<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="1">Kuwaiti dissident and journalist Jasem Aljuraid delivered a blistering rebuke of the United Nations Human Rights Council this week, criticizing what he described as the international body’s systemic bias against Israel.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="1">Aljuraid, a human rights activist now living as a political refugee in Canada, risked his life and remaining ties to his homeland to expose what he called a &#8220;ritual of condemnation&#8221; that enshrines historical lies.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="2">Speaking before the Council, Aljuraid took direct aim at &#8220;Agenda Item 7,&#8221; a permanent fixture that singles out Israel for mandatory scrutiny at every session — a &#8220;standing requirement&#8221; not applied to any other nation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="5">“I ask the UN, when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?” he began. “Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel how to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace?&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="5">Aljuraid also challenged the use of the term &#8220;colonizers&#8221; in reference to Israel, arguing that the label ignores the region&#8217;s complex history.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="5">&#8220;A Jewish kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land,&#8221; he said. “So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?”</p>
<p data-path-to-node="5">He described Israel&#8217;s fight against Hamas and Iran&#8217;s Revolutionary Guard Corps as part of a broader struggle affecting other nations.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="5">&#8220;Today, Israel is fighting for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas, and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic. What Israel is doing to the IRGC is a gift to humanity,” he said.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="5">Aljuraid went on to emphasize the broader regional context, noting the number of Muslim-majority countries compared to Israel.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel,” he noted. “Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived. I don&#8217;t believe in miracles, but this is one. So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel? Is it not time instead to learn from Israel how to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace?”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Aljuraid, a former senior columnist for Kuwait’s <em data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="86">Al-Qabas</em>, was fired and forced into exile in 2022 after engaging with an Israeli journalist and advocating for normalization under the Abraham Accords. Under Kuwaiti law, such engagement can carry legal consequences.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Despite being labeled a &#8220;Mossad agent&#8221; by extremists and facing legal referral to the Public Prosecutor in Kuwait, Aljuraid remains undeterred.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="6">His plea to the UN was simple but profound: stop the obsession with condemnation and start learning from a nation that successfully defeats terror while maintaining a free society. For Aljuraid, speaking the truth is the only way to honor the indigenous history of the region and secure a peaceful future for all its inhabitants.</p>
