Israel launches campaign accusing UN of bias — Jerusalem Post
In Israel, the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, together with the National Public Diplomacy Directorate at the Prime Minister’s Office, launched The UN’s Lie Industry campaign. It was timed to coincide with the start of the UN General Assembly’s work. The Israeli side says the campaign is intended to draw attention to what it calls systematic and false bias against Israel, the Jerusalem Post reports.
Video featuring parrots
In the video, the UN General Assembly hall is depicted as filled with parrots which, according to the organizers’ description, represent different countries. One after another, they call for Israel to be accused, and later these words are heard as a chorus. At the end of the video, it is stated that repeating a lie does not make it true.
Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli said that the UN General Assembly hall has repeatedly turned into an “echo chamber for libels against Israel.” According to him, the same claims are passed from report to report and from speech to speech, after which attempts are made to present them as universally accepted truth.

Campaign website
As part of the campaign, a website was also launched that is dedicated, according to the ministry, to allegedly false claims and bias in UN publications. The resource was created in cooperation with the National Security Council. The organizers claim that it contains research materials on the collection, institutional endorsement and international dissemination of biased information about Israel after the October 7 attacks.
The website addresses issues of information manipulation, claims of famine in the Gaza Strip, allegations of Hamas infiltration of UNRWA, and the “genocide” narrative, which the organizers call fabricated. Tzipi Hotovely, head of the National Public Diplomacy Directorate, said that a significant share of false accusations against Israel originates from UN reports. According to the publication, the campaign, focused mainly on US policy and the policies of European capitals toward Israel, was created through the Government Advertising Agency Lapam.
