BREAKING: 🇨🇭 Swiss Council of States to meet Tuesday for final vote on motion to “immediately suspend all funding of UNRWA.” After we presented our dossier proving UNRWA's complicity with Hamas terrorism, the Foreign Affairs Committee voted 7-6 to defund. Now the plenary votes.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

Today in the 🇨🇭 Swiss Senate I presented our dossier exposing UNRWA terror ties. I'm hopeful they'll confirm the lower house motion to defund UNRWA. The US defunded in March; Netherlands and Sweden last month. Then we need to impose sanctions—and indict Lazzarini for war crimes. https://t.co/3XsmalQpPh

Video Transcript AI Summary

Hillel Neuer of UN Watch testified before the Swiss Senate, advocating for defunding UNRWA. He presented a dossier, including the "Unholy Alliance" report, documenting meetings between UNRWA leaders and Hamas/Jihad members, and previewed an upcoming report exposing Hamas's control over UNRWA's education system. Neuer highlighted momentum, citing the US Congress vote to freeze funding until March 2025, the Swiss lower house vote to suspend funding, the Netherlands' decision to defund UNRWA over four years, and Sweden's cessation of funding. He emphasized the significance of Switzerland, Lazarini's home country, defunding UNRWA. Neuer stated that defunding is insufficient and called for sanctions against UNRWA and holding its leaders accountable in court for allegedly aiding and abetting war crimes by knowingly funding Hamas leaders as teachers and principals.

Speaker 0: Hey, everyone. It's Hillel Neuer from UN Watch. I've just come from a behind closed doors hearing of the Swiss Senate, what's called the Council of States of the Federal Assembly of Switzerland. I was the only one invited on behalf of UN Watch to make the case against UNRWA. As I walked in, by the way, I met the director of UNRWA in Lebanon, someone we've reported about, Dorothy Claus, who sat there while the chief teacher, the head of the teachers union, Fatri Sharif, was inciting violence, and she sat there and said nothing, and we just met in the hall. That was interesting just for a moment as I was walking in. And I was here to make the case. And, you know, we've been building a dossier. I've talked about it for months. I've been asking Lazarini, Philippe Lazarini, the head of UNRWA to meet. He absolutely refuses. He just announced in New York on Friday he will never meet with me. We're the only organization exposing his teachers, the teachers of terrorism. He will not meet with me, but we brought the dossier to the Swiss Senate. I presented them our latest report. The Unholy Alliance documents in dozens of pages photos of UNRWA leaders, past and present, who regularly meet with Hamas and the Jihad. I also gave them pages of our upcoming report. I'll give you just a glimpse. Our upcoming report, will come out in the next month, which exposes how the education system, completely hijacked by Hamas terrorists, we have momentum on our side. In March, after I testified in congress, they voted to freeze funding until March 2025. I'm confident the Trump administration will continue the freeze, then the Swiss lower house. After I testified in April and September, they voted 99 to 88 to suspend funding immediately. That motion has now gone before the Swiss senate. They'll probably decide in the next few months. I hope the materials we gave them, huge amount of materials, and I'm gonna send them even more after the questions they asked. I hope that they will uphold and support this motion to immediately suspend funding. The Netherlands in December voted to begin defunding UNRWA over the next four years, which is huge, the first EU state to defund terrorist infested UNRWA. Then Sweden announced. Sweden, which has given hundreds of millions to UNRWA over the years, they are no longer funding UNRWA. The money will go to other agencies which can replace them. So we have momentum on our side. It will be huge if Switzerland joins because it's the guardian of the Geneva Conventions. It's the neutral country, and it's the country of Lazarini. The head of UNRWA is Swiss. They sponsored him to get the job. So if Switzerland announces finally to defund, that'll be a huge slap in the face for him, and, I don't think they can recover from that kind of decision. So you can count on us never to give up. It's not enough to defund. I'm gonna tell the incoming US ambassador, Elise Stefanik, and the White House, it's not enough to defund. We need to sanction UNRWA. We need to hold their leaders accountable for war crimes. They knew they were funding Hamas leaders as their teachers, their school principals, their managers, and they need to be held accountable for aiding and abetting war crimes in a court of law. We're not gonna give up. Thank you for your support.

