…this should make it clear.

‘It’s a Farce’: UN Security Council, Under Pressure From Islamic States, Schedules Meeting on Gaza During Rosh Hashanah
The United Nations Security Council has scheduled a critical meeting on the Gaza war for Tuesday afternoon—as the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah is in full swing. The move is meant to sideline Israeli officials who will be observing the holiday, sources familiar with the meeting told the Washington Free Beacon.
The Security Council’s public calendar shows only that a “Middle East” briefing is slated for Tuesday—the first day of high-level debate at the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA)—in the council’s Turtle Bay chambers. Though the council did not disclose a specific topic, sources familiar with the meeting said that it will focus on the war in Gaza and that it was scheduled during Rosh Hashanah thanks to pressure from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the self-described “collective voice of the Muslim world” that maintains a permanent delegation to the U.N. and counts the likes of Iran, Qatar, Turkey, and Pakistan as members. Another member, Algeria, was especially aggressive in pushing for the Gaza meeting to fall within Rosh Hashanah, the Free Beacon has learned.
The Jewish holiday begins at sundown on Monday and concludes at nightfall on Wednesday. UNGA high-level debate does not end until five days later, leaving plenty of time for the Security Council to hold the Gaza meeting after Rosh Hashanah. South Korea, which holds the Security Council presidency, ultimately decided on the date and time, suggesting the country capitulated to the OIC’s demands.
If the fact that Israel is regularly condemned by the United Nations more often than all the other 192 members combined (last year there were 7 UN condemnations of Israel and 6 of everyone else) didn’t convince you, maybe this will.
Do you remember when the United Nations was a legitimate organization concerned with world peace and welfare?
If so, I congratulate you. I doubt most people are able to think back that far.
