The United Nations envoy from Qatar deletes the Twitter account after protesting for insulting Jews

Qatari ambassador to the United Nations, Hend Al-Muftah, deleted his Twitter account after it was revealed that he had posted anti-Semitic tweets, calling Jews “enemies” and calling for a “curse of God” against homosexuals.

Hend Al-Muftah canceled his account a few days after losing his post as chairman of the United Nations Forum on Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law.

UN Human Rights Council President Federico Villegas announced two weeks ago that Patricia Hermanns, Permanent Representative of the Bahamas, will fill the post in his place.

Three days after the announcement, the NGO UN Watch sent a letter to Federico Villegas in which he detailed the tweets of the Qatari diplomat and expressed “serious concern” for the appointment of the UN envoy as President of the forum.

“Qatar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva has a long history of publishing racist tropes about Jews, bigoted attacks on gays, disinformation and conspiracy theories about Western societies and liberalism,” he said in the UN Watch letter.

Among the anti-Semitic tweets posted by Hend Al-Muftah you can read: “Jews concentrate their investments in industry and the media, which is why they rule the world in a tyrannical regime”, or even: “American Zionists control the media in the United States, and this is how they manage to achieve their anti-Islamic goals everywhere ”.