The UN has revised its casualty figures for women and children in Gaza, halving the previous estimates. The UN claims that the numbers are continually checked and updated, but critics argue that the UN relies on Hamas-supplied numbers without proper verification. There is a stark contrast in the UN's methodology for counting casualties in Gaza compared to other conflict situations like Ukraine. Some believe that the UN's goal is not accuracy but to portray Israel as malevolent. It is suggested that the UN should admit the failure of its Gaza casualty count and not legitimize a Hamas-run system that spreads false information.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

BREAKING: UN halves estimate of women and children killed in Gaza. As quoted in the article, let me explain how the UN's method for casualty counting in Gaza is the complete opposite of how they act in other conflict situations such as Ukraine. 🧵 https://nationalpost.com/news/world/israel-middle-east/united-nations-halves-estimate-of-women-and-children-killed-in-gaza

United Nations halves estimate of women and children killed in Gaza The United Nations (UN) significantly lowers its previously stated casualty list in the Gaza Strip, nationalpost.com

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

“The UN significantly adjusted Gaza casualty figures, halving the number of women and children previously reported killed. While more than 9,500 women & 14,500 children fatalities were reported by @UNOCHA on May 6, the number was two days later revised significantly downward.” /2

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

@Mike_Wagenheim @JNS_org: The Director of UNICEF Catherine Russell indicated in mid-March, she was citing Hamas health ministry numbers, 13,000 children had died in Gaza. The UN released totals yesterday showing that less than 8,000 children have died in Gaza as a result of the war, citing the same Hamas health ministry. Can you clarify the process for how those numbers were revised? @UN_Spokesperson Farhan Haq: “Yeah, the revisions are taken… you know, as we, of course, in the fog of war, it’s difficult to come up with numbers. We get numbers from different sources on the ground, and then we try to crosscheck them. As we crosscheck them, we update the numbers, and we’ll continue to do that as that progresses. Q: I mean, it’s almost half. It’s pretty significant. UN: “Numbers get adjusted many times over the course of a conflict. Once a conflict is done, we’ll have the most accurate figures. But we’re just going with what we can absolutely confirm, which will always be the low end of what the numbers are.” Q: So can people consider those numbers reliable having been so off in this occasion? UN: “Well, you can consider them reliable from the fact that we’re continually checking them. We’ll continue to do that over the course of the war. But the numbers, you know, ultimately have to be regularly checked so that we can be sure that what we’re putting out is valid.” /3

Video Transcript AI Summary

In mid-March, UNICEF reported 13,000 children dead in Gaza, but recent UN numbers show less than 8,000 deaths. The figures are constantly revised during conflict due to multiple sources. The accuracy improves as more information is verified. Despite the adjustments, the confirmed numbers are always on the lower side. The reliability of the numbers is ensured through continuous checking to provide valid information. Translation (if needed): The UNICEF initially reported 13,000 children dead in Gaza, but recent UN numbers show less than 8,000 deaths.

@UNOCHA @Mike_Wagenheim @JNS_org In Ukraine, the UN has a defined methodology using individual records of civilian harm, requiring a reasonable grounds standard of proof. As a result, the UN states that the actual death toll is likely higher, because their count is careful & cautious. /4 https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/2024-02/two-year-update-protection-civilians-impact-hostilities-civilians-24.pdf

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

@UNOCHA @Mike_Wagenheim @JNS_org Yet when Israel can be blamed, it’s the complete opposite. For Gaza there is no method or standard of proof. The UN simply parrots Hamas numbers, the source laundered by the UN as “Gaza Ministry of Health” or “Government Media Office.” In fact, both are run by terrorist Hamas. /5

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

@UNOCHA @Mike_Wagenheim @JNS_org In 2014, when the UN saw that its Syria death toll was way off, they stopped it. ⤵️ @ap Yet on Gaza—even as the UN effectively admits that it fed the media and the world completely false Hamas numbers—they are doing the opposite. They're doubling down. https://apnews.com/general-news-df8df3c39aa5444baac64d811a7adef5 /6

UN decides to stop updating Syria death toll GENEVA (AP) — The U.N.'s human rights office has stopped updating the death toll from Syria's civil war, confirming Tuesday that it can no longer verify the sources of information that led to its last count of at least 100,000 in late July. apnews.com

