Why Does the UN Keep Coming Back to Israel? The Story No One Tells You

For 50 years, one political coalition has shaped the world's conversation in the UN. To understand why, you have to go back to the Cold War, the Arab boycott, and the rise of the Red-Green Alliance.

If you asked most people under 35 which country the United Nations condemns the most, they probably wouldn’t know.

But if you told them the answer is Israel, and that’s the case, then Israel must be one of the world’s worst human rights offenders.

Some of them will wonder: Wait, isn't Israel constantly attacked by Islamist terrorist groups? What about Russia, which is massacring Ukrainians while also sending countless of its own citizens to die in a needless war with no end in sight, silencing opposition voices, and abducting Ukrainian children? 

What about Iran, which killed tens of thousands of people during protests against the regime, with some estimates claiming more than 30,000 people were killed in just two days, while launching missiles across the Middle East in the name of a radical Islamist jihad? 

What about Eritrea, one of the world's most brutal and repressive dictatorships, where citizens are conscripted into military service for life? 

Or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, often described as the rape capital of the world, where rape has been used as a weapon of war, millions have been displaced, children are forced to serve as soldiers, and countless other atrocities continue alongside catastrophic human rights abuses?

Yet Israel is the worst?

That’s the power of the UN.

It doesn’t just pass resolutions, It shapes global perception. Journalists cite it. Universities teach it. NGOs amplify it. Millions of people who have never visited the Middle East absorb its conclusions without ever questioning how they were reached.

Here’s the problem: I don’t believe the UN’s obsession with Israel is primarily about human rights, it’s about politics.

To understand why, we need to rewind to the 1970’s.

The Cold War was at its peak. The Soviet Union was looking for every opportunity to weaken the United States and its allies. At the same time, Arab governments were expanding their diplomatic campaign against Israel, building on the long-standing Arab boycott by seeking to isolate the Jewish state internationally, as in the Middle East, colonized by the Arab Muslims, there cannot be a non Muslim sovereignty.

Israel is the only non Muslim sovereignty in the Middle East. Every minority in the Middle East is being persecuted by Islamists - Yazidis, Christians, Druze and others.

Those interests converged inside the United Nations.

Many describe this as the Red-Green Alliance: not a formal organization, but a political partnership between Communist/socialists, Arab states, and, in later decades, Islamist movements. They shared little ideologically, but they shared one strategic objective: isolate Israel and undermine American influence in international institutions.

One vote captured that shift more than any other.

In 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379, declaring that “Zionism is a form of racism” brought to you by the red green alliance. For many, this was more than another diplomatic resolution. It was an attempt to redefine the national liberation movement of the Jewish people as a form of bigotry. The resolution was eventually repealed in 1991, but its impact on international discourse was profound.

From that point on, anti-Israel majorities inside parts of the UN became increasingly entrenched through bloc voting.

That legacy, never really disappeared.

For years, the UN Human Rights Council maintained Agenda Item 7, a permanent agenda item dedicated exclusively to Israel. No other country had its own standing agenda item. At the same time, governments with deeply troubling human rights records often secured seats on the very council responsible for judging others.

The pattern extended beyond Geneva.

The 2001 Durban Conference on Racism, intended to combat discrimination, became notorious for anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric during parallel NGO events, reinforcing concerns that legitimate criticism of Israeli policy was increasingly intertwined with efforts to delegitimize Israel’s very existence.

None of this means Israel should be immune from criticism.

Like every democracy, it makes mistakes. Its governments should be criticised.

But that’s not the same as applying a different standard.

When one liberal democracy receives extraordinary attention while some of the world’s most repressive regimes receive comparatively less, it is fair to ask whether universal principles are really being applied universally.

For me, this is the central question.

The credibility of international institutions depends on consistency. If geopolitical alliances determine who is condemned, who is ignored, and who gets to define the moral narrative, then those institutions stop functioning as impartial referees and begin functioning as political arenas.

You don’t have to agree with every decision Israel has ever made.

You don’t have to identify as pro-Israel.

But you should ask why one country has occupied such a unique place in the UN’s political imagination for nearly half a century.

Because before accepting any institution as the world’s moral compass, it’s worth asking who has been holding the compass all along.

I've been thinking about it a lot lately: How did we get to the point where millions of people who were never harmed by Israel in any way made hating Israel their entire identity? Even assuming Israel's actions are evil, there is nothing unique about them, so why is Israel the subject of unique attention? Why not Turkey, whose actions led to the creation of the term "genocide," that's ethnically cleansing hundreds of thousands of people in Cyprus and Syria and is colonizing their land with Turks and Arabs?  Why not Iran that massacred tens of thousands of protestors and is involved in all wars in the Middle East, both through its proxies and by directly attacking half a dozen countries that never attacked it?  Why not Myanmar that's been engaged in ethnic violence for 80 years and recently kicked out millions of Muslims?  Why not Afghanistan, which is the most oppressive regime in the world for women and treats religious minorities terribly?  Why not Lebanon, where Palestinians are the victims of an apartheid which prevents them from working most jobs and living in most areas? Except for the obvious thing, what makes Israel unique that it attracts such unique attention?

