Title: Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
Reality: The report was written by a 3 person UNHRC commission, which itself is seated by Ethiopia, Congo, Sudan, and Qatar.
- cuillevel3 1y agoI had to look this up on Wikipedia and remembered this is the 19 year old UNHRC. They have never been objective in regards to the Middle East conflict.
- dotancohen 1y agoIt's easy to confuse them with the UNHCR, which I believe is a reputable body.
- pyuser583 1y agoI'm sorry but Qatar is part of neutral commission? Israel just bombed them. It was a bad for Israel to do, but this isn't "third-party."

- SirSavary 1y ago> Reality: The report was written by a 3 person UNHRC commission, which itself is seated by Ethiopia, Congo, Sudan, and Qatar. Your framing that "3 people from Ethiopia/Congo/Sudan/Qatar wrote the report" is both incorrect and deeply racist. Edit: and to make it clear, the report was authored by the "Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel" which is made up of the following three members: - Ms. Navanethem Pillay (South Africa) - Mr. Miloon Kothari (India) - Mr. Chris Sidoti (Australia) You can read more about the commission here: https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/co-israel/index https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/co-israel/index
- dotancohen 1y agoThat's not how I phrased it. I said that this is a 3-person report commissioned by the UNHRC. I then mentioned known human rights abusers who chair the UNHRC.