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

The truth is that when it comes to Israel, it’s clear the UN’s goal is not accuracy, but rather to immediately seize on any report, no matter how unsubstantiated or even manifestly false, in order to portray Israel as malevolent. /7

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

The right thing for the UN to do now, as they did on Syria in 2014, is to admit their Gaza casualty count is a total failure. If UN officials continue to legitimize a Hamas-run system that is now shown to be completely false, they will be complicit with terrorist propaganda. /8

reSee.it AI Summary

The Islamic Republic of Iran will take the Presidency of the Conference on Disarmament, starting March 18th. This decision has sparked concerns due to Iran's past breaches of nuclear agreements and ongoing violations. There are calls for democracies to walk out and refuse to send ambassadors to any meeting chaired by Iran's regime. The UN atomic agency has also reported Iran's lack of cooperation in controlling its nuclear program. Allowing an international outlaw to oversee arms control efforts is seen as wrong and threatens the credibility of the UN's commitment to disarmament.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

No Joke: the U.N. just announced the Islamic Republic of Iran will take the Presidency of the Conference on Disarmament, starting March 18th. Having Ayatollah Khamenei preside over global nuclear weapons disarmament is like putting a serial rapist in charge of a women’s shelter. https://t.co/kFuSBNh1KQ

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

2/ The Iranian regime's presidency will last until May 24th. The agenda of the Conference contains the following core items: cessation of the nuclear arms race and nuclear disarmament; prevention of nuclear war, including all related matters; prevention of an arms race in outer space; effective international arrangements to assure non-nuclear-weapon States against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons; new types of weapons of mass destruction and new systems of such weapons, radiological weapons; comprehensive programme of disarmament; and transparency in armaments.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

3/ When the Ayatollah's representative arrives at the United Nations to take the gavel of the Conference on Disarmament on March 18th, we are calling on all democracies to walk out.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

4/ UN Watch urges the U.S., Canada, Britain, France, Germany, and all other member and observer states to declare now that they will refuse to send ambassadors to any meeting of this U.N. forum that is being chaired by the Ayatollah's murderous regime.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

5/ It is a fundamental conflict of interests to have the Islamic Regime in Iran as president of a disarmament forum, an act liable to be exploited by Tehran's propaganda to legitimize the Mollahs' murderous regime.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

6/ The Islamic regime's past and ongoing breaches of nuclear agreements contradict the very essence of the disarmament conference’s mandate. The Ayatollah's presidency threatens to legitimize the regime’s ongoing violations, and discredits the U.N.’s commitment to disarmament.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

7/ Allowing an international outlaw to oversee international arms control efforts is just plain wrong.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

8/ The announcement came on the same day the UN atomic agency said Iran is barely cooperating. The IAEA is struggling to carry out controls on Iran’s nuclear program, which continues to expand even as Tehran denies it wants to make nuclear weapons. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-18/iran-frustrates-nuclear-monitors-as-its-uranium-stockpile-grows

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

9/ “It’s a very frustrating situation. We continue our activities there, but at a minimum,” IAEA director-general Rafael Grossi said in an interview yesterday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “They are restricting cooperation in a very unprecedented way.”

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

10/ About the Conference of Disarmament: The Conference of Disarmament (CD) reports to the UN General Assembly and is billed by the UN as “the single multilateral disarmament negotiating forum of the international community.” Established in 1979 after a special UN General Assembly session, the CD is made up of 65 countries who have been divided in recent years on key issues. The conference and its predecessors have negotiated such major multilateral arms limitation and disarmament agreements as: • Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons • Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction • Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction • Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques • Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

11/ The 65 nations in the forum rotate turns taking the chair in alphabetical order. Six states take the chair in a year. Yet a disarmament body should not be headed by the world’s arch-villain on illegal weapons and nuclear proliferation. On March 18, democracies must walk out.

A series of posts expose a Telegram group of UNRWA teachers in Gaza praising Hamas atrocities. The group admins, including Safaa Al Najjar, share administrative information and promote terrorism. UNRWA denies knowledge of the group, but evidence shows their involvement. The group also shares internal UNRWA documents and discusses work schedules. The posts provide examples of UNRWA teachers celebrating terrorism and inciting hatred towards Jews. The UNRWA teachers' identities and personal information are also shared in the group. More revelations are promised in future posts.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

Five days ago, we exposed a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza replete with praise of the Hamas massacre of October 7th. UNRWA cast doubt that they work for them. The UN spox disparaged us. This 🧵 will show how the group admins and members are indeed part of UNRWA.

