A Letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon  (15 August 2014)

"We heard and read with amazement and incredulity your recent statements accusing Israeli forces of violating international humanitarian law, and especially your statement of August 12, 2014, questioning of Israel's respect for the principles of distinction and proportionality, and your call for an 'investigation into the repeated shelling of UN facilities harboring civilians.'  We find these statements by you to be nothing less than shocking, deceitful and totally inaccurate..."

Undermining Israel's Right to Self-Defense: the UN Pathology  (15 July 2014)

"The 20th century job description of the United Nations was 'to maintain international peace and security' based on 'the sovereign equality of all its members', and to do 'nothing [to] impair the inherent right of self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a member of the UN'.  But the UN of the 21st century has an exception clause. Every time Israel is attacked, not only does the UN fail to maintain peace and security - it attempts to gut Israel's inherent right of self-defense..."

No, Israel's Not the World's Big Human Rights Problem  (25 April 2013)

"If you monitor United Nations proceedings, listen to political debates on college campuses, and take in much mainstream and new media, you might think that Israel is the world's greatest human rights abuser..."

YOUTUBE:  Israel and the United Nations  (10 April 2012)

"It isn't always easy to change your mind, especially when your opinions are based on emotion and not fact. But I'm encouraged to see that some people are beginning to change their mind about the situation in the Middle East, despite the relentless anti-Israel coverage we're constantly force-fed by the Western media..."

Why Israel Is Right to Sever Ties With the UN Human Rights Council  (28 March 2012)

"'Very unfortunate' was the response of the President of the UN Human Rights Council ... to the news on Monday that Israel was cutting all working relations with the Council. But the words 'very unfortunate' or even downright outrageous can be more aptly employed employed to describe the most recent session of the UNHRC - a session that has seen yet more resolutions passed that are sharply critical of Israel and the establishment of a fact finding mission investigating Israeli settlements. ... When turmoil still envelopes much of the Arab world and Jewish school children are brutally murdered in the heart of Europe in the name of the Palestinian people, is there really nothing more important that the Council could focus on?..."

A Vote For Palestinian Statehood Is a License for Genocidal Incitement  (03 November 2011)

"The Palestinian push to gain a state without recognizing Israel's right to exist received a symbolic boost on Monday, when UNESCO - the United Nations' cultural agency - granted the Palestinian Authority full membership and hence de facto statehood recognition. UNESCO's vote brings the UN another step closer to a fundamental abandonment of its core, founding principles, namely, creating a state committed to the genocidal destruction of another UN member state..."

The Anti-Israel Agenda Prevails  (20 June 2011)

"US efforts to reform the UN Human Rights Council have failed miserably ... The council was the 'reformed' version of the UN Human Rights Commission, ... From the day it began, the council has proved to be even worse than its predecessor. Sitting in judgement on human rights violations worldwide are such luminaries as China, Cuba and Saudi Arabia..."

Massacre in Syria, UN Debate on Israel  (14 June 2011)

"Mr. President, History will record that the highest human rights body of the United Nations met today for no objective reason. Nothing in recent events, nothing in logic, nothing in human rights justifies today's debate. Our meeting is automatic - the consequence of a decision adopted four years ago, shortly after this council was created, to keep a permanent agenda on one country only: Israel..."

UN to Israel: Surrender  (30 March 2011)

Anti-Israel Resolutions at the HRC  (2010?)

"Below is the updated list of one-sided resolutions against Israel adopted by the UN Human Rights Council since its creation in June 2006. The council was designed as an improvement over the discredited Commission on Human Rights, but has tragically repeated and even intensified the same biases..."

Delegitimizing the Jewish State  (Winter 2011 [received 30 December 2010])

"In a move that caught the Israeli government and the Jewish world by complete surprise, on October 21, 2010, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared the Tomb of the Hebrew Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem 'an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territories,' admonishing the Israeli decision to add these biblical shrines to the list of Jewish historical and archaeological sites as 'a violation of international law'..."

UN Misrepresents Israel Again  (20 October 2010)

"Oscar Fernandez Taranco, assistant UN secretary general for political affairs on Monday repeated the propagandist assertion that the building of homes for Jews in areas claimed by the Palestinian areas is a violation of international law..."

Will Obama Use His UN Veto?  (1 September 2010)

"Just before dawn on May 31, 2010, a team of Israeli commandos boarded a Turkish ship to enforce a blockade against the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza. As they came aboard, the Israelis were assaulted by a violent faction of Islamic militants. A melee followed in which several of the commandos were seriously injured and nine of the Turkish militants were killed. The clash was over before the sun came up. It was still daylight when, 5,600 miles away, the Israeli delegation to the United Nations was summoned to appear before an emergency session of the Security Council to be chastised for the actions of the commandos..."
