        You mean where they accuse the UN Human Rights Council of being part of a vast conspiracy against Israel?

          Hamas is the most powerful group in the world according to Israel. Capable of turning every and all of the world into antisemites. Including the organizations created with the specific purpose of preventing a repeat of historical antisemitic horrors. They are specially antisemitic, according to Israel.

            Yes, that’s a funny tale. And polemic bullshit…

            In reality anti-semitism is still wide-spread, no one needs to turn those people. But for quite some time it wasn’t acceptable to say that bullshit out loud. And now a lot of those people are even willing to support a terror organisation like Hamas implicitly or openly, because that gives them the chance to finally have a justification to express their anti-semitism openly again.

            When an UN commissioner openly talks about all “media being controlled by the Jewish lobby” you don’t need any made-up excuse like “they are critical about us, so they must be anti-semite” anymore. That guy is an actual anti-semite, shown by parroting a century old anti-semitic conspiracy about their secret world control.

            And it’s even worse. People like you are part of the problem. As long as there are easy to see anti-semites among Israel’s critics, but you prefer to ignore them, it’s actually easier for Israel to run with the bullshit story of how all criticism is anti-semitic and anti-Israel. Because the easiest way to lie is to hide it between some truths.

            Get rid of obvious anti-semites among critics that anyone can clearly spot -unless you are a total moron or antisemite yourself- and suddenly your criticism seems so much more valid and is not vulnerable anymore to being attacked as antisemitsm, something Israel’s propaganda departments will happily exploit. Fail to do so and you look just like a moron/anti-semite, actually helping Israel’s bullshit PR by devaluating your own arguments.

        I read it and Israel’s only “excuse” is the people on the commission don’t always agree with everything Israel does so they must be anti-Israel and anti-semites. Apparently any criticism is Israel means you are bad.

    If you are wondering who is the commission, the United Nations has a good overview on their past and accomplishments.

    They all don’t have a history of Anti-semitism, as claimed, but more along the lines such as:

    • Human rights in Gambia vs. Myanmar
    • Human rights on housing
    • Inquiry into Detention in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

    These guys are no joke, they have done this before. But more importantly, the comment that got them suspended?

    “We are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by, whether it is the Jewish lobby or it is specific NGOs, a lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us,” he said in the interview.

    But above all that, the excuse that Israel is using is:

    When asked by The Times of Israel what these claims were based on, Haiat said, “The commission of inquiry is there to investigate Israel without any time limits, unlike any other commission of inquiry from the UN system.

    Keep in mind, not even the investigation team knows how long it will take, so of course there won’t be a time frame. And they work for the UN, why do they need one?
