TO United Nations watchdog has criticized the organization for passing multiple resolutions this week condemning Israel for various alleged human rights violations, but not condemning Hamas or other groups or nations, at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise.
"The UN's attack on Israel with a torrent of unilateral resolutions, just a month after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and on the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, is surreal," said Hillel Neuer, executive director of the UN Watch. in a press release.
"The sole purpose of these eight unequal sentences is to demonize the Jewish state," Neuer said. โThe world should not be fooled into thinking that these annual resolutions in any way advance the cause of peace or human rights.โ
The UN Second Committee, which focuses on economic and financial issues, announced the approval of three resolutions of this typeincluding one demanding that Israel cease โexploitation, damage, cause of loss or depletion and dangerโ in the Golan Heights region of Syria.
Syria drafted and co-sponsored the resolutions, which were approved with 151 votes in favor and six against; only Canada, Israel, the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and the United States opposed the measure, and 11 members abstained from voting.
"These are Arab lands," Syria's representative said after the vote. โSooner or later they will return to their original rightful owners.โ
A Amnesty International Report for 2022/23 on human rights abuses and violations around the world noted that โeconomic and social conditions deterioratedโ in Syria even as active hostilities have subsided, and โseriousโ human rights abuses were committed by the parties. with impunity,โ including โwar crimes.โ "

Neuer called the Syrian-backed resolution โobsceneโ and added that it is โsurprisingโ that the UN supports a call for โmore people to be surrenderedโ to The regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assadwho has killed โhalf a million of his own people.โ
"The text is morally irritating and logically absurd," Neuer said in a sharp rebuke of the UN, noting that Assad's forces have killed "more than 3,000 Palestinians" in their conflicts.
โToday's farce The general assembly underlines a simple fact: the UN automatic majority has no interest in truly helping the Palestinians, nor in protecting anyone's human rights; The goal of these ritualistic and unilateral condemnations is to make Israel a scapegoat,โ Neuer said.
The UN did not respond to a request from Fox News Digital for comment on the resolutions.
Outgoing top UN official calls for one-state solution, criticizes US, Israel: 'Chilling words'
Anne Bayefsky, director of the Institute for Human Rights and the Holocaust at Touro University, accused the UN of promoting the interests of Hamas by attacking Israel with these resolutions and blaming it for the current conflict about Israel.
Bayefsky accused these resolutions of promoting โblood libel,โ which refers to false accusations by Jews inciting violence to justify anti-Semitic responses.
โThe general statements of the highest UN officials and so-called โhuman rightsโ experts have specific characteristics,โ Bayefsky alleged. โThey issue defamatory and unverified blood libels; they blame Israel for the genocide against the Jews; they exhibit an obscene moral equivalence between a terrorist organization and a democratic State that seeks to defend itself; and, most importantly, they deny the Jewish State the right of self-defense established in the Charter of the United Nations.โ

โThe degree of disconnect between the UN and human decency is perhaps best exemplified by the repeated call for 'both parties' or 'all parties' to adhere to international law, when one of the parties โ Hamas โ exists to violate the law. international, and the other party (Hamas) exists to violate international law. The party is doing everything possible to adhere to international law despite all the obstacles placed in its path by the Palestinian terrorists themselves,โ he added.