When a rule is invented for one country and ignored everywhere else, it is not international law. It is a political agenda disguised with legal language.

The ICJ’s 2024 opinion is repeatedly presented as a binding judgment requiring governments to punish Israel for it's "illegal settlements". It is not. It is a non-binding advisory opinion, requested through a UN resolution supported by only 87 of 193 member states. The resolution was not a neutral request for legal clarification: it had already presumed Israeli wrongdoing and asked the Court to determine the consequences.

The resulting process was not a normal adversarial trial. Allegations were not fully tested, Israel had not consented to adjudication, and the Court relied heavily on reports produced by the same UN ecosystem that initiated the case. Israel’s security, the history of the territory prior to 1967, Palestinian rejectionism and the Oslo negotiating framework were treated as peripheral inconveniences, and were not taken into account.

Even the opinion itself did not order a blanket boycott. It called on states to prevent economic relationships that *assist* or *entrench* the situation it considered unlawful. Governments transforming that language into comprehensive trade bans are making political choices - not mechanically obeying international law. Presenting those choices as compulsory legal duties is intellectual dishonesty.

This is part of a larger institutional pattern. In 2025, the UN General Assembly adopted 15 resolutions focused on Israel and 11 concerning every other country combined - including China, North Korea, Syria, Sudan and Iran. Israel is also the only state permanently singled out under its own dedicated Human Rights Council agenda item, proving that Israel is not being judged by a universal standard.

The UN is governed by voting blocs, not by a community of liberal democracies. Autocracies protect one another. Fifty-seven members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation confront one Jewish state. Regimes that imprison dissidents, persecute women, suppress religious minorities and wage destructive wars can accumulate votes - and then use the vocabulary of human rights against the democracy they have selected as their permanent defendant.

The process has become circular: political blocs pass one-sided resolutions; UN institutions generate the supporting record; an advisory body converts that record into legal language; and Western governments cite that language as justification for sanctions. Political hostility enters one end of the system and emerges from the other wearing judicial robes.

The first victim is Israel. The second is international law itself.

Law survives only through consistency, reliable evidence, procedural fairness and equal treatment. Once its rules are selectively applied, it stops restraining power and starts serving it. Every selective prosecution weakens the authority of the same institutions the West may later need to defend genuine human rights.

And that is the bigger danger. Israel is merely the easiest test case: small, isolated and facing an automatic hostile majority. But a precedent allowing authoritarian blocs to weaponize international institutions will not remain confined to Israel. The same machinery can be turned against any Western democracy defending its borders, fighting terrorism or protecting its citizens.

Those cheering today may discover tomorrow that they helped build a legal weapon for their own adversaries.

Defending Israel from selective law is not asking for an exception. It is demanding that international law remain international - and that democracies not be judged by standards manufactured by regimes that would never accept those standards for themselves.

On This Day — August 6, 1940

Mussolini’s bombers came to “liberate” British Mandate Palestine for the Arabs.

Jewish and British gunners met them. It was the third bombing campaign on Haifa’s oil refineries and port in the last three weeks. The last two raids had faced little resistance. This time, anti-aircraft fire was ready.

Gunners forced most of the bombs into the sea or open ground. One bomber was hit, and the rest turned back after scattering leaflets that promised Arab liberation under Fascist rule: “We came to set you free. The day of the liberation of the Arab nations is approaching …”

The same air force later killed Arab civilians in Haifa, damaged a mosque and Muslim cemetery, and slaughtered more than 100 people in a single raid on Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Mussolini courted Arab nationalists (including contacts with the Mufti) for support in the Axis cause.

Oil tanks burned. Propaganda fluttered down. Jewish and British resistance held the skies over the Land of Israel.

On This Day — August 5, 1942

Janusz Korczak refused to let the children of the Warsaw Ghetto die alone.

When the Germans came for the orphans of the Dom Sierot, the famous educator and pediatrician had many chances to save himself.

He was offered false papers.

He refused.

He was urged leave the children for just a few minutes to seek intervention.

He refused.

Before stepping out of the Ghetto, he was told he could still walk away.

He refused.

On a sweltering August day, he walked at the head of a column of 200 Jewish children marked for the gas. Korczak marched with them through the Ghetto streets and toward the trains. Witnesses later recalled seeing him carry the smallest ones in his arms and hearing only a terrible silence.

They boarded the cattle cars together. The destination was Treblinka. None of them returned.

Korczak spent his life healing and instructing children. On his last day, he gave them the only protection he still had: his presence until the end.

