Miloon Kothari's letter is a transparent ploy to deflect the criticism he has come under. It took him 8 days, 19 delegations, HRC President, UN SG's Spokesperson, UN SR on FoRB & countless organizations to speak out against his antisemitic comments, for him to finally react. 1/4

This also follows a failed attempt by Ms. Navi Pillay to justify his clear antisemitic comments. She defended the indefensible. 2/4

This dark episode of the HRC demonstrates the deeply-rooted prejudices held by the CoI & its Commissioners agst Israel & the Jewish People. It highlights many problems about this CoI, which is composed by biased activists with an unlimited & unprecedented mandate to attack 🇮🇱.3/4

If the UN is committed to its own standards of independence & impartiality, and if it is sincere in its fight against antisemitism, it must firmly act. Israel continues to call for the resignation of all three compromised Commissioners, as well as the disbanding of this CoI. 4/4

Thank you Commissioner Kothari for your clarification of statements made in your Mondoweiss interview. You apologised & noted with regret any offence in language used. However, the real apology should come from those who defamed you & deny occupation & apartheid of 🇵🇸 occurs.

The anti-Semitism card is starting to lose all effect and meaning. Especially when it's used to bash human rights defenders and anti-apartheid activists