Q: On that report of UN Watch on UNRWA, is the UN concerned? UN Secretary-General Spokesman: “I mean, UN Watch has a track record, and I think from our end, it speaks for itself... But, obviously, any allegations are looked into.” @StefanoVaccara @LaVocediNewYork

Speaker 0: And then, I'll always follow-up. On that report of UNWatch on UNRWA, I just asked to Human Rights Watch what they thought an assessment or what they thought on that report and they say, they don't think it's worth anything because they don't have proof, so things like that. Anyway, they they didn't have anything good to say about the report. Yesterday, you said, I think, I think if I if I heard well, you said that you are concerned. I mean, the UN is concerned. Speaker 1: What I said. I mean, neither of us can remember what I said yesterday, Fasano. But what I'm saying is that any allegations are looked into.

In her farewell email to Human Rights Watch, Danielle Haas expresses concerns about the organization's handling of its Israel work. She highlights a shift in focus, tone, and framing, leading to a lack of professionalism and fairness. Haas emphasizes the need for valid criticism of Israeli policies but points out the politicization and biased approach. She also raises issues of selective expertise, lack of trust from Israelis, and an internal climate that stifles dissent. Haas calls on HRW to address these long-standing issues and uphold its internal standards to regain credibility and moral authority.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

Danielle Haas’ farewell email to her colleagues @hrw: Dear Human Rights Watch, Because we live in dangerous times and this is a human rights organization dedicated to free speech, open dialogue, and rights for all, I’m sending a final email before leaving HRW. I’m hopeful, but wary, that an organization with a mission to “Expose. Investigate. Change” can do just that when it comes to its own practices regarding its Israel work, with authenticity and without retaliation. When I joined Human Rights Watch over 13 years ago as senior editor, I did so with years of experience in journalism covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and time in academia. Human Rights Watch seemed to be a good blend of both; a leading human rights organization dedicated to rigorous research, focused on international law and human suffering, with a mandate to bring about change. I believed in, and stayed for, the broader mission. But as the organization grew and its composition shifted, so too did the focus, tone, and framing of its Israel-Palestine work. Following the Hamas massacres in Israel on October 7, years of institutional creep culminated in organizational responses that shattered professionalism, abandoned principles of accuracy and fairness, and surrendered its duty to stand for the human rights of all. HRW’s initial reactions to the Hamas attacks failed to condemn outright the murder, torture, and kidnapping of Israeli men, women, and children. They included the “context” of “apartheid” and “occupation” before blood was even dry on bedroom walls. These responses were not, as some have since characterized it internally, a messaging misstep in the tumult after the Hamas assault. It was not the failure of a few to follow robust internal mechanisms of editing and quality control, as others have claimed. It did not happen in a vacuum. Rather, HRW’s initial response was the fruition of years of politicization of its Israel-Palestine work that has frequently violated basic editorial standards related to rigor, balance, and collegiality when it comes to Israel. It was the expression of years of select historical and political framing that could always contextualize and “explain” why Jewish Israeli lives were lost in Palestinian violence. And it was the domination of HRW’s Israel-Palestine work by some voices that drown out others to the point where those who feel uncomfortable with HRW’s approach and processes – and they do exist – feel silenced. To be clear: focus on, and criticism of, Israeli policies and actions is valid for a human rights organization. But what I know from over 13 years at HRW is: * Israel has featured in the World Report annual global review of human rights I oversaw for more than a decade almost as extensively as world powers including China, Russia, and the United States, and that the Israel-Palestine chapter has always been longer than those of rights-abusing goliaths such as Iran and North Korea. * The 2021 “Apartheid” report, hailed internally in its goal to affect “narrative change,” sealed the slide. HRW knew its careful, legal argument would rarely be read in full. And there is little doubt it has not been by those – including Hamas supporters – who now bandy about the term with appalling ease. It’s a one-word gift to those who want to characterize Israel in as few words as possible with as little nuance as possible, a go-to “context” for any fate that befalls Israel and Jewish Israelis; 120 HRW researchers recently signed a petition calling for its inclusion in a press release about Israeli hostages. * Internal fora nominally dedicated to both Israel and Palestine were, in practice, mostly dedicated to expressions of outrage over Israeli abuses and their consequences, both real and speculated. The focus on Israel dominated those spaces both before and after October 7, including the links shared; the space given to