Take a Moment to See The World Through Israeli Eyes

The goal of this article is not to change anyone’s opinion but to explain the Israeli point of view. Even if you’re strongly anti-Israel, you may still find it interesting. I am not going to cite any sources because I am the source. 

This is about perception.

For decades, Israel had a very strong peace movement. Its secular belief in peace was as fanatical and messianic as the faith of any religious Jew in the coming of the Messiah. To contradict the cult of peace was to appear barbaric and uncouth. Peace was literally a subject taught in schools when I was in primary school.

Israelis were urged to accept the thousands of Israeli civilians murdered and maimed by suicide bombers and other attacks that were universally celebrated in Arab villages as “sacrifices for peace.” The Israeli leaders who acquiesced to this were embraced by the international community and won Nobel peace prizes.

Israel sacrificed thousands but somehow peace never came. All we got was more hate.

After October 7—the worst day in the life of any Jew alive today—and the vicious gaslighting and mockery that followed, all but the most fanatical adherents of the death cult of peace realized they were delusional. Every Israeli saw the unspeakable brutality committed by Arabs, including “unarmed civilians,” against the most liberal and peaceful communities in Israel. They also saw the lukewarm (at best) response of the people who purported to be the champions of human rights. There was no hiding from the enormity or the hypocrisy.

This trauma led to constant fear of the same thing happening again. No one is willing to risk more one-sided deals or indulge dangerous peace fantasies. Sacrifices for peace now seem as logical as sacrifices for Quetzalcoatl.

Plus, we’re angry. Very angry. 

Folks tend to forget wars are emotional affairs. For some reason, the idea Israelis can have feelings and act based upon them is ignored even by Israeli media. Only the Arabs are allowed to be emotional. Jews are expected to always be cool and calm. 

Well, the Jews are angry and scared right now and no one is doing anything to “deradicalize” them. 

Yes, there is an element of revenge there. How could there not be? Would you not wish to avenge yourself on the people who’ve hurt you so deeply? Would you not be furious at the people who dismissed or mocked your pain?

Gaza isn’t Israel’s Vietnam, Afghanistan or Algeria. Those were distant wars in which the Western powers could afford to lose without deadly consequences. They fought to shape the fate of other nations, not to defend their heartland. 

This is a kind of war people in the West have forgotten could even exist: a war for survival.

Israel isn’t an “occupation” or a “colonial project.” It’s a country, just like any other country in the world. It’s the home of millions of people who have no other home. Israelis are not colonizers, occupiers or “settlers.” They have no desire to shape the fate of other nations. They are just people trying to live normal lives without being bombed and butchered. 

Most Israelis would love to peacefully “divorce” with the Palestinians if this was possible. However, it’s now obvious to everyone but the most delusional leftists that the Palestinians have no such desire. Their goal (as well as their hundreds of millions of fighting allies) is to destroy Israel.

Israeli soldiers don’t fight thousands of kilometers from their cities. 

Many of them can see their homes from their military posts. Missiles drop on their families just as they drop on their comrades. They are literally fighting to defend their homes.

When you call to “dismantle” Israel or use the euphemism “from the river to the sea,” Israelis view it as a threat of killing them and everyone they love. This is personal and genuine.

Every Israeli grew up around Holocaust survivors. Holocaust memory is a big part of Israeli culture. Other holidays mark attempted destruction by other nations such the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and the Amalekites. Israelis remember the massacres and expulsions of Jews from European countries in medieval times and the expulsion of Jews from Arab countries in the recent past.

For Israelis, the threat of annihilation is not an abstraction. It’s something concrete and immediate. Yes, we are afraid, and the constant attacks on Jews all over the world do nothing to reassure us. 

Half are saying, “Jews get out of Palestine, go back to Europe” while the other half is attacking Jews in Europe and doing everything to make Jews feel unsafe and unwelcome. So where are we supposed to go, Mars?

Because of this, Israelis don’t believe they can lose a war and survive. They don’t believe they can live in safety and dignity without Israel either. Gaza isn’t our Algiers, this is our Stalingrad. 

The threats of the enemy are no less severe than the threats of the Nazis. The more threatened we become, the more we insist on ruthlessly defending ourselves. We ask for no more rights than other people have.

We cannot retreat because we have nowhere to retreat to. Israel is too tiny. It has no strategic depth. It has already given back more land than its entire territory and received no peace in return. We’re literally with our back to the sea.

Arabs have been promising to drive Jews into the sea for our entire lives. Enemies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and the Houthis constantly promise to destroy Israel. In the case of the Houthis, it’s literally on their flag. The threats we hear from them every day are horrific.

Given our painful history, we take their threats seriously. The enemy shows no interest in a two-state solution, and the idea it’s possible to live in a single state with such people is comically absurd. 

We are not fighting to rule a foreign land. We’re fighting for survival. 

