A year after its first report, Israel's warnings about this Commission of Inquiry have been realized. In just a year, this Commission and its three Commissioners have used antisemitic tropes, they have denied Israel's right to exist as a member of the United Nations, they have attacked the widely embraced IHRA working definition of antisemitism, and they have come out in support of BDS. Their political activism only serves to advance pre-existing biased prejudices against Israel, under the guise of a supposedly independent UN mandate.

The claims and false accusations against Israel presented in the latest report are widely based on so-called public hearings which would be better described as kangaroo trials. The COI also appears to reject all NGO submissions and official public records that do not fit its prejudged narrative.

Israel has a robust and independent civil society which is composed of thousands of NGOs, human rights defenders, national and international media outlets, that can operate freely throughout the year.​
