    Meet Sarah Douglas, the Deputy Chief of Peace and Security at neutral UN Women. Last week she spoke to the UN from home next to a giant “Palestine” poster. Turns out she's also endorsed 153 tweets since Oct. 7 accusing Israel of “genocide” & other sins: unwatch.org/exposed-un-wom… 🧵

    2/ UN Women staff are obliged to be impartial. Yet Deputy Chief @saridug gushingly tweets of meeting Hanan Ashrawi, a former PLO official who has promoted antisemitic blood libels, praises suicide bombers, and justified the Hamas massacre of October 7th. x.com/saridug/status…

    3/ Sarah Douglas endorsed tweets accusing “the forces of empire” of helping Israel commit “genocide” and America of funding and arming “the genocide of Palestinians.” Yet this UN Women Deputy Chief hasn't liked a single tweet condemning Hamas for its open calls for genocide.

    4/ UN officials are barred from partisan campaigning. Yet UN Women's Sarah Douglas routinely endorses tweets by far-left politicians: Rashida Tlaib claiming Israel “is starving Gaza”; AOC calling to condition aid to Israel; and “IfNotNow” endorsing pressure on Senator Warren.

    6/ Now Sarah Douglas, deputy chief of UN Women, deleted her entire account: x.com/saridug. Also on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sarah-dougl… I knew she'd do that, so I saved all the screenshots. 👏 U.S. Senator Rick Scott just called for her removal:
