The UN’s double standards are impossible to ignore—why does it condemn Israel so fiercely while downplaying atrocities elsewhere? In our latest episode, we confront the shocking biases within the United Nations—spotlighting how officials like Francesca Albanese downplay Hamas as a mere "political entity" and reframe acts of terror as "armed resistance." We reveal how the UN disproportionately targets Israel with resolutions, overlooks atrocities elsewhere, and exposes its own credibility crisis. We also dig into the controversy surrounding UNRWA and challenge widespread narratives about the Israel-Hamas conflict.  Can the UN truly be trusted as an impartial defender of human rights?

Speaker 1 (00:03):
what is going on?
David, you know it is myfavorite day of the week.
Seeing you for the last fiveyears, for just about every
single friday, is something thatI get to actually oh, don't

(00:23):
bromance me, buddy.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Come on, don't bromance me, buddy now.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now it's national uh, being national, wiener day, I
think that it's very apropos ondiscussing some of the biggest
on the international stage.
You know, hypocrisy runsrampant in government.

(00:48):
Hypocrisy runs rampant ininternational government, but
you know where hypocrisy runs atthe highest level the United
Nations.
Welcome everybody to the RantNetwork, a go-to podcast that's
unfiltered, unapologetic, hostedby myself, stuart Briscount,

(01:09):
and my co-host, and sometimesthe host, that's David Solomon.
As we tackle the first range oftopics, candid conversations,
hold and bold opinions, whetherit's breaking down the latest
headlines or exploring popculture, debating politics or
delving into complexities ofmodern life.
So grab a seat, settle in andjoin us on this

(01:29):
thought-provoking littlechit-chat.
So you know, david and I in thegreen room were
yakety-yak-yak-yak about UnitedNations today, because we're
tired of talking about Donald JTrump.
We're tired of talking aboutHyena, kamala Harris or any of
the Democrat-Republican splits.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
This is something that has been going on for such
a long time, where people talkout of two sides of the mouth,
and today their big mouth isjust so vile that David put on
glasses to tell you about davidI have no idea where that last
part came in, but anyways,ladies and gentlemen, I gotta

(02:12):
tell you the the united nationsis not just a hypocrisy, it's
not just full of garbage,they're blatant racists, blatant
Overt, they can't hide it.
The wokiest of wokeorganizations, you think?
No, plain old anti-Semitic.

(02:33):
And it starts with theSecretary General, gutierrez,
who has done nothing to stopHamas, in fact encouraged Hamas,
did nothing to stop the Houthis, did nothing to do to stop, you
know, hezbollah, nothing to doto stop Iran, but blamed Israel

(02:55):
since October the 7th foreverything, if you recall, he
said well, you can't blame thePalestinians for what they did.
Remember, 1,200 killed, peoplewere raped, babies were burnt,
and so on and so on.
That was the United Nations.
The body that's supposed to beprotecting the peace was

(03:17):
protecting a piece of the MiddleEast for Palestinians.
That's all that mattered.
For Palestinians, that's allthat mattered.
So when you look at who theyhire, or who are nominated, or
who are the representatives, thename Francesca Albanese Is one
of the bitchiest, nastiestAnti-Semites that keeps getting

(03:37):
her job back.
Gee, she is the UNrepresentative For the rights of
the Palestinians.
You couldn't come up with amore stupid name, stupid title,
stupid responsibility.
The United Nations has no desireto protect the Palestinians.

(03:58):
It's fodder, it's the tool togo after Israel.
Because, if you see whathappened recently, the Gaza
humanitarian fund, set up by theUnited States and Israel and
has been supported by othercountries, with air drops of
food for Palestinians.
Palestinians were getting thefood, but the UN said no, no, no

(04:20):
, you shouldn't do it, you can'tbe here, leave it with us.
Every truck that the UN touchedwent to Hamas, the Gaza
Humanitarian Fund.
The food actually got to thePalestinians, but UN said don't
Remember, this is the samepeople who brought you UNRWA,
the United Nations ReliefWorkers Association, to help the
Palestinians.
And what do they do?
They set up schools to teachanti-Semitism.

