Meet George Katrougalos, Chair of the UNHRC committee of “human rights experts.” He has embraced the Islamic Republic of Iran, and hailed Xi Jinping — after taking $100,000 from China. On Sept. 8, he appears before the Human Rights Council. Then we take the floor. Stay tuned.

U.N. chief António Guterres: “Let's be clear. The U.N. is 163 countries.” Last we checked, the United Nations is 193 countries... 👉

“Eliminating Hamas means eliminating a political party, and this is not a military objective. It is the elimination of Hamas that is at the heart of the genocidal logic that Israel has implemented.” — Francesca Albanese, U.N. Special Rapporteur for Hamas Rights

“We must strengthen global human rights governance… All must uphold the Golden Rule of non-interference.” — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in video statement to U.N. Human Rights Council's 2026 opening session

🇵🇸 PLO after 🇮🇱 Israel wins election to World Health Organization's Executive Board: “How have we elected Israel? Are they innovative in the field of health? Are they leaders in the area of health?” 🤔

CHINA TELLS U.N.: “The belief and religious sentiments of everyone, including Muslims, should be respected.” FORGOT TO MENTION: China has forcibly detained more than a million Uyghur Muslims in so-called “re-education camps.”

Francesca Albanese, the UN's de facto Hamas rep, blames U.S. sanctions for Georgetown University's decision to remove her: “It's such a betrayal. I used to, I had an affiliation with a U.S. university. I used to lecture there. Everything has been cut down.”

CHINA TELLS U.N.: Hong Kong political prisoner Jimmy Lai “received a fair trial for his offenses endangering national security.” FORGOT TO MENTION: Jimmy Lai's only crime was running a pro-democracy newspaper that dared to criticize Beijing.

Meet George Katrougalos: A former Greek foreign minister chairing the U.N. committee overseeing all human rights experts. He's embraced the Islamic Republic of Iran and praised Xi Jinping at an event after accepting $100,000 from China. 🧵 See his bias on full display:

China Tells U.N.: “We attach great importance to freedom of speech and the oversight role of the news media.” Forgot to Mention: This year, China sentenced pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison for running a newspaper critical of Beijing.

Russia Tells U.N.: “The cruelty with which the Kyiv regime dealt with children can only be compared with the actions of the Nazis.” Forgot To Mention: Russia has kidnapped at least 20,000 Ukrainian children and damaged or destroyed over 1,600 Ukrainian schools.

No Joke: The Islamic Republic of Iran, during a U.N. debate on summary executions, claims to “promote and protect the right to life” — then justifies its own executions as being carried out under “national law.”

Iran Tells U.N.: We support and foster “a safe and inclusive digital environment.” Forgot To Mention: For the last 60 days, the Islamic regime has blocked access to the internet and imposed a digital darkness on its people.

“It's such a betrayal. I used to, I had an affiliation with a U.S. university. I used to lecture there. Everything has been cut down...” — Francesca Albanese, the UN's de facto Hamas rep, blames U.S. sanctions for Georgetown University's decision to cut ties with her

1. There is actually something at the UN called the “Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter.” 2. Members include China, Iran, Venezuela. 3. Venezuela just spoke for the group to praise North Korea for “ensuring the full enjoyment of human rights of its people.”

No Joke: The Islamic Republic of Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, tells the U.N. that they “know firsthand the perils and devastation that terrorism poses to the peace and well-being of people.”

After murdering tens of thousands of their own civilians, the Islamic Regime in Iran tells the U.N. that it is the U.S. and Israel that “terrorize civilians, massacre innocent people, and cause maximum destruction and suffering.”

BREAKING: Secretary-General admits anti-Israel bias among UN's human rights experts, saying “many rapporteurs are totally out of control.” António Guterres previously called UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese “a horrible woman.”

Meet Tlaleng Mofokeng, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on health. She praised Hamas, promoted prostitution in Teen Vogue, and called British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak “filthy.” After tyrants and NGOs like Amnesty International lined up to praise her, Hillel Neuer took the floor:

BREAKING: Author of U.N. report placing Israel on sexual violence blacklist admits she has not personally viewed any evidence. “I made it clear to Israel I would not visit any detention facility, even if offered. It's not the responsibility of my office to do any verification.”

After the ICC removed chief prosecutor Karim Khan for sexually assaulting an employee, Francesca Albanese effectively complains that the victim shouldn't have made her allegations public in a CNN interview: “It is disrespectful for... the accused to have this toxic publicity.”

“Mr. President, the UN has become a platform of terrible lies. Israel was accused of ‘starvation.’ In truth, 500,000 tons of food were transferred to Gaza.” “UN demonization of the Jewish state has consequences. The demon of antisemitism has now been unleashed upon the world.”

No joke: this Thursday, the Islamic Regime in Iran will become Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum. Say NO to the U.N. legitimizing a regime that beats, blinds, tortures and rapes women for demanding their rights. Sign the petition now:

NO JOKE: The Islamic regime in Iran has just been elected as Vice-Chair of the U.N. Commission for Social Development, whose priority theme will be promoting democracy, gender equality, and ensuring tolerance and non-violence. Chair: “I hear no objection.”

BREAKING: The U.N. just elected the Islamic Republic of Iran as one of the Vice Presidents of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference. Bravo to the U.S., UAE, Australia, UK, France and Germany for objecting. Last time, only 🇺🇸 spoke out:

Q: Have you spoken to the U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres since the sanctions against you were announced? Albanese: “No.” Q: You haven't heard from him? “Never! Never heard from him. No—not now, not before. And I don't think after. That's okay, that's okay...” (10/7/25)

BREAKING: U.N. chief António Guterres distances himself from Francesca Albanese. This follows her rejection now by foreign ministers of France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. 🇺🇳 Spokesman: “We don't agree with much of what she says.”

🇧🇪 Belgian MEP Kris Van Dijck: “I have a big problem about how the United Nations works at this moment. The Islamic Republic of Iran was nominated to a U.N. committee shaping policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. How is that possible?”

“I can still hear the chants at Durban... the struggle against apartheid requires a dismantling of Israel.” Former Canadian Minister of Justice Irwin Cotler recalls the visceral hate at the UN's Durban conference and its lasting impact 25 years later:

“I do know very well what is antisemitism. It's broader than hate against Jews. It's hate and discriminations against Semite people, including Arab people. Antisemitism is very real against Jewish people and against Arab people.” — Francesca Albanese, repeating debunked myth

“My childhood was stolen. I was taken as a captive to the Gaza Strip, where I was sold to a Jihadist, and forced to marry him and bear two children. I lived there for years in slavery.” — Fawzia Amin Sido, Yazidi survivor of ISIS sexual slavery, freed from Gaza by the IDF
