'Israel' demands UN investigators to quit, citing 'anti-Semitism'

"Israel's" weapon of choice, anti-Semitism, is used against UN commissioners looking into Israeli war crimes and massacres.

On Friday, "Israel" accused members of a UN commission investigating Israeli crimes, massacres, and assaults against Palestinians of making and defending anti-Semitic remarks, clearly using the Israeli weapon of choice to open fire on anyone who dares think to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its endless crimes.

After using the "anti-Semitism" card, "Israel" demanded that the members resign and the commission be disbanded, knowing that the commission is set to look into Israeli war crimes against Palestinians. 

It is worth noting that only a few hours earlier, a Palestinian teenager was shot dead on Friday by Israeli occupation forces live bullets in the village of Al-Mughayer, close to Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. 

Israeli ambassador to the UN, Meirav Eilon Shahr, wrote in a letter, "It is time to disband this commission," arguing there is "no possible way" for the 3 members of the commission to "carry out their roles in an effective manner."

"As such, (I) call on all three of them to resign immediately," she said.

Miloon Kothari, one of the commissioners, had alluded to a "Jewish lobby" questioning whether "Israel" even deserves a UN membership, reigniting claims that the council is biased against "Israel".

"We are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by, whether it is the Jewish lobby or it is specific NGOs, a lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us," Kothari said.

Ambassadors from Britain and the United States also tweeted their outrage at Kothari's remarks.

“Israel” won't cooperate with UN rights team

In February, “Israel” claimed that the head of a UN investigation into practices by the Israeli occupation forces in Palestinian territories is "biased", thus refusing to cooperate with the inquiry. 

Navi Pillay, a former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, was appointed last July to head a high-level investigation into "all underlying root causes" of the ongoing Israeli massacres in the region.

In a letter addressed to Pillay, “Israel” accused her of "championing an anti-Israel agenda and for numerous anti-Israel pronouncements.”

Because Commissioner Pillay was digging too deep into the Israeli doings and refuting their story, the Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lior Haiat told reporters "the fact that she was appointed to this commission is actually a disgrace.”

The Israeli Foreign Ministry refused to cooperate in the investigation, declaring, "We will not be cooperating with this commission.”
