They are openly pro-Israeli and therefore not independent.

All it takes is 5 minutes on UN Watch's website to see that their main activity is the defence of Israel's image and agenda (WHAT WE DO Combatting Antisemitism and Anti-Israel bias). This is not a neutral body.

I know and I was being sarcastic. Leveraging children suffering is an effective way to move people and influence public perception, which is probably why the Israelis invented the story of babies beheaded and thrown into ovens. I have seen actual footage of starving and dead Palestinian children though, this is undeniably happening.

I've been on Ramy Abdu's Twitter and it is an interesting source of information regarding Israel's actions – although being Palestinian, he is of coursed biased, as are UN Watch (which you quote here) who are openly pro-Israeli. I think it is better to quote independent parties (neither Israeli nor Palestinian) where possible.

For the first time in this topic, I agree.

I will do that a little later this evening, I haven't forgotten about it.

COGAT is an Israeli government organisation, and therefore one can legitimately question their independence and reliability.

I checked this guy out a few weeks ago, and at first glance he seems to be one of the many "successful entrepreneurs" in Pattaya, providing their insights on what it's like to live the high life in Thailand on social media platforms… a.k.a YouTubers.

Well fed? A couple of excerpts from that article below. With only a trickle of aid getting into the starving north, foreign governments have turned to airdrops as “a way to show that they’re doing something,” said Shira Efron of the Israel Policy Forum. The problem is that “airdrops are as inefficient as they are dangerous,” according to a source from an international NGO working in Gaza who asked to remain anonymous. [...] Tragically, on Monday, people drowned as they tried to get the crates landing in the water, witnesses saying some of the dead were children.

A great summary of the situation.

I confirm this technique works.

If you consider me to be a waste of time, you may want to consider not replying to my posts when they are not even addressed to you.

The article I posted initially about the IDF seemed pretty accurate to me. Regarding the alleged antisemitism of EuroMed, I will look into it tomorrow and get back to you. Now I really need to go.

"Derogatory" is excessive, you are interpreting based on your knowledge of my views on this issue, which is normal. You and I could debate this all night, but that is not what I am looking for, I am content to post the occasional source which readers might find interesting.

Anything can be debated and "defended" for prolonged periods, provided one has the time to devote to it (which I don't, to be honest). So no, not deflecting, just cutting short because I have to go do other stuff. I believe my views are clear (as are yours). People can read the material I refer to, as they can yours.

I have already explained in this thread how, IMO, the notion of antisemitism is used politically in this context. You and I disagree on the core issue and I have no interest in debating it with you now when all my points have been clearly expressed and sourced across the 70+ pages of this thread.

I will not be dragged into a bickering session.

You know what my views on current events in Gaza are. As I said, those reading can read my post, then Brian's, and decide for themselves what they believe is the truth.

This quote is from UN Watch. From their website's "Our work" page: UN Watch is a non-profit organization dedicated to holding the United Nations accountable to its founding principles. Through its regular monitoring, UN Watch is a key resource for information and analysis about the UN. UN Watch is a leading voice combating antisemitism and anti-Israel bias at the UN engaging in advocacy at the highest levels of government and countering misinformation in the media. https://unwatch.org/about-us/our-work/ I have posted my source (United Nations website), you haver posted yours. Those reading this thread can reach their informed conclusions.

Yes, I know Falk and his problems started in the early 2010s when he started reporting on what was going on in the West Bank and Gaza. Ban-Ki-Moon was subjected to heavy political pressure at the time, but since he left the UN, he has de facto been on Falk's side and repeatedly accused Israel of practising Apartheid.

Yes of course, the UN is a conspiracy theory group. This (tragic) farce gets more absurd each passing day.

Ah yes, I forgot the United Nations and Euro-Med (an independent Human Rights advocacy group based in Geneva) are now antisemitic. Another redefinition of note.

Can't beat the Israelis in terms of redefinitions. Calling its army "the most moral army in the world", for instance, is an interesting one. From the UN's Relief Web: Horrific testimonies: Israeli army tortures Palestinians in Gaza physically and psychologically As Israel continues its genocide in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented the Israeli army's sadistic abuse and torture of Palestinians there. This includes purposefully causing severe physical and psychological harm, which will undoubtedly have long-term effects, after storming their homes and shelter centres or attacking them on forced evacuation routes and so-called "safe corridors". https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/horrific-testimonies-israeli-army-tortures-palestinians-gaza-physically-and-psychologically-enar#:~:text=Euro-Med Monitor confirmed that,%2C displacement centres%2C and neighbourhoods.

Fully backed up and easy to check.

I can't go any further as it would be deemed off-topic. People need to research it themselves.
