Lindsey Graham says UN ‘most antisemitic body on the planet’

Sen. Lindsey Graham slammed the United Nations as the “most antisemitic body on the planet” after the UN General Assembly passed a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

The nonbinding resolution that called for a “humanitarian truce” in Gaza was adopted by the 193-member world body on Friday in a 120-14 vote and was the UN’s first response to the war.

“Let me just tell you about the UN right now, it is the most antisemitic body on the planet,” Graham told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday night.

“To ask Israel to have a ceasefire after their people were slaughtered more viciously than the Nazis, having children beheaded, women raped in front of their parents; the UN is wrong,” the South Carolina Republican said.

The resolution was approved after Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,400 Israelis in the sickening Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state.

“Here’s when will have a ceasefire — when Hamas ceases to be a threat to Israel,” Graham said. “Then and only then will we have a ceasefire.”

The US, Israel, five Pacific island nations and four European countries all voted against the Arab-drafted resolution.

A Canadian amendment to the UN resolution that was supported by the US would have unequivocally condemned the Hamas terrorist attacks and demanded the immediate release of hostages held by Hamas, but that proposed change was rejected when it failed to get two-thirds majority.

Israel has vowed to continue waging war until all the hostages are freed and Hamas terrorist capabilities are destroyed.

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry has claimed more than 7,000 Palestinians have been killed in retaliatory airstrikes from Israel.
