After the Iranian-sponsored Hamas terrorist group invaded Israeli communities and massacred families, and fired thousands of rockets from Gaza across Israel, UN Watch refuted misinformation and exposed the apologists of terrorism, while amplifying the voices of democracy, human rights and decency. See below a selection of our posts and interviews.

Dear @Amnesty: Your hero Ahed Tamimi just posted, “Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a joke. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls. We are waiting for you.” @Amnesty, will you condemn? pic.twitter.com/z0kBs3jsHr

Blood Libel: Then & Now
Just as the lie that Jews murdered Christian children incited pogroms in medieval Europe, today's lie that Israel targets children in Gaza incites pogroms against Jews worldwide.

Proving Abba Eban's timeless observation: “If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring the earth was flat and Israel had flattened it, it would pass by 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.” This UN text fails to condemn the Hamas massacre or to support Israel's right to self-defence. https://t.co/3FlqAHcdH6

“Proportionality does not mean that the defensive force has to be equal to the attack. It means you can use force proportionate to the defensive objective—to stop, repel & prevent further attacks.

Based on the lie that Israel bombed a hospital, dozens of foreign ministers, politicians & human rights groups demanded accountability.
Now we know it was fired by Iran's Islamic Jihad.

If you're just waking up now: so it turns out yesterday's New York Times headline, “Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say,” was a big lie.

Prediction: all the folks (like Amnesty's Agnes Callamard) who just blamed Israel for attacking a hospital when it was in fact a misfired Palestinian rocket, will never apologize, never condemn the terrorist group, and never draw alternative conclusions to those they just drew.

Here's Amnesty International chief @AgnesCallamard rushing to condemn Israel for what now appears to be a misfired rocket by Islamic Jihad that fell short and bombed their own people.

Gaza Report say this was not an Israeli attack on a hospital, as per Ilhan Omar, but a misfired Palestinian rocket — which “detonated a stockpile of munitions held on the hospital grounds.”

Why did UNRWA delete their tweet about Hamas' theft of 24,000 liters of fuel?
