Arr, me mateys! The Israeli Ambassador, Gilad Erdan, be spoutin' words like a true seafarin' pirate! He be claimin' that the cursed U.N. be full of scallywags showin' their true colors of antisemitism. Sink me ship, if that don't be one salty tale!
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, has accused the U.N. of harboring prevalent antisemitism. Erdan made these remarks after being detained by U.N. security personnel for protesting a speech by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. During his protest, Erdan held up a picture of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman who was killed while in police custody for not wearing a head covering in public. Erdan expressed disgust with the U.N.'s treatment of Raisi, who he believes is responsible for the murder of thousands of Iranians. He sees his detention as a small price to pay for conveying a message of solidarity with the people of Iran against their oppressive regime.Erdan also highlighted examples of antisemitism within the U.N., such as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas distorting and denying the Holocaust. He called for action from the U.N. leadership to address and eradicate antisemitic behavior within the organization. Erdan also discussed efforts to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia, citing the Trump-era Abraham Accords as a positive step towards peace in the region.
Despite occasional disagreements with the Biden administration, Erdan emphasized the unbreakable bond between Israel and the United States. He called for the U.N. Secretary General and senior staff to take action against antisemitism rather than offering empty words. In response, the U.N. Secretary General's office denied rolling out a "red carpet" for Iran, claiming that everyone receives the same drab green carpets. They also highlighted the Secretary General's strong record in combatting antisemitism and historical revisionism.
