Over the past 30 days, the United Nations General Assembly passed more than a dozen resolutions that condemn the Jewish State of Israel. Zero were passed condemning other nations.
One U.S. official denounced the UN resolutions, saying:
“It is deplorable that the United Nations – an institution founded upon the idea that all nations should be treated equally – should be so often used by member states to treat one state in particular, Israel, unequally.”
The hypocrisy and biased attacks the Jewish state faces at the United Nations are an outrage Friend of Israel.
Time and time again, this meeting turns into a parade of world leaders – including dictators from countries with abhorrent human rights records – who use the podium to single out and delegitimize the Jewish state.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has used the UN stage to accuse Israel of “terror against [Palestinian] people, our land and our holy sites,” while saluting Palestinian terrorists as "honorable martyrs and courageous prisoners.”
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has used his moment at the UN stage to call Israel a “rogue Zionist regime,” “apartheid,” and the “greatest threat to regional and global peace and stability.”
Anti-Israel actions and bias are also seen in UN sub-committees, which continue to devote an inordinate amount of time to condemning the Jewish state.
Over the years, more resolutions have been passed condemning Israel than all resolutions condemning genocide, warfare, and human rights violations combined.
As many in the international community continue to show they care more about hating Israel than addressing the world’s problems, our work to ensure strong American support for Israel becomes even more crucial.
But American support for Israel will not simply happen. We must advocate for it, cultivate allies, and work closely with lawmakers in Congress.
