End Jew Hatred movement: UN endorses the terrorists' antisemitic rhetoric'

The international grassroots civil rights movement End Jew Hatred held a rally outside the UN headquarters in New York on Monday to stand in solidarity with the citizens of Israel while the UN held a 'Nakba Day' celebration.

“While we are disgusted that the UN decided to move forward with another example of blatant antisemitism, we were not surprised. The UN’s tacit endorsement of the same hate-filled rhetoric used by the terrorists attacking civilians is only the latest example of the systemic Jew-hatred in that institution," the movement stated today (Wednesday).

"We thank those who joined us outside the UN to stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and celebrate the state of Israel. We also want to thank the US and UK missions to the UN, as well as the dozens of other countries, that did not participate in this hateful programming. The real ‘catastrophe’ is the continued hypocrisy by an organization that claims to work for peace while standing with those who want to see the destruction of Israel.”

End Jew Hatred parked a billboard truck in front of the UN, visible to everyone who entered the compound, which displayed messages of solidarity and unity with the Jewish people.

Condemnation of the “Nakba Day” event also came from the Israeli Consulate at the UN.

“As we celebrate 75 years since the miracle of Israel’s founding, It is despicable that some are attempting to reframe this historic achievement as a ‘catastrophe,’ said Itay Milner, Consul for Media Affairs of Israel in New York. “Born out of the ashes of the Holocaust, Israel is an answer to millennia of persecution. It is a testament to the resilience of the Jewish people – and a stark reminder of what Jewish history looks like when Jews do not have a homeland in which to seek refuge. Thanks to EndJewHatred for organizing this important event, and to all of you for such a gratifying show of support."

A number of elected officials tweeted out #EndJewHatredattheUN, including Reps. Jared Moskowitz, Mike Lawler, Brian Mast, and Doug Lamborn. The support of our elected representatives is so crucial to finding a meaningful way to institute change at the UN.
