After the Iranian-sponsored Hamas terrorist group invaded Israeli communities and massacred families, and fired thousands of rockets from Gaza across Israel, UN Watch is refuting misinformation and exposing the apologists of terrorism, while amplifying the voices of democracy, human rights and decency. See below a selection of our posts and interviews.

Today is Jewish Refugees Day. We remember 850,000 Jews forced out of Arab states and Iran in the 20th century. Communities 2,500 years old were destroyed.
At the United Nations, I asked Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, and the others: “Where are your Jews?”

Dear @DrTedros: Everyone at Shifa hospital in Gaza knew Hamas terrorists were using it as a base. That they would be shot if they entered the Hamas part of the hospital.
