'UNAI': It is time to rename the UN to United Nations Against Israel - opinion
The UN struggles to unite on global crises, yet repeatedly finds common ground when it comes to condemning Israel.
In New York, the president of Iran, a country in direct conflict with the United States, enjoys the same security and freedom of speech as other world leaders at the United Nations. However, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu receives intense hostility, arriving for a brief visit, addressing the UN, and departing within hours, despite being America's closest ally in the Middle East.
Throughout the General Assembly, speech after speech focused on Israel, with representatives from various continents, religions, and political systems unifying in their condemnation of the Jewish state. This contrasts sharply with the global focus on other critical issues such as wars, dictatorships, political prisoners, and minority persecution.
The United Nations, originally established in the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust to prevent such atrocities, now seems to be the one institution where the Jewish state is consistently targeted. As the writer observes, it appears the UN has become "United Nations Against Israel," reflecting the world's consistent opposition to the Jewish state while overlooking countless other global crises.