The reason most of the fighting takes place on foreign soil is the same reason the Allies ended the war in Germany or Ukrainian attacks take place in Russia: to make the enemy unable to hurt us by taking the fight into his backyard. 

Yes, we value the lives of our own citizens more than the lives of the people trying to murder us. Every sane nation does the same thing. The demand Israelis die to minimize the harm to hostile populations dedicated to destroying them is insane and only contributes to the Israeli belief that those talking about deals really just want to see Israel destroyed.

We no longer believe that a piece of paper can protect us, but we do believe it can cut us.

The more Jews are attacked abroad, the more we see the hypocrisy of Israel being singled out for doing what anyone else would have done in Israel’s place. We see that Jew hate is inherent to some societies. When faced with such overwhelming hate, one wants to have a safe place where one doesn’t depend on anyone’s whims for protection.

For the Jewish people, this is Israel.

Some people inherit a cause. Others recognize one - and choose to make it their own.

Thadée Diffre was born into a Catholic family in France in 1912. He was not Jewish. He had no family in mandatary Palestine and no personal refuge to gain from the creation of Israel.

He simply knew what surrender looked like.

When France fell in 1940, Diffre refused to accept Vichy rule. Despite having been declared medically unfit for military service, he helped rally territories in French Equatorial Africa to Charles de Gaulle and then volunteered to fight.

He was wounded in Syria. He fought across Libya, Tunisia and France. He was cited three times and ended the war as a captain - later honored as a Companion of the Liberation, an officer of the Legion of Honor and a recipient of the Croix de Guerre and Resistance Medal.

He had already done more than most men could be asked to do.

Then, in 1947, he encountered another people facing destruction.

Diffre left his promising career in the French government, contacted the Haganah and trained in a secret camp near Lyon. In late April 1948, carrying false papers identifying him as a Lithuanian Jewish refugee, he arrived in Haifa.

He spoke neither Hebrew nor Yiddish. He was a practicing Catholic entering an army that barely existed, in a state that had not yet been born.

There, Thadée Diffre became Teddy Eitan.

“Eitan” means strong or steadfast. It was a name he would earn.

Drawing on his wartime experience, he trained Israeli soldiers, helped teach them to operate newly acquired half-tracks and wrote an infantry-training manual for the emerging army. He was eventually given command of francophone volunteers - mostly Jews from France, North Africa and Belgium - and formed the elite French Commando of the Palmach’s Negev Brigade.

In October 1948, Eitan and his men were chosen to spearhead the assault on Beersheba. They were the first Israeli force to enter the city, helping break Egypt’s hold over the Negev and opening the way south.

Later, against a much larger Egyptian force, his small unit fought a devastating battle at Hill 113. Many of his men were killed or wounded. Eitan himself was wounded.

He could have remained safely in France, wearing the medals he had already earned. Instead, he crossed the sea to fight once more - not for his own country, religion or people, but for the right of another people to survive.

That is what makes Teddy Eitan’s story so powerful.

He understood that the struggle against tyranny did not end when France was liberated. The uniforms had changed and the battlefield had moved, but the moral question remained the same: would the free stand aside while another people was threatened with destruction?

Teddy Eitan did not stand aside.

He was not born a son of Israel. At the moment Israel needed him, he chose to become its brother.

A Hebrew name can be given.

Teddy earned its meaning.

On This Day — August 5, 1973

Two Palestinian Black September terrorists walked into the transit lounge of Athens’ Hellinikon Airport & opened fire with submachine guns and grenades.

They came to murder civilian passengers bound for Israel.

They hit the wrong line.

Instead of the Tel Aviv flight, they attacked travelers waiting for a TWA plane to New York. In less than two minutes, the lounge was filled with blood, shattered glass, and screaming. Three people were killed on the spot, and another two died later of their wounds. 55 others were injured.

They seized 35 hostages, held them for more than two hours, and then surrendered.

Both terrorists were in their early 20s and were members of same organization that had massacred 11 Israeli athletes in Munich the year before. Their orders were to attack anyone heading to Israel.

They got the wrong passengers.

They still celebrated the attack as a success.

Just another bloody entry in the long ledger of Palestinian terrorism aimed at random travelers whose only “crime” was standing near a flight connected, even incorrectly, to the Jewish state.

I would take what Prophet Isaiah says to the bank. This is the same prophet Isaiah, who told you Jerusalem would be rebuilt. Who over 2000 years ago wrote about the reunion of Yehuda and Yerushalayim. Who wrote about how you won’t be able to find an apartment in Jerusalem, it will be so packed. That prophecy of his came true. Unless of course you are naive enough to believe that coincidentally after 2000 years of exile, this less than 1 percent of the world’s population, the Jewish people, who just got out of the Holocaust, returned to Israel to live out the prophecy.

All of that well coincidence lol.
