Friend of Israel...I want to be sure you’re aware of the U.N.'s latest campaign against the Jewish state
Israel 15…Iran 1

Dear Friend of Israel,
The numbers above illustrate yet another year of hostility and bias against the Jewish state at the United Nations.
In total, the 2022 U.N. General Assembly voted to adopt 15 resolutions demonizing Israel versus just 13 for all other nations combined.
These resolutions include one to officially commemorate next year as the 75th anniversary of the Palestinian “Nakba” – the Arab word for “catastrophe” to describe Israel’s creation.
Another refers Israel’s “occupation of Palestinian territories” (including Jerusalem) to the International Court of Justice. That one-sided, anti-Israel resolution ignores Jewish ties to the Temple Mount, the holiest site in all of Judaism.
The U.N. consistently employs a double standard in its treatment of Israel.
Over the years, more resolutions have been passed condemning Israel than all resolutions condemning genocide, warfare, and human rights violations around the world combined.
These anti-Israel actions are commonplace not only in the U.N. General Assembly, but also the U.N. Human Rights Council, the World Health Organization, and more.
As many in the international community continue to use the U.N. as a platform to put forward ridiculous accusations aimed at singling out Israel, the United States and Israel must continue to work closely together to fight against this blatant discrimination.
But American support for Israel will not simply happen. We must advocate for it, cultivate allies, and work closely with lawmakers in Congress.
