As the President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday, Israel’s UN ambassador attempted to disrupt the speech by holding up a photo that called for the “freedom” of Iranian women, before being escorted out of the building. Western media ate the story up and act deaf, dumb, and blind to the sheer hypocrisy of the world’s sole remaining Apartheid State that routinely slaughters Palestinian women and hosts hardline misogynists in its government.
Israel’s permanent ambassador to the United Nations was peacefully escorted out of the UN’s General Assembly hall in New York, after holding up a sign that read “Iranian women deserve freedom now!”, during the speech of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi. In an embarrassing fashion, the Israeli ambassador awkwardly walked towards the podium where the Iranian leader was making his address, in a failed attempt to disrupt his speech and was intercepted by security guards that led him outside of the hall and had a word with him in private. The sign that Israel’s Gilad Erdan was holding featured a picture of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman who became the symbol of a protest/violent-riot movement that was backed by the West last year. Mahsa Amina died in custody, collapsing suddenly of apparent heart complications — the incident was caught on video, showing her walking around normally before collapsing in a court room. Mahsa Amini was arrested by the Iranian morality police for not properly covering her hair, and there were a number of allegations that surfaced, claiming that she was severely beaten by the Iranian morality police officers. It is unclear as to whether the allegations are true. The movement sparked last year carried the slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom” and received its most staunch backing from Saudi-funded media, along with US and UK State-media.
When Gilad Erdan left the UN building, he carried on his protest on Twitter — stating: “New moral stain for the UN ‼️ When President Raisi of Iran, the “Butcher of Tehran,” began his speech, I waved a picture of Mahsa Amini, the innocent Iranian woman who was brutally murdered by the regime one year ago for not wearing a hijab “properly.” Meanwhile, outside the UN hundreds of Iranians were protesting, begging for help from the international community. I will never stop fighting for the truth and I will always expose the UN’s moral distortions. Those who roll out the red carpet for murderers and antisemites must be held accountable for their actions!”
New moral stain for the UN ‼️

The protest that Gilad Erdan was referencing was held by members of an Iranian cult, known as the Mujahideen el-Khalq (MEK/MKO), which was formerly a proscribed terrorist organization in the US. The followers of the cult have killed tens of thousands of Iranians in terrorist attacks, including by planting bombs in packed civilian centers in Iran, which is why it is still considered a terrorist group by Iran today. The group has also been responsible for the death of Americans, and is connected to organized crime groups, yet nonetheless receives support from the US, Israeli, and Saudi governments, along with others. It’s bad blood with majority of Iranians is often connected to the organization’s decision to side with former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, during the Iran-Iraq war, along with its various terrorist acts against civilians.
Despite the video evidence revealing that the ambassador was never detained at any point and that he was simply spoken to for a brief period following his protest, the Israeli ambassador promoted the idea that he experienced a great injustice and was in fact detained, demonstrating the level of dishonestly surrounding this stunt. Emily Schrader, an Israeli propagandist, posted her own condemnation of the alleged detainment, claiming that a video of Erdan being escorted out of the UN hall, represents “Everything wrong with the UN in one video: the brave Israeli Ambassador standing up to the Islamic Republic is detained at the UN in New York for holding a sign for #MahsaAmini during the speech of the Butcher of Tehran, Ebrahim Raisi. Shame on the UN!”. The Schrader post was retweeted by the Israeli ambassador, attempting to drag the issue on. It is clear that this was a planned action from the Israeli ambassador and came just days after the anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini.
Israel is the only State on earth which has been declared an Apartheid regime by the two top human rights groups on earth — Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International — in addition to Israel’s own top human rights group, B’Tselem. Roughly 7 million Palestinians between the River Jordan and Mediterranean Sea are living under a documented system of racist domination, where, according to the leading human rights groups in the world, Jewish supremacists are afforded all of the rights that are shared by their fellow Western counterpart nations, whereas Palestinians (and even Jewish migrants & refugees) are treated below the level of animals and plant life. However, for the frequent readers of The Last American Vagabond, you would already be privy to just how inhumane the Israeli system of governance is to the indigenous Palestinian population that they are verifiably ethnically cleansing. It is important, however, to note that this does not mean all Jews in Israel are of this Zionist mindset. In fact many Orthodox Jewish communities regularly speak out and protest this supremacist ideology.
What is perhaps even more hypocritical, is that the Israeli UN ambassador is currently representing a government that was openly labelled misogynistic in the Israeli domestic media following its announcement of an all male set of ministers. Haaretz news published an article back in February, stating the following about the ideology behind the far-right government of Benjamin Netanyahu:
“Ignoring women in senior appointments is not a coincidence. It reflects the ideology of the parties in the government coalition quite faithfully. The attempt to set a gender hierarchy, along with the new national and religious agenda, is not limited to just Deputy Minister Avi Maoz (Noam) – who opposes women serving in the IDF and thinks they should be satisfied with marriage and child-rearing – but is also shared by the rest of the Haredi and religious parties, which have anchored their goals in the coalition agreements signed with Likud: expanding gender separation in the academic tracks for the Haredi and Zionist Haredi community; expanding the areas in which the rabbinical courts can decide, such as property rights, employment and contracts; and amending the law banning discrimination, in a way that will allow religious business owners to refuse service to the LGBTQ community or women in tank tops.”
While it is clear that the Israeli regime does not care at all for Iranian women and is simply using the issue in order to virtue signal, it is telling that we are now at a point where no one in the United Nations hall bothered to pay any attention to the awkward, hypocritical protest. Instead, country’s representatives from around the world were too busy paying close attention to the speech of Iran’s President, signaling the change of times internationally and that the tables have now turned. Israel’s antagonizing is just clown-like at this point and only Western media will bother to entertain their tantrums.
