UN Places Israel on Same List as Hamas and ISIS for Sexual Violence Claims
Faith and Freedom ^ | 05/29/2026

Faith Facts

In a stunning and morally questionable decision, the United Nations has placed the nation of Israel on its official blacklist of entities accused of committing sexual violence in conflict zones. Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon announced the controversial designation Thursday, expressing outrage at the international body’s choice to equate the democratic Jewish state with barbaric terrorist organizations.

The UN’s annual report on conflict-related sexual violence now lists Israel in the same category as Hamas and ISIS, two radical Islamic terrorist groups responsible for countless atrocities against innocent civilians. This deeply troubling moral equivalence represents yet another example of the UN’s apparent bias against Israel and its right to defend itself against terrorist aggression.

This decision is disconnected from facts and reality. It represents a moral failure by the United Nations, Ambassador Danon stated.

The timing and context of this designation raise serious questions about the UN’s credibility and commitment to objective truth. Hamas terrorists committed well-documented acts of sexual violence against Israeli civilians during their brutal October 7 massacre, which claimed over 1,200 innocent lives. Survivors and witnesses have provided harrowing testimony about the systematic rape and sexual torture inflicted by Hamas militants.

Yet the UN has chosen to place Israel—a nation with robust legal protections, an independent judiciary, and military codes of conduct—on the same list as these terrorist organizations. The decision ignores the fundamental difference between a democratic nation defending its citizens and terrorist groups that deliberately target civilians and use sexual violence as a weapon of war.

This latest UN action continues a disturbing pattern of disproportionate scrutiny and condemnation directed at Israel while ignoring or minimizing the atrocities committed by its enemies. For many American Christians who support Israel based on biblical principles and shared democratic values, this decision reinforces concerns about international institutions abandoning moral clarity in favor of political agendas.

The blacklist designation could have practical implications for Israel’s international standing and its ability to cooperate with UN agencies. However, Israeli officials have made clear they will not be deterred from defending their nation and citizens against ongoing terrorist threats, regardless of unjust international pressure.

American conservatives and people of faith must continue standing with Israel against such biased and factually unsupported attacks. The moral difference between a democratic nation under siege and the terrorist organizations seeking its destruction could not be clearer, regardless of what politically motivated UN reports may claim.

If Trump really wants to make many Americans happy and watch dim head explode, start the process to leave the UN and re-tool the building into a veterans’ shelter or what not.

The UN totally fails at what it was created to do: prevent wars.

Is the UN ever fair? Are they ever right? Do they make the world better?

I know but I put it in the same basket of dreams like: repeal the 17th amendment, switch to flat or sales tax with tariffs and drop current tax mechanism, very limited or no immigration for years, total repeal of Obama Care, and term-limits for Congress.

The UN once had a Nazi, Kurt Waldheim, as Secretary-General.

I’d like the United States to stay in the UN, and only for one reason: our Security Council veto. Without that veto, the UN could cause even more mischief.

Oh, and pay them nothing. No dues, nothing. Starve the beast.

oh, of course, I would love to see all that happen. I’m just at the point where I’ve been lied to so many times I don’t expect anything to happen. I do understand that the deficit will just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger and then there will be a collapse, and the United States is gonna get turned into a giant mad Max set

Move the UN headquarters out of Mamdani-ville and relocate it to Mogadishu (the real one in Africa, not the copy-cat one in Minnesota).

Then get the USA out of the UN.

Without our tax money the UN wouldn't last a year.

Me too, but as luck has it that will happen after I am gone or really old and won’t be able to exact any sort of karma to some.

I think it should be moved every 2 to 4 years to another host country like the olympics.

Move the UN out of the US. Pay the average of what those in the Security Council pay.

Those are all reasonable and excellent things to regard as goals, even if they do inhabit a “basket of dreams”...

Where they absolutely do not belong. Any of them.
