UN Places Israel on Same List as Hamas and ISIS for Sexual Violence Claims
Faith Facts
- United Nations added Israel to its blacklist of entities accused of sexual violence in conflict zones, placing the democratic nation alongside terrorist organizations Hamas and ISIS
- Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon condemned the decision as disconnected from facts and reality, calling it a moral failure by the international body
- The controversial listing comes despite documented evidence of sexual violence committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians during the October 7 attacks
In a stunning and morally questionable decision, the United Nations has placed the nation of Israel on its official blacklist of entities accused of committing sexual violence in conflict zones. Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon announced the controversial designation Thursday, expressing outrage at the international body’s choice to equate the democratic Jewish state with barbaric terrorist organizations.
The UN’s annual report on conflict-related sexual violence now lists Israel in the same category as Hamas and ISIS, two radical Islamic terrorist groups responsible for countless atrocities against innocent civilians. This deeply troubling moral equivalence represents yet another example of the UN’s apparent bias against Israel and its right to defend itself against terrorist aggression.
This decision is disconnected from facts and reality. It represents a moral failure by the United Nations,
Ambassador Danon stated.
The timing and context of this designation raise serious questions about the UN’s credibility and commitment to objective truth. Hamas terrorists committed well-documented acts of sexual violence against Israeli civilians during their brutal October 7 massacre, which claimed over 1,200 innocent lives. Survivors and witnesses have provided harrowing testimony about the systematic rape and sexual torture inflicted by Hamas militants.
Yet the UN has chosen to place Israel—a nation with robust legal protections, an independent judiciary, and military codes of conduct—on the same list as these terrorist organizations. The decision ignores the fundamental difference between a democratic nation defending its citizens and terrorist groups that deliberately target civilians and use sexual violence as a weapon of war.
This latest UN action continues a disturbing pattern of disproportionate scrutiny and condemnation directed at Israel while ignoring or minimizing the atrocities committed by its enemies. For many American Christians who support Israel based on biblical principles and shared democratic values, this decision reinforces concerns about international institutions abandoning moral clarity in favor of political agendas.
The blacklist designation could have practical implications for Israel’s international standing and its ability to cooperate with UN agencies. However, Israeli officials have made clear they will not be deterred from defending their nation and citizens against ongoing terrorist threats, regardless of unjust international pressure.
American conservatives and people of faith must continue standing with Israel against such biased and factually unsupported attacks. The moral difference between a democratic nation under siege and the terrorist organizations seeking its destruction could not be clearer, regardless of what politically motivated UN reports may claim.

- Over three million homes across battleground states have received visits from pro-life volunteers seeking to inform voters about abortion policy.
- Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is mobilizing grassroots supporters to protect unborn life at both state and federal levels.
- Faith-driven activism is shaping the midterm conversation on protecting the sanctity of human life.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America has announced that its volunteers have completed more than three million home visits in key battleground states. The effort comes as voters prepare to cast ballots that could determine the direction of abortion policy nationwide.
These visits are part of a broader push to engage citizens directly on the sanctity of life. Organizers say the conversations are centered on protecting the unborn and restoring a culture that values every human life from conception.
“We are reaching voters where they live because the lives of unborn children depend on it,”
Local volunteers have reported strong interest from families who are grateful for the information and encouragement. Many households have expressed concern over recent court rulings and legislative efforts that continue to threaten the unborn.
The organization believes that personal, face-to-face outreach remains one of the most effective ways to build lasting support for pro-life policies. As the midterms approach, these efforts are intensifying in states where abortion-related measures may appear on ballots.
“Every visit plants a seed of truth that can grow into a vote for life,”
With millions of homes already contacted, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America plans to expand its reach in the final weeks before Election Day. The group is urging Christians and others who value traditional family principles to stay engaged and vote their convictions.

Grand Canyon University is advancing plans to open a law school that will train future attorneys in both legal excellence and a biblical foundation. The Phoenix-based Christian institution announced the appointment of local attorney James L. Williams as the school’s first dean.
The decision reflects a growing desire among Christian families and leaders for legal education that upholds traditional values rather than progressive ideologies. Williams will guide the development of curriculum and faculty that prioritize truth, integrity, and religious liberty.
