How the UN Uses Propaganda to Support Terrorism Against Israel
(Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs) Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch - The latest report of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) established by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in 2021 with an open-ended mandate to vilify Israel claims to focus on "attacks on educational facilities and religious and cultural sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory," leaving the impression that Israel arbitrarily attacked the sites without justification. The accounts of the attacks are devoid of any recognition of the intentional use of the sites by Hamas as bases for operations or places to store weaponry. The CoI's complaints regarding Israel's investments in developing the many historical sites in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem verge on ludicrous. Judea and Samaria are the cradle of the ancestral Jewish homeland. It was in these areas that Jewish people first settled. The excavations and archaeological digs prove, time after time, that entire sections of the Bible are supported by real artifacts. The Jewish people settled in the Land of Israel over 1,200 years before the birth of Christianity, and 1,800 years before the birth of Islam in 610. While Israel is the epitome of the return of an indigenous nation to its ancestral homeland, in the eyes of the CoI, the liberation of Judea and Samaria from the illegal Jordanian invasion suddenly rendered the area "Palestinian territory" that must be free of Jews.
