This bias manifests in a number of areas. First, the UN devotes a vastly disproportionate amount of attention towards Israel, and has issued more resolutions condemning Israel than all other countries combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that were not enough, several UN bodies actively spread false information against Israel. This is done under bodies that are allegedly working to promote the Palestinian cause, with the Palestinians being the singular beneficiaries of several designated divisions within the UN organizational structure. This phenomenon of multiple UN bodies advocating for a non-state actor at the expense of a full-fledged UN member state is unparalleled within the UN. In no other context are such a large number of UN bodies working to advance the agenda of a single group, whose activities are directed against a member state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, negative campaigns targeting Israel are gaining momentum globally, in turn increasing pressure on the UN to continue its condemnation of Israel. As will be explained, in allowing for such internal bias, the UN continually violates its own rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This policy paper, written by Ran Bar-Yoshafat and Giulia Dal-Bello exposes the magnitude of the UN\u2019s distorted and biased treatment of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See the full paper: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kohelet.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UN-anti-Israel-bias.pdf \">https:\/\/www.kohelet.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UN-anti-Israel-bias.pdf <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.kohelet.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UN-anti-Israel-bias.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of UN-anti-Israel-bias.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-0eaec73e-51ec-4cdf-8f0d-ada7ee49778c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kohelet.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UN-anti-Israel-bias.pdf\">UN-anti-Israel-bias<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kohelet.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UN-anti-Israel-bias.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-0eaec73e-51ec-4cdf-8f0d-ada7ee49778c\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New policy paper addresses systemic anti-Israel bias within the United Nations (UN) institutional apparatus which manifests in a number of areas.","protected":false},"featured_media":12622,"template":"","article-category":[525],"custom-tags":[555,574],"ppma_author":[49],"class_list":["post-9498","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article-category-publications","custom-tags-policy-paper","custom-tags-united-nations"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
