The U.N. Genocide Report Against Israel Is an Assault on Critical Thinking

The United Nations Human Rights Council’s latest report on Gaza, which concludes Israel is committing a genocide, is a case study in how international bodies can dress propaganda in the language of law. 

Presented as a “legal analysis” from a trio led by Navi Pillay, the former U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, anyone who reads the text with even a modest degree of critical thinking will see that it is not an impartial investigation. It is an advocacy document that begins with a verdict and works backward, collecting fragments of information that support its claim while excluding anything that would complicate or contradict it.

The most surprising aspect of the report is not what it claims, but what it omits.
