We've written previously about the kangaroo court, open ended "commission of inquiry" of the UN Human Rights Council designed to declare Israel a violator of every law known to man plus a few that they will make up themselves.
One of the members of the commission, Miloon Kothari, gave an podcast interview with Mondoweiss (naturally) that was so absurd that it is beyond parody. He spouted explicit antisemitism. He spread lies about international law.
It is something to hear.
The goal of this commission is to gather evidence to take Israel to the International Criminal Court and possibly expel it from the UN.
Kothari complained about how the US was working against the obvious bias of the commission, saying that it was very disrespectful for the US to point it out.
You might know at this session of the Council when we presented our report, the United States, which is you know, become a member of the Council again, circulated a statement signed by 22 countries objecting to our mandate and that actually shows great disrespect for the body that the United States is a member of. Because once you're a member of a body and a body has adopted a mechanism, you have to, you have to respect it.....We had overwhelming support of the UN Member states. the US got, you know, 22 states signed, but that's 22 out of 193. That's not very much.Also I think that it's not only governments, but we are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by whether it's the Jewish lobby or it's very specific NGOs. A lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us.
According to Kothari, the majority must always be right. And Jews control social media and they are throwing a lot of their Jew money at trying to silence the esteemed UN commission that is beyond reproach or criticism.
That's not even an exaggerated version of what he is saying.
Kothari also says the "occupation" has been illegal from the beginning. Even if you say that Israel occupies the West Bank, occupations aren't illegal. There is no concept of an illegal occupation in international law. Kothari's ignorance of the basics of the international law that supposedly is the basis of this inquiry says volumes.
And then he says, "I would go as far as to raise the question is why are they [Israel] even a member of the United Nations?"
Listening to this podcast, this is a very good question. Why should any decent country give legitimacy to what is so obviously a joke?
Kothari did say one thing that was 100% accurate, though, even though he meant it in a different way:
If people feel that we are biased, then we are biased. But but for us, that's that's the job we've been given to do. And that's what we're doing.
Exactly. The job they were given was to be biased, and that is precisely what they are doing.
