The three members of the bash-Israel commission had been no higher.
Pillay, a former UN high commissioner of Human Rights, has known as Israel an “apartheid” state and demanded sanctions on it.
Kothari labored on a report meant to whitewash Palestinian terrorism as “resistance” and falsely accuses Jerusalem of “massacring” and “ethnically cleansing” Palestinians.
