The UN Condemns Israel Obsessively while Averting Its Gaze from Mass Repression in Iran
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Jake Wallis Simons - Anybody who knows anything about the UN understands that it has been saturated in Israelophobia for decades. Remember how Antonio Guterres, the secretary-general, claimed that the Oct. 7 attacks "did not happen in a vacuum"? Remember how the war in Gaza produced the increasing weaponization of the mechanisms of the UN against the Jewish state, culminating in the fabrication of charges of famine, even though the only pictures of supposedly starving Gazans turned out to be people with serious health disorders? Remember the libelous endorsement of the false charge of genocide? But despite all the examples cited above, and the reams of other evidence besides, the UN has continued to enjoy a sterling reputation in the eyes of the man in the street, which is why it has been such an effective weapon against Israel. Sometimes, however, a sudden change of light makes you see things more clearly. On Thursday, Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad, who had been targeted three times for assassination by the regime, was invited by the U.S. to address the UN Security Council. The brave Alinejad was scathing. "The secretary-general has not spoken publicly against the massacre," she said. During her testimony, she broke down when reading the names of the protesters who had been killed. The UN's indulgence of the worst regime in the world, which is the other side of the coin to their obsessive condemnation of the freest nation in the Middle East, has been exposed for all to see.
