Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, called on the international community to cease funding the UN after Friday’s UN general assembly vote, which did not condemn Hamas.

“Every honest country should defund the UN. Until the bias stops and the antisemitism stops, we can no longer continue business as usual,” he told Fox News. Erdan said the recent resolution was “unfathomable”, saying it showed the UN had “completely lost its legitimacy and relevance”.

Sounds like whataboutism to me

The test is usually whether someone is defending the indefensible, or going to absurdity in misdirection.

Like defending some small irrelevant claim that has no bearing on the discussion.

I'm fairly sure I'm calling them hypocrites without defending atrocities. The UAE were kinda already on this shit list and don't readily admit it, AFAIK. That Israel is on the list is a no brainer too.
