Prof. Anne Bayefsky blasts Guterres UN speech: 'This blood libel is patently false'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 22/9/26 | Gary Willig

Posted on 09/22/2026 2:00:20 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Professor Anne Bayefsky, President of Human Rights Voices and Director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust, sharply criticized United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday following his address to the UN General Assembly in which he attacked Israel.

In his speech, Guterres referred to the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023, before accusing Israel of carrying out killing and destruction in Gaza on a scale unprecedented during his tenure as Secretary-General.

Bayefsky accused Guterres of applying a consistent double standard to Israel and recalled his controversial comments shortly after the October 7 massacre, when he said the Hamas attack “did not happen in a vacuum."

“Within days, Guterres explained the mass torture, rape, kidnapping and slaughter of Jews on October 7th; it did ‘not come in a vacuum,’ he said," Bayefsky stated.

“Today, Guterres accused Israel of engaging in a ‘scale of killing and destruction’ that he had never witnessed in his entire ten-year term as Secretary-General," she continued.

Bayefsky described the comparison implicit in Guterres’ remarks as a “blood libel," arguing that Israel’s military actions in Gaza constitute legitimate self-defense following the Hamas attack.

“This blood libel analogizes lawful and legitimate Israeli self-defense to deliberate Palestinian mass murder of civilians," she charged.

She also rejected Guterres’ description of the scale of the destruction in Gaza, pointing to a series of other bloody conflicts around the world during his tenure.

“It is patently false on its face, just considering the scale of destruction and barbarism in Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Syria, Afghanistan, Mexico, and South Sudan," Bayefsky said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Oh. Guterres said something again? Thank you, Professor Bayefsky, for my attention to this matter.

Guterres is a swine. Naturally, he's FOS. But when he says something, we ought to take note.

Blaming Israel because Gaza attacked them is just stupid.

Nobody cares. Whites enslaved, blacks enslaved, Jews enslaved before then. Armenians. Jews, poles, russians, jews again, 9-11.....nobody cares....

so YOU better care Israel. Rome and Greece and Persia are remembered for conquest, not slaughter.

Nobody hits the local don until he is weakened. Don’t get weakened: Follow God’s commandments.

Complaining for sympathy sometimes gets applause and always NO HELP.

As a Perfesser, I wonder if she knows the actual meaning of “blood libel”?

Of course. As an amature history buff, I know the meaning of “blood libel”. Bayefsky does, too.

A Jewish King is coming back to reign on a Jewish Throne in Jerusalem, the Capital of Greater Israel. You’re going to bow to Him whether you like it or not, sucka. LOL 😂

“Complaining for sympathy sometimes gets applause and always NO HELP.”

Help? Sympathy? Complaining sometimes gets a highly satisfying STFU on the part of the offending parties. But little else, if that.

He’s swine because he lies, uses double standards, and he’s Secretary General of the UN, and is full of his own self, as well as sh!t, and he abuses power for his own nefarious agenda.

I don’t like him because, despite his hideous appearance, Gutfeld hasn’t made fun of him once. How many jokes about The View must he use up before Greg turns his attention to a new target. There are plenty of people I don’t like, some of them in my own family. Few of them would I characterize as swine.

“Complaining for sympathy sometimes gets applause and always NO HELP.”

But when you are slandered, you must rebut the slander, or it might stick, and you’ll find yourself being physically and verbally attacked wherever you go. That’s been going on a lot in recent years, so kudos to the Perfessor for speaking up at last.

I’m convinced. Move HQ to Mogadishu. It might do Guterres some good.

A Jewish Christian King is coming back to reign ...

Jewish by bloodline, Christian by theology.

Yes, Christ is a Christian, in the same way that Marx was a Marxist and Freud was a Freudian.
