UN Watch: Qatari Envoy Hoping to Chair UN Forum Is ‘Rabid Antisemite’

(JNS) Hend al-Muftah, Qatar’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, is bidding to become chair of the U.N. Forum on Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law. She has made antisemitic and bigoted remarks, a report released by the UN Watch nonprofit organization reveals.

She has “a long record of publishing racist and classically antisemitic tropes about Jews, bigoted attacks on gays, and spreading false information and conspiracy theories about Western societies and liberalism,” added the Geneva-based nonprofit.

In a letter sent to Ambassador Federico Villegas of Argentina, president of the United Nations Human Rights Council, UN Watch urged him to reject al-Muftah’s candidacy to chair the forum.

In its report, UN Watch documented al-Muftah’s numerous antisemitic remarks made online over more than a decade, including a Twitter post from 2012 in which she wrote, “The Jews focused their investments in industry and the media, and that is why they dominated, tyrannized and ruled the world.”

In separate Twitter posts, she wrote that “Jews are our enemies,” promoted anti-Israel conspiracy theories, called for the “expulsion of Jews from Palestine” and shared an antisemitic video in which a child talks about trampling on the corpses of Jews.
