In the last few decades the United Nations has been obsessed with one country. Is it North Korea, Zimbabwe, Iran, Syria, China or some other nation with a reprehensible human rights record? Those would all be fair guesses and they would all be wrong. Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Human Rights Institute, answers this riddle and explains the upside down moral universe in which the United Nations resides.

Understanding UN Bias Against Israel
The United Nations has made the democratic State of Israel the target of incessant condemnation while neglecting its mandate in challenging the oppressive regimes around the world. The following video uncovers the factors behind the UN’s bias against Israel
Suicide Killers
This feature documentary takes the audience on a disturbing journey deep into a culture that few can comprehend — that of suicide bombers. Filmmaker Pierre Rehov examines the phenomenon of suicide bombers through rare and never-before-seen interviews with actual family members of terrorists the prisoners whose bombing attempts have been thwarted and exclusive footage of a terror bomber as he prepares for mission. One important fact this documentary uncovers is that suicide bombing and the killing of innocent people has more to do with twisted religious doctrines than Israeli occupation.
Is Israel An Apartheid State?
It’s a claim that’s been made for years, by Israel’s critics and
enemies. “Israel is an apartheid state”. That is, Israel treats
Palestinians, the way black South Africans were treated in the days of
apartheid. But is the claim true? Are Arabs in Israel really treated
as second-class citizens? Is Israel a racist nation? Watch this video and judge for yourself.
Jerusalem: The Media Myth of Two Cities
The history of Jerusalem did not start in 1967. Thousands of years of Jewish history took place in what is now called “Arab East Jerusalem.” Only when the Jewish residents were driven from their homes in 1948 was the city divided between East and West. This video shows the reality of Jerusalem today and includes interviews from 1948 Jewish refugees of the Jordanian take over of Jerusalem.

Pallywood IV – Gaza Beach Tragedy
On September 6, 2006, an explosion on a Gaza beach killed a family. immediately and without any form of investigation, Palestinians and
MSM blamed Israel. This “fact” was reinforced as the world media repeatedly showed poor Huda Ghalia a young girl grieving wildly next to her dead family. What really happened? Apparently the family touched a Palestinian land mine, one of many that litter the Gaza beaches. What did the world media do with this? A grotesque exploitation of grief that was used to further pollute Israel’s reputation to the international community
“Pallywood”
The term “Pallywood” refers to the staging of scenes by Palestinian
journalists in order to present the Palestinians as hapless victims of
Israeli aggression. They are able to succeed in this endeavor in large
part due to the credulity and eagerness of the Western press to present
these images, which reinforce the image of the Palestinian David
struggling valiantly against the overpowering Israeli Goliath. Pallywood
has led to astonishing lapses in Western journalistic standards in
which badly staged scenes regularly appear on the news as “real events.”
For those interested in an in-depth look into how propaganda is really produced and created, this is a must see.
