“The United Nations has lost any shred of legitimacy on the global stage. It has become nothing more than a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Sylvan Adams, president of The World Jewish Congress, Israel, has released the following statement:

“Under the morally bankrupt leadership of António Guterres, the UN has traded its soul for Qatari wealth. By adding Israeli entities to a “blacklist” of sexual violence, Guterres has created a baseless, caustic equivalency between a democratic state fighting for its survival and the world’s most depraved terror organisations.

What is the “evidence” for this blood libel? A flimsy, biased hit-piece by the New York Times – a serial peddler of false attacks against the Jewish State. An article that failed to provide a single shred of verifiable proof, suggesting preposterous and physiologically impossible examples, according to animal experts, of dog rape, all of which relied entirely on the inconsistent and changing “testimonies” of our enemies. Utter nonsense.

To weaponise unverified claims while staying silent on the thoroughly and explicitly documented, horrific sexual atrocities committed by Hamas is an historic disgrace.

António Guterres: J’accuse! I accuse you! You have presided over the total hijacking of a once-honourable institution. By allowing the UN to be infiltrated and managed by the enemies of Western civilisation, you have stripped it of every ounce of moral, ethical, and practical legitimacy.

The UN is now an immoral, empty shell – an arm of the anti-Western Muslim Brotherhood, backed by the enormous wealth of the Emir of Qatar, whose political goal is to disrupt our entire civilisation and way of life.

Israel will not stand trial, we will not be lectured, and we will certainly not be humiliated by a morally bankrupt institution that has sold its soul to the devil.

We know exactly who we are. We know what we are fighting for. And we will NEVER apologise for defending our people.”

From the World Jewish Congress itself:

“There was a time when Secretary General Antonio Guterres spoke with genuine moral clarity about the Jewish people — even acknowledging that Spain and Portugal suffered profoundly after the destruction of Jewish life during the Inquisition. He understood that when societies turn against Jews, they ultimately turn against themselves.

That is why it has been so deeply troubling to witness the shift in tone and moral equivalence emerging from parts of today’s United Nations leadership.
The UN was created in the shadow of the Holocaust to ensure that the horrors inflicted upon the Jewish people would never happen again. But when the world’s only Jewish state, Israel, is constantly treated as uniquely illegitimate — or worse, rhetorically compared to the terrorists of Hamas — something has gone terribly wrong.
Criticism of governments is legitimate. The normalisation of narratives and conspiracies that demonise the Jewish state is not.
Institutional change is in order. The credibility of international organizations depends on their ability to consistently reject antisemitic double standards, and remember why they were created in the first place.”
