I began to meet with Bob Bernstein, iconic founder of @hrw, shortly after the organization played a leading role in the infamous #Antisemitic Durban NGO Forum. The moral betrayal of @KenRoth @ReedBrody and others was very painful for Bob, as expressed in his @nytimes oped
Beyond an independent and open investigation, everyone involved in the @BBC 's blatant and pervasive culture of antisemitism / antizionism (two sides of the same coin) must be held accountable. Including my "favourite" interviewer back in the day @BowenBBC.
For three years I was told to keep quiet. This morning my case was raised in Parliament.Asked in the Commons whether the BBC needs an independent inquiry into antisemitism, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, @lisanandy said she has discussed my case with the Director-General and will meet me in the coming weeks. I’m looking forward to that conversation.“We all have to step up and be counted,” she said. I agree. So many people, including former colleagues, have been in touch to say they wish they’d known what I was going through so they could have helped. Sadly, most have also said they’re not surprised by what they’ve read and heard. One called it straight out of the BBC playbook. It's time to rewrite the playbook. Change doesn’t happen because you say you’ve changed. It happens when you listen to the people the system is failing, and act on what they tell you.I believe in the BBC. It should hold itself to the standards it holds everyone else to

VP Vance is out as inept Iran negotiator, the mid-terms are over, and Trump is not leaving office as a loser. Can the Tehran regime's rulers (IRGC etc) read the room? Watch this space.
🚨Q: If the Iran crazies are still in power when you leave office, will that have been a defeat for you?
📌#Trump: Yes, that would be a defeat. Absolutely.

Reality check: Successive US administrations have allowed Jordan to ignore the extradition treaty, persuaded that the Hashemite rulers are so weak that they would be overthrown by Muslim Brotherhood & jihadis if Amman acted to bring vicious mass murderer Tamimi to justice. #Enough
Tamimi, the grinning savage above, murdered my 15 year old daughter Malki along 15 other innocents. If you’ve seen posts like this asking you to sign the petition calling on @StateDept’s @SecRubio to finally make Jordan comply with its treaty obligation, please do. Everyone can.

.@Ed_Miliband Your ministry is not being honest with Parliament or the British people. The Foreign Office here falsely denied the UK's complicity in nominating Iran. The truth is that regional groups only propose candidates, but the official nomination is done by ECOSOC. By not objecting on April 8, the UK officially joined consensus on the nomination of Iran — which was just now ratified by the UNGA. The U.S. did take the floor in April to oppose the nomination. The UK chose silence. This official reply below is deliberately misleading and deceptive.

“The Islamic regime in Iran massacred tens of thousands of people in January. The notion that they would be elected to a UN committee that shapes priorities on women’s rights and terrorism prevention is an absurdity.”

“If you’re a human rights advocate, which a lot of the NGOs I'm talking about claim they are, then you would agree that what happened on October 7th was inhumane and are war crimes.”
Anaelle Meyer, Researcher at NGO Monitor, discussed the international community’s reaction to the October 7th massacre, including the denial, justification, and misuse of human rights language.

UPDATE: Canada and Australia have revealed their secret ballots were against Iran's U.N. election. We call on all others to also reveal how they voted — especially those who nominated Iran in April: UK, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Austria.

.@dcexaminer reports that UNICEF denies it partnered with The Sameer Project, following NGO Monitor research documenting TSP’s support for “armed resistance” and videos of children at its Gaza school praising “righteous martyrs” and chanting “Jerusalem is ours.” 🧵>>
SCOOP: A Hamas-loving Gaza "aid" group called the Sameer Project claims to be a United Nations Children's Fund partner, but when I started asking around, the group deleted its violent posts and UNICEF denied any association.
"UNICEF has never had any partnership agreement with the project nor paid for any of their work. We are reaching out to them to fix the mention on their website."
Moreover, an American donor jailed overseas is reportedly accused of money laundering for Hamas with a financial trail that included ... the Sameer Project.
And it gets wilder: a DEI specialist and UK-based NGO are tied to the group.

The corrupt NGO-UN human rights industry waves the "universal periodic review" (UPR) as evidence of morality. Anyone looking seriously at UPR knows it's a hypocritical farce orchesteatsted by the worst dictators & allies like @amnesty.

The United States now has the shameful distinction of becoming the first country to avoid participating in all stages of the UN's Universal Periodic Review peer-review process.
Since its inception twenty years ago, the UPR has become a cornerstone of international oversight and transparency.
No country—even those whose governments or leaders are accused of some of the most horrific atrocities imaginable—has ever completely absconded from the UPR. The Human Rights Council gave the US an extra year to participate, but the Trump administration still failed to show up.

NGO Monitor Pres @GeraldNGOM expresses concern that “Berkeley students are now being exposed to bigoted materials that cast Jews and Israel as uniquely evil, and often deserving of violence.” Far stricter oversight is needed. See our report: ngo-monitor.org/reports/ngos…

U.N. Hamas Supporter Crushed in 🇿🇦 Elections
Tlaleng Mofokeng, the former U.N. Special Rapporteur who says “Hamas are not terrorists,” went down to a bruising defeat at the polls for Mayor of Johannesburg. Her radical-left EFF came a distant fourth, taking just 6.52%.
BREAKING: Tlaleng Mofokeng, the disgraced UN special rapporteur on health who just ended her term, has been announced as Johannesburg mayoral candidate for the EFF, the radical-left party led by Julius Malema, who leads chants calling to kill white farmers and was recently sentenced to five years in prison on gun charges.
This is the latest “independent” UN human rights official to slide right into a political post, without any cooling-off period.
Bangladesh recently named UN free speech rapporteur Irene Khan as their next UN rep.
Francesca Albanese said she's considering to join one of Italy's far left parties when her (illegally renewed) term ends in 2028.
These revolving-door appointments expose the fiction of “independent” UN human rights experts: officials use supposedly impartial mandates to advance partisan agendas, then move directly into political office without even a cooling-off period.
Under Volker Türk, the UN human rights office has enabled this blatant politicization, defending mandate-holders as neutral experts while imposing no meaningful safeguards against their using UN positions as springboards for radical political careers.

“American Doctor” hits theaters August 14.
It casts Feroze Sidhwa as the reluctant American doctor with no stake in the conflict who couldn't stay silent after Gaza. I went through his record going back almost twenty years. That story doesn't hold up.
He's told MSNBC he has no connection to the conflict whatsoever. His own essays describe a religious duty, as a Zoroastrian, to oppose Israel, and he's spent years editing books for Norman Finkelstein. He's also said, more than once, that no one who has worked in a Gaza hospital has seen Hamas there.
At the two hospitals where he volunteered, European Hospital and Nasser, the evidence of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operating inside is about as extensive as anywhere in this war.
His personal website, press kit included, went live October 9, 2024, the same day his New York Times op-ed published. Reluctant witnesses don't have a press kit ready to launch the moment the op-ed drops.
Full investigation is live at The Fisch Files.
