Israel: Appointment of Outspoken Critic of Israel as Chair of Gaza Commission of Inquiry a "Travesty of Justice"
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israel's Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor wrote to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon regarding the appointment of William Schabas to chair the Gaza commission of inquiry: "Yesterday, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) set a new record for anti-Israel bias....It is a complete travesty of justice to invite one of the most outspoken critics of Israel to serve as its judge and jury. This is like inviting ISIS to chair the UN's World Interfaith Harmony Week." "William Schabas...has repeatedly called for the prosecution of Prime Minister Netanyahu and former President Shimon Peres....In light of his hate-fuelled rants, one doesn't need to be a fortune teller to predict the outcome of any inquiry led by Mr. Schabas."
