FN ger palestinierna 1,3 miljarder dollar för att stöda dem i arbetet mot Israel

Det finns inget liknande arrangemang för någon annan stat eller folkgrupp skriver Hillel Neuer från UN Watch.

U.N. gives $1.3 billion for Palestinian “legal recourse” against Israel & other “development programming”

REACTION BY UN WATCH
“There is no other example or precedent of the UN funding, training, and advising one side of a conflict to pursue legal advocacy against another side within UN bodies and other international mechanisms,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, a Geneva-based monitoring group.
“Mr. Guterres has said that the State of Israel needs to be treated as any other state, with exactly the same rules. Well, needless to say, the UN does not fund, train or advise Palestinian victims of Palestinian violations, or Israeli victims of Palestinian stabbings, car-ramming attacks and shootings, to pursue legal recourse.”
“Nor does the UN fund, train or advise Kurdish victims of Turkish, Iraqi or Iranian human rights violations, Yemeni victims of Saudi and Iranian violations of international law, or Tibetan victims of Chinese violation of human rights.”
“For some reason, however, when it comes to Israel, the UN development agencies cross the bright red line from humanitarian assistance to political advocacy.”
“We call on the United States, Canada, Australia and other democracies to ensure that their taxpayer contributions are not being misused to undermine UN institutions through an escalation of politicized attacks on Israel.”
“It is unacceptable that agencies such as UN Women are misusing U.S. taxpayer contributions to fund and train Palestinians to make submissions to the Human Rights Council to the effect that when Palestinians men beat their wives, it’s Israel’s fault.”
