Die ehemalige UN-Folterberichterstatterin Alice Jill Edwards hat nach vier Jahren im Amt offen beschrieben, wie einseitig und einschüchternd der Umgang mit Israel innerhalb der Vereinten Nationen oft abläuft.
Sie dokumentierte die Massaker vom 7. Oktober, besuchte betroffene Kibbuzim und sprach mit Geisel-Familien. Nur ein weiterer Sonderberichterstatter unterzeichnete ihren Bericht zu Folter, sexueller Gewalt und Geiselnahmen durch die Hamas. Andere wurden nach ihrer Darstellung massiv unter Druck gesetzt, nicht mitzuzeichnen oder Inhalte abzuschwächen. Kolleginnen wie Francesca Albanese und Reem Alsalem hätten die Verbrechen gegen Israelis nie formal erfasst, obwohl die Belege klar seien. Gleichzeitig liefen zahlreiche Verfahren und Berichte zu israelischen Handlungen.
Edwards betont, dass sie auch Vorwürfe gegen Israel untersucht hat und keine parteiische Position einnimmt. Genau deshalb wiegt ihre Schilderung einer „Bullying-Atmosphäre“ und eines obsessiven Fokus auf Israel schwer. Wer Neutralität und gleiche Maßstäbe für alle Opfer einfordert, wird offenbar isoliert. Andere Konflikte wie Sudan, Jemen oder der Kongo bekommen deutlich weniger Aufmerksamkeit.
Das untergräbt die Glaubwürdigkeit der UN. Wenn eine Organisation, die sich auf Universalität beruft, systematisch eine Seite bevorzugt und die andere kleinredet oder verschweigt, verliert sie ihre Legitimation. Edwards hat von innen gezeigt, was viele von außen längst sehen: Die UN ist in diesem Konflikt nicht neutral, sondern strukturell voreingenommen.

This video was taken in Gaza today at the funeral of a Hamas terrorist.
You'll never see it on CNN or any other major Western media outlet.
But you'll see the one below every single day.

Must-read.
Since October 2023, four-fifths of Wikipedia's article on Zionism has been rewritten. Historians like Benny Morris are cited to say things they never said. Editors banned from the page left their work behind.
Wikipedia is where millions go for "neutral" facts, and AI models train on it.
This isn't an encyclopedia anymore. It's a propaganda operation with footnotes.

America maintains 200,000 U.S. troops on 700-plus overseas bases in 80 countries, which costs some $200 billion annually—over 5,000% more than the $3.8 billion in aid to Israel.

FN organet OCHA har sammanställt statistik över “bosättarvåld”. Den är mer bedräglig än du kan föreställa dig.
I sin genomgång av de 8 333 listade incidenterna av “bosättarvåld” var 95 procent antingen sådana som inte involverade bosättare, inte involverade våld, eller inte ägde rum i Judeen och Samarien.
Av 59 palestinska dödsfall som tillskrevs israeliska civila var 26 fall där palestiniern själv inledde våldet och därefter dödades i självförsvar, och 24 dödades i själva verket av IDF.
Efter att ha räknat bort oidentifierade gärningsmän, pågående fall och till och med en terrorist som dog när han kraschade sin egen bil under flykt, återstod endast ETT fall av en verifierad, oprovocerad dödning utförd av en israelisk civilperson.
OCHA räknade fredliga judiska besök på Tempelberget, skolbarn som besökte arkeologiska platser, trafikolyckor, infrastrukturarbeten och till och med en arabisk arbetare som blev biten av en judiskägd hund som “bosättarvåld”.
1 755 av OCHA:s incidenter byggde på en enda källa. EN ENDA KÄLLA! Ytterligare 565 saknade helt identifierbar källa. DET FANNS ALLTSÅ INGEN KÄLLA ALLS!
Det är dessa siffror som regeringar, journalister och internationella organisationer använder för att framställa Judeen och Samarien som skådeplatsen för en judisk terrorkampanj och för att rättfärdiga repressiva sanktioner mot vanliga israeler.

A UN commission accused Israel of extermination in the West Bank. Within hours, it was everywhere.
A charge that serious should rest on evidence anyone can check. Dozens of the report’s citations to earlier commission reports give no paragraph or page number. And Israel investigated most of these deaths, yet the report doesn’t give Israel’s findings in a single one. Israel made that information public months before the report came out.
This isn’t a claim about whether the events described happened or not. Rather, it’s about how a conclusion becomes common knowledge when nobody checks it.

