Pressure to silence criticism of Israeli violations

There is systematic and organized pressure, particularly from the US and Israel lobby, on the United Nations to prevent criticism of Israeli human rights violations. Lobby groups have been set up specifically to police the UN's approach to Palestine, smearing UN human rights defenders and staff who speak out against Israeli abuses. This pressure has led to a tempered reaction from the UN, with a different tone compared to other regions. Lobby groups also have access to high-level UN officials and exert influence on the organization. This pressure works by instilling fear and smearing individuals, creating a climate of impunity for Israeli atrocities. European governments, like Germany, have been complicit in this pressure and have used the Holocaust as a shield to justify the destruction of Palestinians. The pressure from the US and Israel lobby also extends to Western corporate media, which plays a complicit role in misrepresenting the situation on the ground and silencing criticism of Israeli violations.
