(Jerusalem Post) Dr. Dan Diker - The UN's 1948 recognition of the Jewish people's right to self-determination in the State of Israel symbolized hope and triumph over genocidal oppression. Yet today, the world body has tragically inverted this narrative, portraying Israel as a villain, while rationalizing the actions of genocidal terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hizbullah and the Houthis, which share aims akin to those of the Nazis. The UN has evolved into a platform on which the legitimacy of Israel is consistently undermined. Resolutions and declarations emerging from various UN bodies often paint Israel as an aggressor while propping up and legitimizing the actions of groups that threaten its existence. Bias against Israel can be traced back to UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 of 1975, which equated Zionism and racism. That resolution was shelved in 1991. Since 2015, the UN General Assembly has delivered 140 resolutions condemning Israel - far more than the number of resolutions against all other nations combined. The UN Human Rights Council, whose members frequently include authoritarian, repressive regimes such as North Korea and Iran, has also passed an overwhelming number of resolutions against Israel. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) have served as additional forums enabling "lawfare" campaigns against Israel. Moreover, the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which purportedly supports Palestinian refugees, has been implicated in supporting terrorism. There is a pressing need for the UN to confront its embedded biases and its acceptance of jihad and collective Jew hatred. A different framework must emerge, one that prioritizes accuracy, fairness, and a commitment to uphold human rights without prejudice. The UN and its associated agencies are accomplices to terror organizations, defaulting on their mission set in the UN's founding charter of pursuing peace and defending the sovereignty of nations.

The UN Needs to Be Rebuilt from the Ground Up
