This really galls me. Against all evidence and after Oct. 7, a top U.N. official recently rejected the self-evident claim that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Instead, he declared: “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, of course, as you know. It’s a political movement.”

Sure ... a “political movement” ... one that savagely slaughters innocent Israelis.

Outraged at this idiocy, Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N., Gilad Erdan, declared:

“This is the face of the UN these days: an organization that whitewashes terrorism, promotes Hamas and blames the victims. The UN has lost all credibility.”

Amen ... which is why Congress MUST act now to immediately defund the U.N., which former House Speaker Newt Gingrich declared a “functionally pro-terrorist organization.”

But I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ll give you two more quick examples to show how the U.N. sides with Hamas AGAINST Israel.

The U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights recently exonerated Hamas, saying the savage Oct. 7 massacre came in the “context of ‘over 56 years’ of Israeli occupation, effectively justifying it,” as UN Watch noted.

And just two weeks after Oct. 7, with Israelis in shock and grieving, U.N. Secretary General António Guterres tried to give Hamas a pass, saying its bloody rampage “did not happen in a vacuum.”

Predictably, he blamed Israel, saying the Jewish state has “subjected” Palestinians to “56 years of suffocating occupation.” What “occupation”? Israel left Gaza in 2005.

Leaving no doubt about whose side he’s on, Guterres, a socialist, recited the standard list of false and discredited Palestinian grievances ...

They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced; and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing.

And the culprit? Israel — the world’s one-and-only Jewish state.

Sadly, you and I are the top funders of the United Nations’ hate-filled activity. And 12 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars flows into the U.N.’s New York-based hate factory every single year.

Thank you for your much-appreciated friendship. Together, let’s pray for God’s people and stand with Israel in her time of need.
