The Longstanding Hostilities Between the United Nations & Israel w/ Ian Williams

On this edition of Parallax Views, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs' UN correspondent Ian Williams, author of UNtold: The Real Story of the United Nations in Peace and War, joins the program to discuss the longstanding bad blood between the UN and Israel going back to the assassination of UN official Count Bernadotte by the militant Zionist paramilitary group Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang) in 1948. We discuss this in light of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres making statements that drew the ire of Israel and pro-Israel voices as well as Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilda Erdan wearing a yellow star to the UN, claiming there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and saying the UN is aligned with Hamas. We'll also discuss longstanding issues between the State Department and Israel, AIPAC and pro-Israel lobbying efforts, Christian evangelical support for Israel and how that support is driven by apocalyptic religious views, 20th century Zionist paramilitary groups and terrorism, and more!
