UN 'Expert' peddles "Israel are the Nazis"

The "Jewish lobby" controls social media, a UN expert tasked with probing the Jewish state told an anti-Israel website on July 25.

Miloon Kothari made the antisemitic remarks as he sat down with Mondoweiss' David Kattenburg. A long-time pro-Palestinian activist, Kattenburg once asserted that "the Nazis would have been impressed" with what he described as the Israeli "terrorist apartheid regime."

Kothari is one of three members of the 'UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel,' which is carrying out an unprecedented open-ended investigation into Israel's treatment of Palestinians. The commissionâ€™s first 18-page report, published in June, accused the government in Jerusalem of everything from "gender-based violence" to hindering "Palestinian democratic processes."

At the time, news organizations like CNN, Reuters, AFP, The Washington Post, and the Associated Press were all too eager to parrot the UN's slanted conclusions. Yet these same outlets have so far ignored Kothari's most recent statements, which fall within the widely-adopted IHRA working definition of antisemitism.

Can antisemitic, pro-Palestinian "experts" like Kothari and Pillay be trusted to approach the Arab-Israeli conflict without bias? Perhaps it's time for the media to ask this fundamental question.
