Recent comments by Miloon Kothari, a member of the @UN_HRC Israel Commission of Inquiry, questioning Israel’s UN membership and speaking of “the Jewish lobby” controlling social media are unacceptable and offensive.
Antisemitism has absolutely no place in the @UN.- Simon Manley (@SimonManleyFCDO) July 28, 2022
A Commission of Inquiry is different from a never ending Inquisition. Blatantly biased, anti-semitic comments are completely unworthy of the UN, the UN Human Rights Commission, and are a disgrace to institutions supposedly dedicated to the rule of law. https://t.co/d5yW60J8ve

🇨🇦 is shocked by recent comments made by a member of the UN Commission of Inquiry on #Israel/OPT
🇨🇦 has concerns with this COI’s one-sided nature & open-ended mandate. This language is unacceptable in any situation, but particularly shocking coming from a member of the #COI

Bravo to 🇫🇷 France for denouncing antisemitism of UN investigator: “Strong disapproval of the remarks of Miloon Kothari, member of the Commission of Inquiry on OPT & Israel. We must be ‘uncompromising in the contemporary fight against anti-Semitism’ as President Macron has said.” https://t.co/SVvhl2VrTs

.@StateSEAS Lipstadt & I unequivocally condemn the outrageous, antisemitic remarks by a member of the Israel COI. We call on @mbachelet to denounce these comments & take immediate, concrete action to ensure @UN_HRC investigators remain neutral & objective https://t.co/BFN5XGGlZb pic.twitter.com/VAdmumQkwP

There should be no place for such antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment at the @UN. These remarks by a COI commissioner at @UN_HRC cannot go unaddressed. https://t.co/9pz1LOVYyi
