Ep 79 - UN… The Nations United in Their Jew Hatred: Reem Alsalem, Sexual Violence Denial, and the UN's Moral Collapse
from Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes · host IgalSc | Middle East , Israel, and Antisemitism Insights
In this episode of Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes, we examine Reem Alsalem — the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls — and her extraordinary record of denying documented Hamas sexual violence against Israeli women on October 7, while simultaneously accusing Israel of "gender genocide" without a shred of evidence.When Hamas raped, mutilated, and murdered Israeli women on October 7 — with GoPro footage recorded by the attackers themselves, forensic evidence, medical files, DNA, rape kits, police testimonies, and survivor accounts — Alsalem stayed silent for weeks. When she finally spoke, her response was: no independent investigation confirmed rape. When Israel provided documentation — everything from forensics to eyewitness testimony — she maintained her position. No proof.But when she turned to Israel? No such standard applied. She accused Israel of "multiple forms of sexual violence" using examples of security pat-downs. Then in August 2025, without evidence or investigation, she declared what was happening to Palestinian women "gender genocide" — a category she invented. No hesitation. No demand for independent verification. No evidence required.UN Women waited eight weeks to acknowledge Hamas sexual violence on October 7. When they finally posted a one-paragraph statement, internal staff revolted, claiming the statement "fuels Zionist narratives." The statement was deleted from their website two days later.Topics in this episode include:Reem Alsalem's silence after October 7 and her "no proof" position on Hamas rapeThe evidence she dismissed: GoPro footage, forensic reports, DNA, rape kits, survivor testimonyHer redefinition of "sexual violence" to include Israeli security pat-downsHer "gender genocide" accusation against Israel — with no evidence, no investigation, no hesitationThe asymmetric evidentiary standard: Hamas accusations require nothing; Israeli evidence is never enoughUN Women's eight-week silence on October 7 sexual violenceInternal staff revolt at UN Women and the deletion of the acknowledgment statementThe pattern: Alsalem consistently amplifying anti-Israel narratives through outlets with Hamas tiesHow the UN's institutional anti-Israel bias shapes who gets appointed to rights positionsHow genocide lies are born: not from facts, but from people in power deciding whom to believeThis episode argues that the UN — through Reem Alsalem, through UN Women, through its institutional structure — has repeatedly and demonstrably chosen Hamas. That is not a malfunction. It is a feature. And when the global body responsible for protecting women looks at documented rape and says "no proof," it has become something worse than useless. It has become a weapon against the truth.Follow Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes for short, sharp, fact-based episodes on antisemitism explained, the United Nations, October 7, Hamas, media bias in the Middle East, Zionism history, Middle East history, Jewish history, Israel, and anti-Israel myths.#UN #UnitedNations #October7 #Hamas #Antisemitism #AntisemitismExplained #MediaBias #MiddleEast #JewishHistory #ReemAlsalem
