The UN discredits itself: UNGA 2015-2023, 154 resolutions against Israel, 71 against all other countries _combined_.

Of course it stems from the anti-Israeli bias of its members: a single Jewish state against 57 Muslim states.

the number one cause of child mortality today is Israel.

That is an insane comment.

And yet, it's fact, just look at the numbers world-wide :(.

I think this was an even clearer example of the UN's anti-Israel bias: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/debunked-un-off...

Very blatant disinformation from a top UN official (leader of OCHA), no retraction or apology, and no consequences.

Or it stems from Israel committing more war crimes than other nations

Does it seem plausible to you that during the years of the Syrian civil war, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Tigray war in Ethiopia, the war in South Sudan and countless others (conflicts which, in total, claimed the lives of millions), Israel would commit war crimes at a ratio of 2:1 against the entire world, combined?

In contrast, the number of deaths from both Israeli and Palestinian sides in the same time period was several hundreds.

It’s just proportional to the horrors it commits. Don’t blame the judge for your own crimes.

It's part of a broader phenomena: feelings over facts. Doesn't matter how many commissions say it's genocide and how much evidence is presented, people don't "feel" it is true, therefore it is not true. Zero difference between these people, climate change deniers, and anti-vaxers.
