Two weeks ago the UN Human Rights Office issued a "Thematic Report – Attacks on hospitals during the escalation of hostilities in Gaza (7 October 2023 – 30 June 2024)."

Here is one example of how biased against Israel the UN is.

Israel says that it is only attacking terrorist elements in the hospitals. Here is how the UN describes Israel's claims:
In all instances where the Israeli military has attacked hospitals, apart from Al Awda Hospital in Northern Gaza and Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al Balah in Middle Gaza, Israel has alleged that the hospitals were being used by Palestinian armed groups.[32] In its comments on this report, the Government of Israel makes these arguments specifically in reference to Rantisi, Sheikh Hamad, Al Quds, Indonesia and Nasser hospitals. [33] However, insufficient information has so far been made publicly available to substantiate these allegations, which have remained vague and broad, and in some cases appear contradicted by publicly available information.[34]
Let's compare the footnotes for the competing claims.

Footnote 32 points to an eleven page report from Israel describing in detail terror activity in the hospitals and IDF efforts to not hurt patients. Footnote 33 points to four links from the IDF and Israeli newspapers detailing, with photos and videos, that tunnels and weapons were found in the hospitals. 

And the footnote that says that the claims were vague and contradicted by other information? It points to an interview with ICC prosecutor Andrew Cayley in The Guardian:
Cayley said the ICC faced “great difficulty assessing” the level of Hamas militant presence in hospitals “because clearly there are lies being spoken, but that is really something we do need to get to the bottom of as a prosecution office”.

He added: “I think that has been grossly exaggerated, but we need to be able to demonstrate very clearly what the level of military presence was, if at all, in these hospitals because I think we’ve been misled about that in the press.”

Cayley indicated that Israeli operations against Gaza’s healthcare facilities would be examined. “Looking at damage to health facilities, destruction of health facilities, we will be coming on to that probably later next year. We’re having to do this in stages simply because of the resources that we have,” he added.

Cayley says that he thinks Israel is exaggerating its claims, he does not bring one iota of evidence that anything they say is wrong. It's just a gut feeling.

The ICC prosecution - by its own admittance - has not done any investigation and is making statements without any facts. 

There is nothing in the article that says that Israel's claims are contradicted by publicly available information. The UN made that up.


The UN points to that one article with no information as a counter-proof to specific Israeli claims that include videos, photos and statements by terrorists themselves who were captured. 

Later on in he report the UN dismisses photos of weapons found in the hospitals:

The IDF published pictures of some weapons reportedly found at Al Shifa Medical Complex, although these appeared to be mainly a small number of small weapons and therefore not necessarily of a nature to conclude that hostilities had been launched or directed from the hospital. 
The weapons found were just the normal kinds of things one would find at a hospital: automatic weapons, grenades, ammunition and flak jackets.

Why are there any weapons at a hospital? Why would some be hidden in incubators? What is the exact amount of weapons that the IDF must find to prove that a hospital was not being used as a hospital?

The UN is a joke. A very bad one.