colleagues to articulate their lived realities and trauma; and ultimately advocacy. * Some types of Israeli-Palestine expertise were valued more than others. There was no value placed on having a Jewish Israeli staff member who spoke Hebrew, had covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for international media, a rich academic background, and 17 years’ immersion in the country. The profile of those entrusted with HRW’s-related work is different. The only contact I had with Israel-Palestine content over the years, despite working on virtually every other area of the world, was as World Report editor. I received thinly veiled insinuations and pushback when I highlighted factual inaccuracies in the Israel-Palestine chapter that were later corrected. * HRW has so little credibility for most Israelis they do not even trust it with their corpses. Zaka, the emergency responder group that collected body parts after the Hamas massacres, said it did not want to talk to HRW because its members did not have faith the organization would not misuse and distort their eyewitness accounts of the carnage they had seen. * When I named the constellation of my experiences over years to a senior manager as feeling a lot like antisemitism, he replied: “You are probably right.” He did not ask or do anything further. Three weeks after the October 7 massacres, Human Rights Watch told staff it was “proud” of its response to the crisis. The self-affirmation failed to address output that included, but is not limited to: HRW’s first matter-of-fact announcement following the October 7 massacres that barely addressed what had happened, contrasting starkly with its thousands of statements over the years condemning a range of human rights abuses: “Palestinian armed groups carried out a deadly assault on October 7, 2023, that killed several hundred Israeli civilians and led to Israeli counterstrikes that killed hundreds of Palestinians,” Human Rights Watch said in releasing a questions and answers document about the international humanitarian law standards governing the current hostilities.” An early press release that could easily be construed as blaming the victim: “The unlawful attacks and systematic repression that have mired the region for decades will continue, so long as human rights and accountability are disregarded.” A piece on Israeli attacks on Gaza being devastating for Palestinians with disabilities that failed to mention the devastating impact of Hamas’ attacks on Israelis with disabilities. They included those murdered on October 7, among them a 17-year-old girl with muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy killed at a music festival; those who are now disabled because of the attacks; and Israeli hostages with pre-existing health conditions ranging from heart problems to diabetes. Lack of context when using controversial figures that came from a Hamas-run ministry: “[Washington Post] Reporter Adam Taylor quoted Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch Omar Shakir, who said, “Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable. In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.” It is not logical, not possible, and not the case that everyone at HRW agrees with its pre- and post-October 7 Israel work or feels safe. Instead, it is a deeply worrying indication that staff are self-censoring because they fear isolation if they speak and that nothing will be done even if they do. It is a warning that they are cowed by the way in which critics of Human Rights Watch are talked about internally, and by the tone and content of banter before and during meetings, in listservs, and in message chats. Maybe they’re also not reassured by responses like the one senior management sent me regarding a recent email I sent them, in which they said they “appreciate” my “feedback” and “learn” from it. I hope so, but I doubt it. The serious professional concerns I raised over the years with the Program Office, General Counsel, and MENA managers never went anywhere. They were always received – it appeared – through a filter of me being a Jew and/or Israeli, even though Muslim and Arab staff and those with overt political backgrounds are trusted as advocates and to oversee research. Also, my comments are not “feedback.” Rather, they amount to a charge and a challenge to Human Rights Watch: tackle the long-standing issues infecting your Israel work and the hostile internal climate that Hamas’ attacks brought into sharp relief but did not birth. Face down the conscious and unconscious biases that inform them. Address inaccuracies by omission. Do so not because you are under pressure to be seen to be listening, but because you respect the professionalism and expertise of your many thoughtful, serious colleagues from diverse backgrounds who cannot do their work without fear of stigma and retaliation if they speak. Do so because you care about the health of the organization, upholding your internal standards, and ensuring human rights advocacy is not a fig leaf for political beliefs, or worse. Do so because you want not just to claim your mantle of moral authority, but to earn it. Dani

BREAKING: Expensive Australian trip by pro-Hamas UN official was funded by Palestinian lobby groups in breach of UN's own Code of Conduct that bars experts from taking any gift, favor or remuneration. We filed papers with @antonioguterres calling for Francesca Albanese's removal.

