The U.N.'s deep-seated and longstanding scorn and disdain for Israel showed itself yet again in October when Secretary General António Guterres tried to absolve Hamas of blame for its brutal and barbarous attack on Israel.

Yes, he did condemn Hamas for its horrendous invasion. But he also explained away that assault, in which psychotically cruel Hamas terrorists gunned down, dismembered, and decapitated Israeli civilians — including infants and the elderly. Those atrocities, Guterres explained in remarks to the U.N. Security Council, "did not happen in a vacuum."

Speaking 17 days after the greatest one-day loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust, Guterres listed the alleged sins of the Jewish state: "The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation," he claimed.

Even though Israel has not "occupied" Gaza since it evacuated the coastal enclave more than two decades ago, the Jews still had it coming, Guterres implied.

On the heels of Guterres' defense of Hamas terror, the U.N. General Assembly voted 120-14 to call for an immediate Gaza ceasefire but did so without even mentioning Hamas. Nor did it condemn the genocidal terror group for invading Israel and killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and abducting more than 200 hostages — including children.

And that just scratches the surfaces of the U.N.’s antisemitic sins. Since its 1975 "Zionism is racism" resolution, which categorized the Jewish state as a racist (and therefore, evil) initiative, the U.N. has been an Israel-obsessed body that attacks and vilifies the Jewish state more than any other nation.

America sends more than 12 billion dollars each year to the United Nations — roughly 22% of the total U.N. budget and far more than any other nation. And yet the U.N. is the world’s most powerful and prominent antisemitic body.

It singles out Israel — the one true democracy in the Middle East — for harsh, unreasonable, and unrelenting condemnation. And it even does this at the very moment the Jewish state is forced into an all-out war that may trigger a wider Middle East conflagration.

The United Nations must be defunded. America can do this piecemeal or wholesale, but it must be done. The only hope for U.N. reform is to apply a financial tourniquet and force change.

Because the U.N. is the world’s leading outpost of antisemitism and an institution with almost no empathy for Israel and the Jewish people, it is crucial that we call on the House now to defund the U.N. Sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to the U.N. only empowers this corrupt, bloated, and Israel-despising organization.

RIGHT NOW Congress is debating the upcoming budget. Let's make sure they don't fund the anti-Israel money pit known as the United Nations!

At the same time, it is crucial that we raise the funds needed this month to continue everything we are doing to defend and bless Israel. The Jewish state’s enemies are many. Its friends are few. That’s why your financial support now is so needed.

We need YOUR HELP to continue defending the world’s only Jewish state. Please stand with us to bless Israel by giving generously today.
