The UN, like most western organizations, is biased in favor of Israel. Meaning, this reporting is what favorable coverage looks like. You should read unfavorable coverage, it's much much worse. It took the UN a long time to acknowledge Israel even did anything wrong.

The idea that the UN is biased in favor of Israel — or frankly is a reliable narrator on any topic — is laughable.

The current president of the UN HRC is from Indonesia, which has been backsliding dramatically on human rights over the last decade. I’ll expect to see a UNHRC report on that roughly never.

The UN is a political tool at best, and frankly a joke.

The UN is a political tool absolutely - and it's one that's biased in favor of Israel.

Look, you have to understand that you and I are looking at this from a western lense. The west is EXTREMELY pro-israel. So your Overton window isnt just shifted a little buddy. It's fucking whiplashed alllllll the way to one side. So yes, from your perspective or mine the UN might appear as not pro Israel.

But um, they are, and quite a bit too. Again, if you want to see actual real anti-israel reporting, read stuff from Iran. You will surely notice it sounds very, very different from how the UN portrays Israel.
