Put the UN/ICJ on trial, not Israel (Dated Jan 10, 2024)

Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein

The United Nations and its institutions have a credibility they do not deserve, and have become a threat to freedom and democracy in the world. Israel’s case before the UN’s International Court of Justice, brought by South Africa, should be used to expose this fact and begin the process of placing clear boundaries on the UN.
