On Friday's MSNBC broadcast of “The Andrea Mitchell Report,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield reacts to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's condemnation of the United Nations' anti-Semitism and mistreatment of Israel. “There is an unfair bias at the United Nations,'' he said. This is a system related to Israel. However, he did not comment on the allegations of anti-Semitism, saying: “There are people in our member states who may fall under that category.” I'm not going to apply it to the entire UN system. ”
Thomas-Greenfield said: “Let me tell you, we have consistently expressed concern about unfair bias in the United Nations system in relation to Israel, and sometimes more so, as in Sudan. I think we have a disproportionate number of conferences related to Israel compared to other parts of the world that have problems. So in the sense that there is an undue focus on Israel. , I think the Prime Minister is right. I don't comment on anti-Semitism. I have no doubt that there are individuals within the United Nations system or within the member states who could fall into that category. No. I'm not going to apply that to the entire United Nations system.”
