Yuli Edelstein

Edelstein referred to the report accusing Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza, calling it "anti-Semitic". He was expected to tell the UN chief that the report "must not be an expression of the new anti-Semitism, which is directed at Israel's soldiers."
Why It’s Conflation
The report accused both sides of war crimes. Its lead author, Richard Goldstone, is a Jewish judge from South Africa. An Israeli minister called it antisemitic before meeting the UN Secretary-General.
What Actually Happened
The UN mission found that Israel committed actions amounting to war crimes in Gaza, and that Palestinian armed groups had also committed war crimes.