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

2/ Dear Secretary-General Guterres, We are deeply concerned over gross violations of UN rules and basic professional ethics by Ms. Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights. Her recent trip to Australia as Special Rapporteur was sponsored by known Palestinian lobby groups in that country: The Australian Friends of Palestine Association and Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, as well as the Free Palestine Melbourne and Palestinian Christians in Australia. As part of this trip, Ms. Albanese delivered the annual Edward Said Memorial Lecture in Adelaide and made media appearances, including an address to the National Press Club, in which she repeatedly echoed the Hamas narrative, claiming Israel’s right to self-defence was “non-existent.” https://unwatch.org/u-n-special-rapporteur-criticized-for-extreme-bias-against-israel-hillel-neuer-on-sky-news/ As you know, independence and impartiality are basic requirements for UNHRC Special Procedures under Article 3 of the Code of Conduct, which requires them to be “free from any kind of extraneous influence…either direct or indirect.” I n addition, they may not “seek nor accept instructions” from any “non-governmental organization or pressure group whatsoever,” or accept any “favour, gift or remuneration” from any ”non-governmental source for activities carried out in pursuit of his/her mandate.” The lobbyists’ sponsorship of Ms. Albanese’s trip constitutes a blatantly prohibited form of favour, gift or remuneration under Article 3. The financial favour further subjects Albanese to prohibited direct or indirect influence. Indeed, these groups have urged her to sue an organization that called out her pro-Hamas remarks. All of this is on top of Ms. Albanese’s disgraceful antisemitism and support for terrorism. She has said that “America is subjugated by the Jewish Lobby.” Last year, she told a Hamas conference, “You have a right to resist.” https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=835323264351402 Since October 7th, she has whitewashed Hamas’ atrocities. She routinely portrays Israelis as Nazis. In light of the above gross violations of UN rules and basic ethics, we urge you to take action to remove Ms. Albanese immediately from her position as Special Rapporteur. Sincerely, Hillel C. Neuer Executive Director

UN officials reject the comparison between Hamas' deliberate killing of civilians and unintended civilian casualties. This echoes the Nuremberg trials, where Nazi defendants failed to equate their purposeful killings with unintended deaths caused by the Allies. The distinction between these acts is crucial for civilization. Sadly, the scandalous "Dresden defense" resurfaces at the UN, attempting to blur this line. However, it must be unequivocally rejected. (Credit: @Martin_Kramer)

@HillelNeuer - Hillel Neuer

UN officials say, “Yes, 1200 people were massacred by Hamas, but now thousands of Palestinians are killed.” And you know, that argument was made before—in the Nuremberg trials, by the head of the Einsatzgruppen, the Nazi death squads that moved around Eastern Europe and killed a million Jews and a million others. When they were brought to justice at Nuremberg, they said, “Yes, we may have done these killings but you, the allies, you killed civilians when you bombed Dresden and other cities.” And that was wholly rejected by the Nuremberg court. The notion that this Nazi defendant was trying to make—that the deliberate and purposeful killing of civilians was equal to the taking of civilian lives that is undesired, unintended and unavoidable—was absolutely rejected. Those are completely two different things. And that is the essence of civilization: to distinguish between those two. And sadly, at the United Nations, we are seeing this scandalous Dresden defense being brought up again and again, to equate the purposeful, deliberate killing of civilians, which is a crime, with the taking of civilian lives that is undesired, unintended, but unavoidable. That should be rejected completely. (Credit to @Martin_Kramer, “The Nazi case for Hamas” martinkramer.org/2023/10/26/naz…)

Video Transcript AI Summary

UN officials have accused Hamas of killing 1,400 people, but now they claim that thousands of Palestinians have been killed. This argument is similar to the one made by Nazi death squads during the Nuremberg trials. The Nazis tried to justify their killings by pointing out that the Allies had also killed civilians in bombings like Dresden. However, the Nuremberg court rejected this defense, stating that intentionally killing civilians is not the same as unintentional civilian deaths. Unfortunately, the United Nations is now witnessing a similar defense being used to equate deliberate civilian killings with unintended casualties. This comparison should be completely rejected.
