What is the United Nations?
The UN is not a marketplace, nor a street square, and certainly not a place where one can casually wave flags as if it were a parade ground.

The very purpose of the United Nations is to promote peace and provide a platform for equal dialogue among all nations of the world.

The right to speak is a system jointly recognized: everyone has the right to speak. But listening is the most basic principle and the most fundamental courtesy.

Yet, at the 2025 General Assembly, when Prime Minister Netanyahu took the podium, those representatives from Arab countries and more chose to walk out collectively. They treated the UN like a marketplace: coming and going as they pleased.

That scene was not courage, but the absence of civilization; not political wisdom, but a display to the world of the barbarism and shame behind them.


The Hypocrisy of Double Standards: The Bullying and Barbarism of These Delegates

These representatives who walked out love to shout, “You must listen to our voice.” But when Israel seeks to express its position, they turn their backs and leave.

Even though the chair repeatedly called for order, they acted willfully, completely disregarding the most basic discipline and rules of the UN General Assembly.

This is blatant double standards, an expression of extreme arrogance and rudeness:

  • When you speak, I must listen;

  • When I speak, you refuse to listen.

Such logic is not equality, but coercion; not respect, but bullying.
The UN is not their private club, nor a stage for selective listening.

Let me ask: if you refuse to listen to Israel, on what grounds do you demand that Israel listen to you?

Israel’s Great-Nation Demeanor

In contrast, Israel displayed a completely different attitude.
When other representatives criticized or even attacked Israel, the Israeli delegates did not walk out. They stayed, listened carefully, and responded within the rules.

When facing empty seats and turned backs, Netanyahu remained calm and composed, firmly stating Israel’s position and presenting the facts clearly before the world.

This is the true bearing of a great nation: respect for institutions, respect for civilization, and respect for the values it upholds.


The Clash Between Civilization and Barbarism

This UN scene was not just a diplomatic episode, but a watershed between civilization and barbarism.

  • Civilization means being willing to listen even when you disagree.

  • Barbarism means demanding others listen to you while you refuse to listen, showing hostility with your back.

The collective walkout of Arab representatives (and more) was cold violence, a betrayal of the institution.

Their logic is: only we may shout, others may not speak. Such an attitude will sooner or later breed the next tragedy of violence and killing—just as Charlie Kirk was murdered simply for speaking.

Meanwhile, the steadfast figure of the Israeli Prime Minister delivering his speech became a symbol of civilization, a testimony to the defense of rules.

Conclusion

Diplomacy is not a street quarrel, but an institutionalized dialogue.
Whoever respects the rules is the civilized party; whoever refuses to listen exposes the essence of barbarism.

This UN moment captured a striking contrast:

  • The departing backs represented hypocrisy, narrowness, and discourtesy;

  • The determined figure of Israel’s Prime Minister represented civilization, resilience, and dignity.

In the confrontation between civilization and barbarism, Israel and the few who were willing to uphold the rules stood as the true defenders.

History will remember: the stage of the United Nations does not belong to those who turn their backs, but to the voices that dare to face truth head-on.

This is a watershed moment. The world is moving toward polarization, and those who uphold civilization may not be the majority—but the majority does not equal truth.

This scene reminded me of the image of the Evil One cast down to the earth in great anger, deceiving many.  (Revelation 12:12)