(04:43):
They have terrorists, you know.
They have teachers who becometerrorists.
And it went in on October the7th and it's been proven time
and time again.
It's the same group that sentall of your money, all of your
tax money, to Hamas to build 500miles of tunnels under Gaza,
instead of building upinfrastructure, giving them a

(05:04):
livelihood.
So is it any wonder thatFrancesca Albanese stands up
last Sunday and says you got itwrong?
People, all of the world hasgot it wrong, because her belief
is that Hamas is a politicalforce that won the elections in
2005.
Whether we like it or not,hamas built schools, public

(05:26):
facilities, hospitals.
It was simply the authority,the de facto authority.
She says it's critical.
You understand, when you thinkof Hamas, you should not
necessarily think of cutthroats,people armed to the teeth or
fingers.
It's not like that.
She says they're a politicalentity.
Now wait a minute.
Let's stop for a second here,stuart, Because in this case,

(05:50):
one thing that the United States, canada, england, france,
australia, the European Unionall agree is that Hamas is a
designated terroristorganization.
They agree on it.
How they handle it is a wholeother thing, but she decided
they're a political entity.
So if they're a politicalentity, then you need to treat

(06:12):
them like Russia, russia whoinvaded the Ukraine.
You need to sanction them.
You need to sanction them thesame way.
You need to treat them the sameway as a political entity.
They should be up for warcrimes, which they're not.
They should be up for not onlywar crimes, but for humanitarian
neglect of their own people,because they built these

(06:34):
500-mile tunnels and, instead ofbringing the people underground
, they left them above ground.
But Francesca Albanese wantsyou to understand that Hamas
aren't terrorists.
They're innocent.
They should not be heldaccountable for anything they
have done before, during orafter October the 7th.

(06:56):
This is her statement.
She has been saying it a longtime.
She has been saying it a longtime.
She added for years you have aright to resist this occupation.
She calls this a genocide.
Israel is committing genocide.
She hasn't stopped saying thatshe distorted the Holocaust.

(07:18):
She's promoted anti-Semitism incountries like France, like
Germany, like Canada.
She's come in and she's beeninvited by all of these

(07:41):
anti-Semites to talk even moreabout how Israel is in the wrong
.
And we've said this time andtime again, stuart, it's not
possible that one entity is 100%wrong.
And in this case, when I hearpeople saying listen, listen,
listen, you got to understand.
This is complicated.
No, it's not complicated.
Francesca Albanese and theUnited Nations have done nothing
to support Israel.
There are more resolutionspassed against Israel every year

(08:04):
than all the other membernations combined.
There are.
Imagine Russia invades Ukraine,sent in hundreds of drones,
this week blew up an Americancompany, went crazy, has killed
tens of thousands of civilians.
But it's Israel who gets theresolution, the resolutions, not

(08:26):
Russia.
There are massacres andgenocides in Africa.
Muslim gangs, groups have goneon and massacred entire
communities of Christians.
Not a peep.
But Israel is FrancescaAlbanese's little toy.
She wants to see it erased offthe map.

(08:47):
She would love to see, from theriver to the sea, be Palestine,
not a Jew.
She would adore Hitler.
She would adore Hitler, shewould adore Stalin.
She would adore any of thesetype of people, these maniacal
authoritarianists who want tosee Jews eradicated and erased.

(09:07):
And this, ladies and gentlemen,is who the UN voted in to help
Palestinians.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Palestinians.
All right, but let's let's sortof jump in.
Since May 22, she served theUnited Nations as a special
rapporteur to the situation ofhuman rights.
Her statement, basically, arecliched over Palestinian
territory occupied since 1957.
She is Italian, she's notfrench, uh, you know.

(09:36):
2014, she posted invoking ajewish lobby where she uh,
during 2014 gas war, she wrotean american subjugated by the
jewish lobby right where shebasically accused the us
government on being jewish andthe jews of the American
government are the onesfacilitating this thing.

(09:58):
2015, she imagines a Nazitrooper as a Jewish victim of
Israel's soldiers againstPalestinians, where she depicted
the neo-Nazism as being theJews, not the Palestinians.
October 7th it's not becausethey were Jewish, was her
language that she used, whereshe is vehemently opposed to the

(10:20):
state of Israel and says Israelis oppressing the Palestinians.
Anyways, endorsingNetanyahu-Hitler comparison.
That was last year.
The armed resistance is whatGaza was in Gaza bodies, and
that's what she really has beensaying since 2022.
The government what else do youwant me to say here?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
She got it we got it, we got it, we got it.
You can read her list of of ofcriminal statements.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
So she denies being an anti-Semite and even after
the Hitler comparison of 24, ittriggered an immediate us
diplomatic rebuke, calling heran anti-Semite and that it was
anti-Semitic, adding acumulative record tied to her
and her government watchdogRight.
She regrets the clarificationof her remarks from 2014.

(11:12):
You know like these people liketo say fuck you, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Fuck you.
Oh no, she didn't say I'm sorry.
When did she you I'm sorry,fuck you?

Speaker 1 (11:20):
oh no, she didn't say I'm sorry she didn't.
When did she say?
I'm sorry, she's sorry yes, shedid she no.
No, no, you are incorrect.
She rebuked no.
She subsequently regretsclarification of her 2014 and
her 2024 tweet.
Her stance is legalized,framing it as contextual and not
mooted Official termination.

