UN launches 65 million dollar legal pogrom to hunt down Israelis and smear Israel as a criminal state

The United Nations, including twenty-one of its agencies that work in the "occupied Palestinian territory," has made a deal with the Palestinian government to pay eight UN bodies 65 million dollars between 2018 and 2022 ($64,838,510) to engage in lawfare against the UN member state of Israel.

The eight UN agencies/bodies are: the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNICEF - the children's fund, the UN Development Program, UN Women, UNESCO, UN Habitat, the World Health Organization, and UNRWA - the Palestinian refugee agency.

The deal, first signed and disseminated in Arabic back on June 15, 2017, is part of the "UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for the occupied Palestinian territory for 2018-2022."

Lawfare at the UN - which in Israel's case goes by the stage name of "accountability" - includes accusing Israel of war crimes, apartheid, crimes against humanity; sending spurious cases to the International Criminal Court; engaging in boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigns to destroy the economic well-being of Israel, and making false and hysterical accusations of violations of fabricated "international law," in particular criminalizing Israel's right of self-defense.

The antisemitic goal is unambiguous: the demonization and destruction of the Jewish state.

The UN Development Assistance Framework includes the following:

"Strategic Priority 1: Supporting Palestine's path to Independence

...the UNCT will focus its interventions on providing support for Palestinian institutions, civil society and individuals to increase the effective use of international mechanisms to uphold accountability. This will be built on increasing knowledge of rights and mechanisms, strengthening capacities to document violations and their impact and on sharpening the ability to advocate effectively for rights to be respected...

Outcome 1:

Human rights mechanisms are increasingly engaged to hold Israel accountable for its obligations under international law. The UN will increase its support for Palestinian institutions (state and non-government) and Palestinian victims of violations to effectively monitor, advocate and seek legal recourse for violations by the occupying power. This will include training, capacity-building and technical advice to ensure that Palestinian victims and institutions are equipped with the knowledge and tools to effectively access international accountability mechanisms in order to hold Israel accountable for its violations under international law. It will also aim to strengthen the capacity of Palestinian organizations to advocate effectively for the rights of Palestinians in the occupied territory. The UN will also strengthen its own advocacy on the impact of Israeli violations on Palestine's development prospects, including through joint activities that clearly communicate the effect that the occupation and breaches of international law have on the ability of Palestine to develop economically, socially, environmentally and politically, including the responsibility of Israel vis-à-vis Palestine's implementation of the SDGs
