JERUSALEM – Women’s rights groups and officials in Israel who have been working tirelessly for the past six weeks to document cases of rape and gender-based atrocities carried out by Hamas terrorists during their mass, brutal terror attack in Israel on Oct. 7., say the United Nations is ignoring them.
They say they have also shared much of this evidence, some of it horrifyingly graphic and all of it extremely intimate, with the United Nations and groups that protect and empower women.
The response: Silence.
"We’ve sent letters and shared graphic documentation," Sarah Weiss Maudi, a senior diplomat and legal adviser in Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Fox News Digital. "Their silence is so deafening that it’s sickening," she said.
Weiss Maudi, who last year became the first Israeli representative to serve as a senior adviser to the president of the 77th Session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, said that U.N. bodies, particularly U.N. Women, whose specific mandate is to champion the rights of women regardless of race or ethnicity, have simply refused to acknowledge that atrocities were committed against Israeli women – and young girls – despite much of it filmed by Hamas, and other Palestinian terrorists from Gaza, themselves.

that’s insane
Iran is currently the "chair" of the UN Human Rights Council.
Perhaps you're thinking of (Muammar Gaddafi's) Libya, which was also "chair" of the UNHRC, having been appointed to that role in 2011. They were however "suspended" from that role in 2013, after the "Arab Spring."
According to Oxford, appendage can mean “tailpiece” or a protuberance from the body. So the UN can be right at home in the rear, spewing what it does during every world crisis.
Yes! It was Libya, thanks.
I thought that the UN declared that rape as a form of warfare is considered a crime against humanity...
No surprise.
Not even remotely surprised.
Part of the rewards promised to Third World UN supporters. Hamas just took theirs a little too early, while Western Civilization still had some ability to fight back.
U.S. out of U.N.! U.N. out of U.S.!
I got it a bit wrong. Iran got to chair some conflab dor a few days. It was however appointed by the obscenely named U.N human rights council
“The regime was appointed in May by the president of the UN Human Rights Council, to be Chair of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum.” https://unwatch.org/iran-to-chair-un-human-rights-forum-on-thursday-sparking-protests/
Regardless, like putting a pyromaniac in charge of forest firefighting
THE REAL UN is being EXPOSED.
Make the film(s) widely, publicly available. Until then, it’ll be stiffled and any and all recourse — legal, economic and military — will go nowhere.
The UN is a worthless money pit.
Nothing of real value comes from the UN.
The UN should be moved to Kenya. No US $
Appreciate the clarification
Where do they get these secretaries general. It’s fake to drag history into this, but doubly fake to drag fake history into it.
They’re professional bureaucrats working for an organization dominated by dictatorships and other despotates.
