House members heard testimony Wednesday on what one lawmaker called “rampant antisemitism and systematic anti-Israel bias” at the United Nations.
“Make no mistake, antisemitic bigotry is at the root of the U.N.’s hostility to Israel, which is ugly, evil, and manifests itself in almost every U.N. entity,” said Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) the chair of the Global Human Rights Subcommittee. “The United Nations is unquestionably the world’s foremost legitimizer of antisemitism, including its most virulent and violent forms.”
The hearing came after calls for the U.N. Secretary-General to resign when he seemed to justify the Hamas massacre of Israelis. Â And it focused on one agency in particular, where U.N. employees openly celebrated the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Â
It also follows Iran’s recent appointment to chair a U.N. Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva despite the regime’s egregious human rights violations and help in planning the terrorist attacks against innocent Israeli civilians.
