UN anti-Israel bias under scrutiny after Secretary General’s statement that Hamas attacks didn’t happen ‘in a vacuum’: He’s a ‘Socialist Leftist Jackass’ who should STEP DOWN say enraged Republicans
The United Nations’ anti-Israel bias is angering Republicans in Congress, who say the head of the organization should resign after flamboyant comments this week suggesting Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel was justified.
The UN’s top official secretary-general, António Guterres, was criticized after he said this week that the Hamas terror attack, which killed more than 1,400 innocent civilians, “did not happen in a vacuum.”
Following strong backlash, he claimed to be “shocked by the misrepresentations” of his comments on the Israel-Gaza war.
But top lawmakers don’t believe it.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on his “Verdict” podcast that the U.N. “has long been a sink of Israel hatred and anti-Semitism.”
“In many ways, the United Nations exists so that enemies of Israel can attack Israel on a daily basis,” he said this week.

Israel has called on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres (pictured) to resign, saying Hamas’ attacks cannot justify the “collective punishment of the Palestinian people.”
He then labeled Guterres an “enlightened socialist-left bastard” who refused to condemn the depravity of Hamas’s attacks.
“Did he condemn the rape of little girls? No, I didn’t mention it at all. It just says well: I condemn the shooting of civilians or the firing of rockets, he has no recognition that they behead and burn living babies; the magnitude of it, the depravity of it, is grotesque.”
“We must always choose a side when it comes to good versus evil, and we will never stop calling out the shameful anti-Israel bias at the UN,” former U.S. Ambassador to the UN and 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley recently said to DailyMail.com. week.
He should be “disqualified” from leading the UN, Haley wrote on X this week.
“The UN Secretary General should know that nothing justifies the beheading of babies, the burning of people alive and the rape of young girls. He owes the people of Israel an apology. This is disgusting and disqualifies him from leading the UN.”
She also said the UN should formally designate Hamas as a terrorist organization.
‘It should be easy to condemn a bloodthirsty organization that kills babies, rapes women and burns entire families. Yet the UN still refuses to call Hamas what they are: terrorists.”
Without the official designation, US taxpayer dollars can flow ‘freely’ to Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah, security experts say.
Hamas and Hezbollah are not sanctioned or designated as terrorist groups by the UN Security Council. However, other known terrorist organizations Al Qaeda and ISIS have been officially designated, meaning they can no longer receive foreign aid.
Meanwhile, Israel’s outspoken ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, called on Guterres to resign, writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the UN chief has “shown understanding for terrorism and murder.”
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., wrote of X: “Secretary General Antonio Guterres should resign or be removed from office.”
He added that Guterres’ comments were “gross and disgusting.”
Biden’s current UN Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield has also commented on anti-Israel bias at the organization.

She condemned Hamas for the “horrors” committed by the “terrorist group” whose “stated goal is to kill Jews” and spoke last week at a solidarity event for Israel at the American Jewish Committee headquarters in New York.
Hamas’s “path of terror” does nothing to improve the lives of civilians, she continued.
Thomas-Greenfield also acknowledged that Israel has been “unfairly targeted in the UN system” for too long.
“Now is the time to stand in solidarity with Israel,” she continued.
Hamas terrorists based in Gaza launched a surprise multi-front attack on Israel on Saturday, October 7.
In addition to the more than thirty Americans killed in the attacks, a dozen are still missing and believed to be being held hostage in Gaza.
