The United Nations Human Rights Council is holding a discussion today (Wednesday) on a report accusing both Israel and Hamas of war crimes.
Before the discussion, Meirav Leshem Gonen, the mother of 23-year-old Romi Gonen, told the council members that there is only one side they should be on, the side that opposes the kidnappers and rapists of Hamas.
Leshem Gonen emotionally described how she was forced to listen to her daughter's kidnapping over the phone.
"I'm the mother of Romi Gonen, a 23-year-old woman who was hunted by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023," she said. "Trying to escape from [their] murderous hands, she was shot while driving in a car with three other young people. As the only survivor, she was brutally dragged by her long, beautiful hair from the car, along the road."
"I was a witness to this reality while speaking with her on the phone," she recounted. "Hearing her helplessness and frustration without being able to help my baby."
"That was 257 days ago. Romi and 19 other hostages are still being held incommunicado in the Gaza Strip to this day.
"I stand before you today not just as a mother, but also a voice for women who have endured unimaginable suffering, whose pain is not acknowledged. When women's bodies are used as political tools, when their dignity is set aside because they are not on the 'right side,' it is a badge of shame for us all," she said.
She accused the Human Rights Council of trivializing the rapes and sexual violence committed by Hamas and the others who carried out the massacre and held hostages by "reducing their suffering to mere 'parading of women as trophies."

The UN helped the terrorists
God bless this lady but she no doubt wasted her breath on deaf ears.
They do nothing about real horrors except concoct moral equivalencies.
Some of the terrorists worked for the UN. It’s all a big scam
“...a report accusing both Israel and Hamas of war crimes.”
I’m a little confused. Hamas leaves the Gaza and goes into Israel at Kisufim and Re’im, killed and took a number of other hostages of which some they have killed and the others they are refusing to let go. Israel outside the Gaza, fights back and after being refused their people, started destroying the enemy that attacked them, and they are both being charged as war crimes.
Hamas is not a country. They are a terrorist organization so they have no war capacity. They have only crimninal actions. But as long as Gaza allows them to work out of their country, they are an accessory after the fact.
This is not a war, it is criminal acts and the Isralis are corralling criminals that kidnapped, killed, and tortured people.

The old League of Nations was just ineffective. The UN has evolved into an evil, power-hungry monstrosity. If it were only a scam, it might be acceptable. Grifters gotta grift, so long as nobody gets hurt. But this is beyond the pale.
She won’t find any sympathy at that evil globalist entity.
You want the United Nations who supports child trafficking, terrorist activities, slavery and despot regimes to condemn HAMAS... Good luck with that.
Their aid workers come from HAMAS ranks and even participated in the Oct. 7th massacre. The UN should be dissolved and abandoned as organization. They do not serve their purpose.
It's the true face of Islam.
Biden says the same thing
