Wearing a yellow Star of David, Israeli ambassador tells UN, 'I will make you remember the shame of your silence'

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan said the world is as silent now as it was during the Holocaust.

“When Jewish babies were burned in Auschwitz, the world was silent, and today Jewish babies were burned in Be'eri and the towns of the south by the Nazi Hamas - and the world is silent again,” Erdan told the United National Security Council (UNSC) during a meeting on Monday.

The ambassador wore a yellow star of David with the words “Never again," and said he would continue to wear it until the UNSC condemns the Oct. 7 massacre by Hamas, responsible for over 1,400 brutal murders and more than 240 hostages being held captive in Gaza.

“I will make you remember the shame of your silence every time you look at me,” Erdan said told the members of the UNSC.

“I will wear the yellow patch until the Nazi Hamas is eliminated and until the Security Council stops being silent and condemns the October 7 massacre. Some of you have learned nothing in the last 80 years! Some of you have forgotten why the United Nations was founded. So I will remind you. From today on, every time you look at me, you will remember.”

Erdan said the world was silent during the Holocaust and that it is silent now, when Jewish babies have once more been burned.

“When my grandfather and his children were sent to Auschwitz, the world was silent. When his wife and their seven children were sent to the gas chambers, the world was silent. When their bodies were burned alongside millions of other Jewish children, the world was silent,” Erdan stated.

Erdan declared that the UN would have been useless during World War II, before concluding that, despite the pledge of “never again,” an atrocity similar to the Holocaust had, nevertheless, once more taken place.

“If this council had convened in June 1944, it would have dealt with the amount of fuel the Nazis had and the high death toll Germany had compared to Britain. You would have called for a ceasefire even before the Russians took over Stalingrad. My grandfather's story is a horror story of another time. Of a distant time of unimaginable hatred. A time about which, until three weeks ago, we said 'never again.' But 'never again' happened again.”

The Israeli ambassador clearly affirmed that the Iranian-backed Hamas terror group desires the extermination of the Jews, which makes them no different than the Nazis in this regard.

“Hamas, they are modern Nazis – from their appalling inhumane violence to their ideology that calls for the extermination of the Jews. Hamas is not looking for a 'solution' to the conflict. They are not interested in dialogue. The only solution Hamas is interested in is the 'Final Solution' – the extermination of the Jewish people,” Erdan said.

“However, Ismail Haniyeh – the leader of Hamas – is not Adolf Hitler. He is not the Führer. He is not the leader of this death cult, which wants to rule the world. This role is played by the Supreme Leader of Iran, the bloodthirsty Ayatollah Khamenei,” he added.

Erdan compared Khamenei’s ambition of regional hegemony to that of Hitler’s Third Reich and enumerated the various Iranian proxies working towards that goal.

“Hitler's Third Reich wanted to create a thousand-year empire spanning continents, just as Khamenei envisions his radical Shi'ite hegemony spanning the region and beyond. The Ayatollah regime is the Nazi regime of our time, and their army includes Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the IRGC and other jihadists."

"Instead of shouting 'Sieg Heil!' [Hail to Victory!] these radical Nazi Islamists shout, ‘Death to Israel! Death to America! Death to England!’”