Real footage of the build up to the 1967 Six-Day War. The Egyptian President gathered support from almost the entire Arab and Muslim world. The armies of many Muslim nations pledged their allegiance and their soldiers.
Listen to the words of the Saudi King. He gave his full support for the total extermination of the State of Israel. That has been and remains the ambition of all the Muslim nations. They’re not interested in peace. They don’t care who we choose as Prime Minister. All they want is our complete annihilation. This is why we fight. This is what we’re fighting.
That’s why I don’t care how many of them die in the wars that they themselves start. They’re not trying to defeat our army. They want to kill every living Jew. That’s all they’ve ever wanted. They’re all no different to Hamas. They simply wear suits.

Palestinians in Gaza are hailing the violent demonstrations in France — and taking credit for having inspired them. In their telling, the ideology that started in Gaza has spread to Europe and needs to spread further.
Western publics must confront and roll back this culture of violence, from North America to Europe to Gaza’s shores.

FACTS
So let’s challenge the false narrative of the numbers of indigenous ‘ Palestinians ethnically cleansed ‘ ( some cite 700,000) vis a vis those Muslims and Arabs who were immigrants coming into Palestine as a result of the economic benefits brought about by Zionism - that would certainly be included in that collective.
Now during the period up to 1922 , thousands of Muslims entered Palestine as per the Encyclopaedia Brittanica notation 1911 authored by the Palestine expert R.A. Stewart Macalistair . These immigrants ( he refers to them as settlers establishing colonies ) also form part of the collective latterly called ‘ Palestinians ethnically cleansed ‘ during the 1948 War of Independence . He references thus .
Country or region of origin People or community coming into Palestine in the ten year period up to 1911 described as below -
Southern Arabia (Yemen) Yaman tribes
Northern Arabia Kais (Qais) tribes
Egypt Immigrants introduced during Egyptian rule
Turkey (Constantinople) Turkish officials
Armenia Armenian communities
Greece Greeks
Italy Italians
Persia Persians and Motawila
Afghanistan Afghan community, particularly in Jaffa
Kurdistan Kurdish communities
Bosnia Bosnian settlers at Caesarea
Caucasus Circassian settlers
Sudan Sudanese communities
Algeria Algerians settlers
He also references Turkoman settlements in the Jaulan and European communities associated with monasteries.
Similarly during the period between 1931 and 1936 thousands of Syrians entered the area as verified below . Would these have counted as ‘ Palestinians ethnically cleansed ‘ during the 1948 War of Independence . The Governor of Houran Province in Syria quoted in the publication called La Syrie, a French-language newspaper published in Damascus.
The interview appeared on 12 August 1934 and was with Tewfik Bey el-Huriani (also rendered Tewfik Bey El-Huriani), identified as Governor of the Hauran (Houran) district in French-mandate Syria.
The Governor reportedly stated that between 30,000 and 36,000 people from the Hauran had entered Palestine and settled there in the preceding months. He also mentioned that they were sending substantial sums of money back to their families in Syria.
I have found an important contemporary confirmation: the matter was subsequently raised before the League of Nations Permanent Mandates Commission in 1935.
Churchill and Roosevelt also made statements about mass immigration into Palestine .Were these immigrants also part of the collective latterly known as ‘ Palestinians ethnically cleansed during the 1948 War of Independence ‘
Churchill's statement, May 23 , 1939 -
“So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country [Palestine] and multiplied till their population has increased.”
A related statement by Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote in 1939:
“The Arab immigration into Palestine since 1921 has vastly exceeded the total Jewish immigration during this whole period.”
This was in a confidential communication concerning Palestine, reproduced in the US State Department's Foreign Relations of the United States documents
Notice there was no collective termed Palestinians - they hadn’t yet been invented !! So it seems a huge proportion of Arab Muslims who were ethnically cleansed from Palestine ( after 6 Arab armies and their Arab Palestinian proxies attempted to exterminate the Jews immediately following the Holocaust) were themselves colonising settlers .

