humpty Dumpty observed in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass," "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less"
"shambolically executed"
A portmanteau word made from shamefully and symbolically. If there is any shame accruing to GHF it is overt hostility by NGOs and UN agencies to its formation and function from the very day of its inception. Symbolically? If it is actually getting food into the hands of civilians rather than Hamas, then its actions are not symbolic but successful.
"“This situation infers a clear intent on the part of the Israeli authorities to trap Palestinians in Gaza, creating such conditions that would … ultimately lead to their destruction.”"
If Israel is guilty of Genocide by this standard, then so is Egypt which not only has a border with Gaza but built higher walls than Israel did to stop suicidal incursion and stationed its military on that border to stop any fleeing Gazans. aAnd what about Jordan's refusal too take in Gazans when over 60% population are "Palestinians?" What was Black September all about?
"a section in the report claiming Israel has engaged in “rape, sexualised torture, and other forms of sexual violence” in a “widespread and systematic” way"
Accusations are not their own proof. As Clara Peller famously said in the 1984 Wendy's commercial, "Where's the beef?" Because I accuse you of stealing my car does not mean you stole my car.
"“From 7 October 2023 to 31 July 2025, 60,199 Palestinians were killed, of whom 18,430 were children "
What age range does Hamas/UN and its affiliates, and the Commission constitute children? Secondly, are child soldiers still to be considered civilian children? Does the Humanitarian Law of Warfare label children armed with assault rifles, RPGs, and IEDs as a protected class?
Using their own words, The entire Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel should be tried for genocide against Israel. When is the United States going to get enough balls to throw the entire United Nations out of our country and let them wallow in somewhere appropriate, maybe Kabul or Khinshasha.
All for eliminating the UN. Not only would it purge the useful idiots but it would nullify the security council vetos particularly of Russia and China.
"Genocide" has become a meaningless term since now any conflict whatsoever is termed one. For example did you know that there's a genocide against men in dresses nowadays!!!!??! Yes, despite a complete lack of evidence and the fact that the last ten (or so) shooters in the USA have been trans-identified or trans-adjacent AND the fact that no one has been killed for crossdressing in the west for eons if ever doesn't stop them from complaining about being victimized.
This relates to 'queer theory' and the consequent use of DARVO which reverses victim and offender always to the benefit of the offender. Though 'Palestinians' may loathe the alphabet soup, this hasn't prevented them from adopting the same nonsense tactics which 'progressives' now think is cool.
BTW, having trouble seeing Thailand in the group of countries you mention as being against Israel when they are such good friends. As for the Uyghurs, they are generally Islamists and that group is the one which has caused the most political conflict in Thailand in recent years with those descending from Islamists in Cambodia being the primary cause of those attacks just a few months ago.
I was living there in 2017 when there were NINE bombings by Islamist terrorists including of Buddhist shrines, narrowly missed being killed there myself.
Thank you so much for your interesting/brillant essay....As you know, the USA pays 60% of the budget of the UN !!!!!!!....an organization who was created to keep the PEACE in the world ......but who actually is doing just the opposite........ALWAYS against Israel.......It's actually a Sneak peek

It's unclear to me why Thailand has been noted as an enemy of Israel and Judaism in this article.
Genocide is whenever Jews defend themselves.
That’s it, in a nutshell
Dear President Trump,
Please stop funding this snakepit.
Thank you.

Brilliant. Thank you. I wish this were published for the world to see.
U.S. should stop funding the U.N. and stop funding NGOs. Will Trump do it and if he does will the courts allow it?
All for eliminating the UN. Not only would it purge the useful idiots but it would nullify the security council vetos particularly of Russia and China.
