Miloon Kothari - UNHRC

===Miloon Kothari - UNHRC===
In 2022, Islamic [[Pakistan]] sponsored [[UNHRC]] inquiry targeting Israel, under Miloon Kothari and another anti-Israel bigot.<ref>Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer Tweeted:
<blockquote>
Bravo to the United Kingdom for calling out UNHRC commission of inquiry member Miloon Kothari for antisemitism. Make no mistake: when it comes to membership on the Pakistan-sponsored UNHRC inquiry targeting Israel, this kind of hatred is not a bug, it’s a feature.</blockquote>

In a July 2022 interview with radical Anti-Israel Mondoweiss, Miloon Kothari stated that "We are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by – whether it is the Jewish lobby or specific NGOs, a lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us..."

Kothari has been accused by the United States, Czechia, Germany, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, Australia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungry, Belgiumref name=palwatch-2aug2022/> and Italy and the president of the UNHRC of making antisemitic remarks disputing Israel's right to exist and supporting antisemitic conspiracy theories about the "Jewish Lobby" controlling social media.<ref>Tovah Lazaroff, [https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-713501 UNHRC President: Jewish Lobby remark is reasonably considered antisemitic], ''JPost'', July 30, 2022 .</ref>
But the [[Palestinian Authority]] supported , Kothari's hate, as a pattern, it chose to side with Antisemitism and hate.

<blockquote>
When the member of the recently established UN Human Rights Council "Commission of Inquiry," Miloon Kothari, expressed anti-Semitic hate speech and denial of Israel's right to be a UN member, 12 western democracies and the EU were quick to condemn him. Standing out in support of the hate speech was the Palestinian Authority, whose Foreign Ministry rushed to defend the Antisemitism and condemn Israel for condemning it.
“The [PA] Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the attack of incitement and deception that [Israeli] occupation state transitional Prime Minister Yair Lapid carried out against the UN Human Rights Council investigative committee.”
[WAFA, official PA news agency, Aug. 1, 2022]
The countries that condemned the anti-Semitic hate of Kothari included, the USA, the UK, Canada, France, Australia, the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungry, Belgium and Italy.
Significantly, while the PA was adamant to criticize Israel’s condemnation of the Antisemitism, it was silent about all the other condemnations, not wanting to insult its donors.
Referring to that fact that Israel has predominantly ignored the openly biased agenda of the UN ...
The reason the PA was so quick to defend Kothari, is because the statements he made predominantly reflect similar statements made over the years by PA officials.
As Palestinian Media Watch has repeatedly shown, the PA constantly denies Israel’s right to exist and adopts the same anti-Semitic tropes.</blockquote></ref>
