The UN’s Anti-Israel Obsession Exposed

Colonel Richard Kemp, a man who knows the realities of war far better than most, has once again cut through the fog of diplomatic double-speak. In his recent remarks (see video: “Colonel Richard Kemp Drops a Bombshell on the UN’s Gaza Agenda”), Kemp lays bare what many of us already suspect—the United Nations is not a neutral arbiter in the Israel–Palestine conflict. Far from it.

A One-Sided Agenda

According to Kemp, the UN’s Gaza agenda is riddled with bias, built not on fairness or fact, but on an entrenched hostility toward Israel. Instead of acknowledging Hamas’s terrorism, its systematic use of civilians as human shields, or its repeated rejection of peace, the UN singles out Israel for condemnation. Every civilian casualty is laid at Israel’s door, with little or no attention given to the deliberate strategies of Hamas that cause those casualties in the first place.

Rewarding Terrorism

This is not just sloppy diplomacy—it is dangerous. By vilifying Israel while ignoring Hamas’s war crimes, the UN effectively rewards terrorism. It hands Hamas a propaganda victory, undermines Israel’s right to defend itself, and sends a chilling message to other democratic nations: if you defend your people against terrorism, expect the world’s leading international body to brand you the aggressor.

An Echo Chamber of Bias

Kemp’s criticism is blunt but accurate. The UN, once conceived as a guarantor of peace and justice, has become an echo chamber for anti-Israel sentiment. Its agencies and commissions churn out resolutions condemning Israel at a rate wildly disproportionate to any other conflict or human rights issue on the planet. Millions can die in Syria, Yemen, or Sudan, but Israel is the one dragged into the dock again and again.

Why It Matters for Australia

Why does this matter for us in Australia? Because our own government increasingly takes its cues from UN talking points. The Albanese government’s drift towards recognition of a Palestinian state, and its habit of equivocating on Israel’s right to self-defence, reflect this broader international trend. If we don’t call out the UN’s blatant double standards, we tacitly endorse them.

A Crisis of Integrity

Colonel Kemp is right. The UN has abandoned its integrity. Until it confronts its institutionalised bias, it will continue to empower the very forces of violence and extremism it was founded to resist. Israel deserves fair treatment. And so does the truth.


Here is the interview with Colonel Richard Kemp.
