“A one-sided, biased approach that does nothing to advance the prospects for peace.” That is how the US State Department characterized the June 7 United Nations Commission of Inquiry report on alleged Israeli misdeeds.
In December, the UN General Assembly approved an unprecedented open-ended probe into Israel’s treatment of Palestinians that was proposed in the aftermath of the 11-day war initiated by the Gaza-based Hamas terror group. The commission’s first 18-page report, which was welcomed by the Palestinian Authority, Hamas and Iran, accuses Israel of everything from “gender-based violence” to hindering “Palestinian democratic processes.”
Despite the documented bias of the three-member panel (see, for example, here, here and here), much of the media failed to critically scrutinize its initial “findings,” which were largely recycled versions of previous, debunked, allegations.
