�Israel�s UN mission deceives member states in NY

Days of Palestine, New York �Permanent Israeli mission at UN was accused on Saturday of misleading envoys of permanent missions of other member states in New York.

A credible official at one of the permanent missions for a European country told Days of Palestine that the Israeli mission had circulated misleading information about its human rights record in occupied Palestine.

�We received emails from the Israeli mission, including direct instructions, which is against our sovereignty as a state, not to believe the recent Human Rights Watch�s report and rely only on two organisations they recommended,� the official said.

�When we googled these NGO�s, we knew that they are Israelis,� the official, who preferred to keep the name of his Western-European country, unknown, added.

He further criticised the Israeli behaviour at the UN, which is often supported by the United States. �We are disgusted in some of the European countries about what Israel and the US are doing,� he said, �It is rather shameful that Israel attempts to mislead us.�

Showing his anger while speaking to Days of Palestine, he said: �Israel should understand that European countries have certain red lines when it comes to Human rights. We cannot stand with Israel when it comes to human rights violations such as killing children in Gaza and before in Lebanon.

�There is now more awareness among member states at the UN where they do not take the Israeli account unquestioned.�

Meanwhile, the official said he would reveal the name of some organisations that the Israeli occupation is using to mislead member states and promote its �false account� regarding human rights.

A number of leading international human rights organisations, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have several times accused the Israeli occupation of carrying out flagrant human rights violations against Palestinians.

The latest massive genocidal human rights violation took place last summer during the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, when the Israeli occupation killed more than 2,260 Palestinians, UN said, around 500 of whom were children.
