A United Nations commission report that accused Israel of committing war crimes and genocide, with no mention of the crimes of Hamas, has drawn swift reaction from Israel. “’Legitimazes Jihad’: Foreign Ministry slams UN report accusing Israel of genocide,” by Asher Smith, Jerusalem Post, October 27, 2026:
The Foreign Affairs Ministry on Monday called the report from a United Nations commission accusing Israel of genocide a “propaganda document detached from reality, aimed at undermining Israel’s right to self-defense, delegitimizing the Jewish state, and legitimizing jihadist terrorism against its citizens.”
The UN commission released a report Monday accusing Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank and Gaza.
The report also mentioned wrongdoings by the Palestinian Authority, claiming that it had pushed for arbitrary arrests, detention, torture and the targeting of journalists, activists and human rights defenders.
In contrast, Hamas is named exactly twice, and neither mention accused Hamas of committing a crime or other wrongdoing….
The response of the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry is accurate to the letter. The UN has largely become a mouthpiece for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). OIC countries embraced so-called Palestinian statehood 38 years ago. For anyone who argues about the intent of the OIC, it is explicitly stated on its website under the title: Palestine and Al-Quds Affairs:
The cause of Palestine and Al-Quds was the raison d’etre for the establishment of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in 1969. The Department of Palestine and Al-Quds Affairs (DPQ) was established as a major department at the General Secretariat. It is headed by an Assistant Secretary-General in accordance with Article 18 of the OIC Charter “One post of Assistant Secretary General shall be devoted to the cause of Al-Quds Al-Sharif and Palestine with the understanding that the State of Palestine shall designate its candidate”.
Vision and Mission
Enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable rights, including their right to return, self-determination, and establish the independent and sovereign state of Palestine on the 1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, preserving its Arab identity and preserving its holy places, and working to end the occupation of the Palestinian and Arab territories occupied since 1967, including the city of Al-Quds and the other occupied Arab territories.
The UN has also included on its own website the OIC’s declaration that the Palestinian cause is the central cause to the Muslim ummah. See HERE. The Palestinian cause is rooted in jihad, and its mission is to wipe Israel off the map. On OIC maps, this is already the case. Israel is absent. The UN also included on its own website a statement from the OIC about Israel’s borders:
The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has expressed its strong condemnation and rejection of the Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich’s use of an alleged geographical map of Israel which includes the borders of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the occupied Palestinian territory, and his racist statements denying the existence of the Palestinian people, their history and their legitimate rights, considering them to be a disregard for established historical facts, and a blatant violation to the rules of international law and international resolutions, as well as being a political incitement.
In April 2023, I wrote for Jihad Watch an article entitled “Islamic countries are buying out UN agencies to promote Sharia globally.” Activism from the OIC is influential in the global turn against Israel. Its membership is extraordinarily powerful, and it also leverages its clout in conservative political circles. See article: What Conservatives Need to Learn about Appeasing Islamic Supremacists.
Nothing better could be expected of the UN Commission report, given the UN’s history on anti-Israel resolutions, as well as its alliance with the OIC.

We will never see the slaughter of mass numbers of Christians in Africa’s nations listed as a reason for the UN to pass its edicts and decrees. And they will never apologize for any of this since it is now a leftist, socialist, islamic consortium that swims in its own conclusions without regard for the facts on the ground that clearly go against virtually all of its declarations. The globalization movement is the result of much of the ‘enlightenment’ age that can’t accept its responsibilities of leadership and accomplishment without hyperbolic guilt bestowed upon it by those leftists and Islamists who yearn for control of all of it. You might think that yesterday’s elections in Israel might humble and shame all of the arab muslim states that have nothing even close to the functional democratic elections there but no, its just the same denial of any and all of that.

As taught from Islam’s Qur’an, Islam and its Muslims should be characterized as a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST-GANG ENTERPRISE against all Non-Muslims with Muslim deceit, discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism using MUSLIM MONEY and LIVES as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 3:28, 54; 7:99; 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 49:15, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 47:4; 48:29, etc. Ultimately, Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 11:46, 119; 32:13; 98:6, etc.).
The Qur’an depicts Muslims as TERRORIST BELIEVERS OF ALLAH. Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”.

The UN has become a sham organization with Islamic money and ideology determining its agencies and policies.
The US should belong to have a voice, but we should give zero dollars to its coffers.