Nuseir, connu sous le nom de Nas Daily est un célèbre producteur de contenu.
Il est arabe israélien et a répondu à un post en disant qu’il avait de la chance d’être un palestinien né en Israël, que partout ailleurs les palestiniens n’avaient aucun droits.
Puis, au fil de la discussion il a conseillé aux israéliens de ne pas trop être en empathie suicidaire avec les palestiniens, et devant la réponse d’un gaucho offusqué par ses propos, il a répondu ça :
« Je vous le dis publiquement, pour que, je l’espère, d’autres puissent le voir. Donnez à mon peuple suffisamment de liberté, et ils se référeront aux anciens textes religieux pour vous tuer littéralement. Ne soyez pas si naïf, il y a des problèmes fondamentaux dans ma culture, et des gens comme vous nous empêchent de les résoudre. »
Puis plus bas : « il faut être extrêmement prudent quand la religion a plus de poids q’un état »

⛺ As part of preparations for the winter season, more than 85,000 tents have entered the Gaza Strip in recent months, alongside more than 8,000 trucks carrying winter supplies, including clothing, tarpaulins, blankets, and other items.
🚰🏥 In addition, projects in the WASH and healthcare sectors are being advanced, including the drainage of sewage channels, repairs to water and electricity infrastructure, road repairs, and more. As part of these efforts, the entry of a wide range of advanced equipment has recently been approved, including 8 sewage vacuum trucks, 3 mobile clinics, and 7,500 doses of tetanus vaccine.
⛽ As part of the ongoing supply of essential resources to humanitarian facilities, fuel and engine oil continue to be provided regularly under monitoring and oversight mechanisms.
COGAT will continue working in coordination with the @BoardOfPeace, alongside the @UN, international organizations, and donor countries, to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, particularly ahead of the approaching winter season.

Children in an Antwerp classroom, dressed in keffiyehs, holding watermelon symbols, taught Israel's history from a fake map, with a speaker from "Antwerp for Palestine" brought in to make sure the message lands.
This is a scandal. Not education. Indoctrination, on taxpayers' money.
Everyone who approved, organized or took part in this should be out of the education system. No child should be handed to people who use classrooms for propaganda.
And make no mistake: it starts with the kids. Today it's keffiyehs and fake maps. Tomorrow it's a generation raised to see Islamist politics as the future of Europe.
This is how the takeover is prepared. Wake up, Belgium.

So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

I was just in Israel with @Mr_Andrew_Fox - part of a larger group of journalists and think tank people hosted by the Israel Press Club.
We spoke to many high ranking people, some on the record, many off.
Almost all spoke about Britain with warmth as a great country but also spoke as an increasingly hostile state.
They all described how our government is blowing up our relationship with Israel for internal political reasons. And because of a moral blindness.
They recognise that moral blindness. They once tried to appease Islamism, ignore the rhetoric of hatred.
The consensus thought in Israel was one of appeasement - let Hamas have the Qatari millions, trust that when they say they want to destroy Israel they aren’t really mad enough to attempt it.
That blew up in their faces on October 7 and they see our country as foolish for not learning that lesson.
And, as Andrew points out, the violence is already here in the UK too. It’s just over a year since the terrorist attack at Heaton Park killed two people. We’ve had stabbings, ambulances and synagogues set on fire.
We have had multiple cases of people either in prison or going through the court system for attempted terrorist attacks on my tiny community.
The hatred was uncorked on October 7 2023 when people in our country were in the streets celebrating the murder of Jews and the establishment, the DEI departments, the feminist groups, seemed unable to condemn any of it. There has been no let up since.
It unleashed this centuries old hatred and it’s been fed by an obsession which means Israel has been discussed in the Commons more than the NHS while BBC Verify has done more ‘investigations’ into Israel than all the UK stories put together.
The obsession, the skewed narrative in which Hamas is almost always missing is dangerous. And they know it is.
The response has simply been defence. Higher walls around our schools and synagogues. We don’t want higher walls. We want our government to stop appeasing the beast. We want the demonisation of Jews in the guise of Zionists to stop.
And if they aren’t doing it for us, they should do it for everyone else.
Because we are just the first in line.
A week of Jewish hospitality in Israel has left me ashamed of the welcome Britain offers its own Jews. My latest essay is a love letter to people who should never have to wonder whether they belong in the country they call home.