(11:41):
So she's trying to whitewaterthis.
She's not apologizing.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Oh, I regret is not an apology.
I agree.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I agree, but she regretted but tried to counter
Spare me, I don't have to spareyou.
I think she is a wonderfulhuman being that should be hung
from a tree.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, no, let her go to Gaza.
Let her go to Gaza, if you'reso happy to go to Gaza.
Look, stuart, you know.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
David, should we start a GoFundMe page for her to
go to?

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Gaza.
Stop it.
Stop with your GoFundMe pages.
Listen, mike Huckabee, who isthe ambassador in Israel.
Should we start a GoFundMe pagefor her to go to Gaza?
Stop it.
Stop with your GoFundMe pages.
Listen, mike Huckabee, who isthe ambassador in Israel.
He's like he listened to thisand he's like what are you
bloody nuts?
And he said the most stunningstatement.
She made the most offensivecomment she says heard in a
generation is that Hamas builtschools.
And he says quote that's asstupid as saying Hannibal Lecter

(12:36):
made creative culinary dishes.
So you know when you think aboutwhat this woman espouses.
She espouses a genocide.
She wants to see a genocide,but not the Palestinians, but
Jews, israel.
And this is the United Nations,a body that's supposed to

(12:56):
uphold human rights, that issupposed to uphold the rights of
nations.
There are more egregiousnations out there than Israel,
but, of course, the only countrythat matters to the UN, the
only bitch that everybody goesafter, is Israel, and her
statement simply is you can'tblame the palestinians.

(13:20):
The what, what she said, whichwas phenomenal, and to go back
to what you just said a secondago is that she doesn't see what
happened on october 7th as aterrorist attack.
She called it an armedresistance.
You want to talk about wateringdown a crime.
That's like saying you didn'tmurder someone, you just you

(13:46):
know, listen, you have to movethem away.
What do you?
You know murder is murder.
I there's no other way todescribe it if you don't like
the word murder.
You don't want to talk aboutthe killing of the 1200 people.
How does rape and how doesburning babies?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
how is that a resistance?
You know, david, like we saidbefore and you said it in the
green room, but you didn'tmention it.
Now, and as we get to a close,they want to call gaza a
government, uh, the palestinianas a government, hamas as a
government, and when agovernment decides to go into
another country, it's calledwhat, david?

Speaker 2 (14:25):
stewart, if you would re-listen to this broadcast,
you will hear me saying that itis a war crime.
They committed.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I wanted to invoke you to say it again, okay.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Well, here's the thing you, if you, if they're a
government, they're guilty ofwar crimes.
If they're a terroristorganization, they get to be
slaughtered.
So which?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
is they.
They decided to have netanyahucharged for war crimes, but the
leader of hamas wasn't chargedfor war crimes.
Have you noticed?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
no, no, actually no, he wasn't, he was, he was.
But have you noticed?
No, actually no, he was.
But if you would look at theICC, the International Criminal
Court's way of handling it, itwas kind of like yeah, you too.
But Netanyahu and formerdefense minister Galant were
both charged in absentia to beblah, blah, blah.

(15:15):
But think about it Country bycountry.
What do political leaders say?
Oh, if Netanyahu comes here, Iwas trying to get to that.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I never heard the French.
I never heard these othergovernments say if this guy
comes here, we're going to putyou in shackles.
I never heard that, david.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Francesca Albanze would be happier than happy if
she were to do that.
This woman would love to seenetanyahu taken away in shackles
.
Okay, she is incredible how shebelieves that, that she just

(15:53):
wants to change the narrative.
She's accused of businesses ofarming Israel, of arming a
genocidal government.
You know the word genocide.
It's so funny how it's thrownout and she threw it out.
If she would see the definitionof genocide and Stuart, I've

(16:15):
got to wrap it up with this IfIsrael wanted to commit genocide
, it would have been done in oneafternoon.
They would have bombed theliving crap out of Gaza, they
would have flattened it, killedeverybody in an afternoon.
That sounds like Putin, though.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's what Putin did and do it Wow.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Putin.
Though that's what Putin didand do it You're telling me in
two years, the best military inthe world couldn't do the job,
but she wants to continue tomake you believe, and all the
lefties and all the world tocontinue to believe, that Hamas
isn't in the wrong Israel's.
It's a campaign of genocide.

(16:53):
The move is to destroyPalestinians.
She has been urging companiesto cease dealing with Israel.
She's called for accountabilityquote, unquote to the CEOs
under international humanitarianlaw.
You want to talk about how youcould twist words that woman
instead of screaming at Hamas.
If she's here to help thePalestinians, then you tell me

(17:16):
why hasn't she called on Hamasto set up shelters?
Why isn't she telling Hamas tolay down your arms, return the
50 hostages, stop the war.
Think about that.
If she's really caring aboutthe lives of the Palestinians,
then Hamas should just say stopthe war.
What can I tell you?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
That's it.
