Early Sunday morning, the Jerusalem Post published an Op-Ed with an interesting title: “’UNAI’: It is time to rename the UN to United Nations Against Israel.”
The author recalled watching with astonishment as New York City welcomed the President of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism (Iran) with open arms, while simultaneously uttering threats and displaying open hostility toward the Prime Minister of the Jewish State. But what happened in the city surrounding the United Nations General Assembly paled in absurdity to what took place inside the building’s doors.
“From the opening day of the General Assembly, speech after speech turned toward Israel: Turkey. Jordan. Qatar. France. Britain. Brazil. The secretary-general himself. Different continents. Different religions. Different political systems. Different national interests,” the op-ed detailed. “Yet somehow they keep finding the same common ground: Israel.”
The author highlighted the myriad of events taking place around the globe that ought to have captured the attention of delegates—including brutal dictatorships, persecution, terrorism, and the threat posed to the world by Iran itself. None of those issues seemed relevant when their prized target, the Jewish State, was present.
“When the nations gather, the recurring target becomes Israel—again and again,” the article emphasized. “The UN seems unable to unite around almost anything. But put Israel in the middle of the room, and suddenly the nations discover what it means to be united. Maybe it is time to call the institution what it has become: UNAI – United Nations Against Israel. Because increasingly, that is the unity. Not unity against terrorism, against regimes that threaten their neighbors, or around persecuted minorities or political prisoners. But unity against Israel.”
The author highlighted that the UN’s history makes its actions all the more disgraceful—considering its creation in the wake of WWII and the Holocaust. He rightfully noted that the antisemitic tendencies which have perpetually plagued the world are the same reason Israel is constantly in the world’s crosshairs. As noted by David Bar-Illan, an advisor to Netanyahu in the 1990s, “Israel itself has become the world’s Jew.”
The backward antisemitic thinking of world nations is stunning—but not unanticipated.
On Thursday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu walked to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly, the majority of those seated rose to their feet, not to applaud but to stage a mass walkout. The same had occurred in 2024—though it was discovered that assistants and lower-ranking individuals were deliberately brought into the room to make the exit appear more dramatic for the international cameras.
Netanyahu was ready for a repeat of the display, beginning his speech on Thursday with the following statement: “Mr. President, before I begin, just a quick announcement: If there are any other moral cowards who haven’t yet left this hall—please do so now. Thank you very much.”
In his address, Netanyahu railed against the “mind-blowing hypocrisy” in the halls of the United Nations, specifically as it related to their unified lies against the Jewish State.
Prior to the commencement of the UNGA, the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism released a campaign video showing parrots behind the General Assembly podium, each crying “Blame Israel!” At the conclusion of the video, words appeared on the screen: “Repeating lies doesn’t make them true.” These words were a clear connection to a famous quote from the Nazi propaganda minister who said: “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will eventually believe it.”
Israel was fully prepared that they would be walking into the antisemitic lions’ den. The United Nations’ track record speaks for itself. As documented by UN Watch, between 2015 and 2024, the UN General Assembly has “adopted 173 resolutions against Israel”—more than double the resolutions placed against all other nations combined.
There was a notable absence on Thursday from the halls of the UNGA. Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, was forced to hop on a plane back to Israel after learning that his son Neria was severely injured in a vicious Palestinian terror attack. Yet as the ambassador left to be at his son’s bedside while doctors worked to “fight for his life,” delegates at the UN continued to venomously downplay terrorism against Israelis and demonize the Jewish State as the true villains on the world stage.
What we see at the United Nations is nothing short of Satanic.
The Jerusalem Post Op-Ed questioning whether “United Nations Against Israel” is a more fitting title for the UN body was correct. Whether or not the writer was aware, the world’s united “obsession” against modern Israel is straight from the pages of God’s Word.
In Zechariah 12:3, we read, “And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.”
The irrational hatred of the Jewish State among the nations will only increase. God told us in advance that it would happen. Yet, despite the unrelenting targeting of this tiny nation, God has promised Israel a glorious future—the same cannot be said of the united nations against them.
