Congress can add a phrase withholding funds currently earmarked by the U.N. for the Israel Inquiry, writes AnneBayefsky. 'If it doesn’t, Americans’ millions will pay for the most lethal anti-Israel enterprise ever launched in U.N. history.'
In 2021, the United Nations Human Rights Council, the U.N.’s top human rights body, created an unprecedented permanent Commission of Inquiry designed to target Israel, applying double standards to the Jewish state and questioning its place in the family of nations. The U.N. General Assembly decided to fund this antisemitic fishing expedition at the end of December 2021 over the negative votes of both the United States and Israel.
The omnibus bill dedicates money to strengthen normalization agreements with Israel and to counter antisemitism. At exactly the same time, it funds the council’s new multimillion-dollar venture to deny normalization and promote antisemitism. In a holdover from prior years, the omnibus bill says money for the Human Rights Council itself is dependent on the secretary of state determining and reporting that the council is “taking significant steps to remove Israel as a permanent agenda item and ensure integrity in the election of members to such Council.”
