This clip exemplifies what this man meant to us.

[Danny Danon 🇮🇱 דני דנון @dannydanon]

For years, Israel warned that Hamas had infiltrated UNRWA.

No terrorist deserves a UN badge, a UN paycheck, or the protection of the UN.

Now, after UNRWA dismissed 70 employees linked to terrorist organizations in Gaza, the international community should finally heed Israel’s warnings.

The dispute stems from a heated confrontation on June 19 between Danon and Vanessa Frazier, the U.N. special representative for children and armed conflict and Malta’s former U.N. ambassador. During a U.N. event marking the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, Frazier repeatedly interrupted Danon as he challenged the findings of a report by Pramila Patten, the U.N. secretary-general’s special representative on sexual violence in conflict. Reuters reported that the exchange escalated into a shouting match.

Danon criticized Patten’s recent report, which for the first time placed Israeli security forces on the U.N.’s annual blacklist of parties suspected of conflict-related sexual violence, alongside groups such as Hamas, ISIS and Boko Haram. Israel has strongly rejected the allegations.

Patten had conceded to the media that it is not the job of her office to verify claims in the report, and Danon accused her of acquiescing to demands by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres to blacklist Jerusalem.

Frazier broke protocol by shouting at Danon in defense of her co-worker, with the envoy telling her to be quiet or leave.

[Zionist Organization of America @ZOA_National]

ZOA National President Morton A. Klein released a statement demanding the dismissal of UN official Vanessa Frazier, citing antisemitic social media posts, false allegations against Israel, and repeated disruptions of Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon at the United Nations. 

"ZOA strongly agrees with Ambassador Danon’s June 24 UN speeches condemning Frazier’s blood libels and vowing that Israel will not be silenced by Frazier’s antisemitic conduct and Amb. Danon’s conclusion in his June 24 letter to the UN Security Council, to wit: 'Ms. Frazier’s conduct is incompatible with the standards of integrity, impartiality, and professionalism required of an Under-Secretary General.'"

Danny Danon, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations:

"Israel will not be silenced. Not by Ms. Freizer, or the Secretary-General, or any UN official who thinks they can publish accusations against Israel and then cut off our response."

He's incredible.

[Roz Rothstein @RozRothstein]

A UN official engaged with an antisemitic post - replacing the Star of David with a swastika on Israel's flag. Instead of condemning it, she replied: "I look forward to constructive engagement."

That official is Vanessa Frazier, the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict.

Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon publicly exposed her record - engaging with antisemitic social media accounts, amplifying unfounded accusations against Israel, and demonstrating systemic bias - and is now calling on Secretary-General António Guterres to launch an official investigation.

[Danny Danon 🇮🇱 דני דנון @dannydanon]

I am calling for a review of the continued tenure of UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative Vanessa Frazier.

Ms. Frazier has promoted falsehoods about Israel and amplified antisemitic content on social media.

There is no place for individuals like her within the international community.

[Combat Antisemitism Movement @CombatASemitism]

No Antisemitism in the Name of Human Rights. The UN cannot claim moral authority while tolerating antisemitism from its own officials.

This UN official was caught LYING.

She left the evidence all over Twitter 👇

[B’nai B’rith International @BnaiBrith]

U.N. official @_VanessaFrazier—a former representative of Malta—has a track record of singular negative fixation on Israel, with trigger-happy, biased social media posting inconsistent with her obligations to impartiality and to all member states at the world body.

She recently highlighted and seemed to take at face value an anti-Semite’s libelous claim that Israel drops explosive toys to target children in Lebanon; earlier, she suggested that Israel may deliberately “execute” Christians in Gaza. Now, she has incomprehensibly lifted up and amicably engaged with a tweet replacing the Star of David with a swastika on Israel’s flag.

It is far past time the U.N. leadership disavow and denounce anti-Semitism—including when it is abetted and fueled within the body's own ranks.

Wow. Just wow. We need to hold people with tittles accountable for their lies.

And she did delete it. Thanks for sharing the archive.

[Dan Goldwasser @dgoldwas]

@TheMossadIL @_VanessaFrazier And it's archived in case she tries to dirty delete.

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

@_VanessaFrazier @dannydanon You are only digging yourself into a deeper hole:

• You DID engage the Nazi post. See in red: when replying to you, the Nazi poster is in the thread.

• The underlying video post—to which you claim you responded—wasn’t even from the Ambassador, but from an anti-Israel account.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

“UN official” @_VanessaFrazier claims she was replying to @dannydanon and the replies simply appeared under each other, but I just scrolled back to the original.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

You are lying.

[Shawn Eni @ShawnEni]

Watch @dannydanon rightly put Vanessa Frazier (UN Rep for Children & Armed Conflict) in her place as he tried to respond to the asinine and lie-based decision to blacklist Israel for committing sexual violence in conflict zones.

The UN Israel-obsession is truly beyond control.

Μόλις τώρα, κατά τη διάρκεια της παρελάσεως, Israel Day on Fifth που διεξάγεται αυτή την ώρα στην Πέμπτη Λεωφόρο της Νέας Υόρκης, για την υποστήριξη του Κράτους του @Israel και που τιμά την 78η Ημέρα Ανεξαρτησίας του Ισραήλ αλλά και τη βαθιά σύνδεση της εβραϊκής διασποράς με το κράτος του Ισραήλ -κάτω από πρωτοφανή μέτρα ασφαλείας και για πρώτη φορά στην ιστορία της με την απουσία του Δημάρχου της Νέας Υόρκης- ο Πρέσβης του Ισραήλ στα Ηνωμένα Έθνη @dannydanon μου έστειλε προσωπικό βίντεο, στο οποίο με ευχαριστεί δημόσια για τις ξεκάθαρες και θαρραλέες δημόσιες τοποθετήσεις μου υπέρ του Ισραήλ.

Ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό είναι το γεγονός ότι με τον κ. Danny Danon δεν γνωριζόμαστε προσωπικά. Η επικοινωνία αυτή έγινε μέσα από τη φιλία και τη σχέση εμπιστοσύνης που έχει αναπτυχθεί από τον κοινό μας φίλο Michael Pitsinos, ο οποίος αθόρυβα έχει γίνει γέφυρα μεταξύ της Ελληνικής και της Εβραϊκής Διασποράς, γεγονός που αποδεικνύει πόσο σημαντικό ρόλο μπορεί να διαδραματίσει η Ομογένεια στην ενίσχυση των στρατηγικών σχέσεων Ελλάδας–Ισραήλ.

Σε μια περίοδο διεθνούς αστάθειας, πιστεύω ότι οι σχέσεις μεταξύ του Ελληνικού και του Εβραϊκού Λαού γίνονται ολοένα και πιο ισχυρές, βασισμένες σε κοινές δημοκρατικές αξίες, αμοιβαίο σεβασμό και ξεκάθαρες θέσεις απέναντι στην τρομοκρατία και τον αντισημιτισμό.»

“Just now, during the parade taking place on Fifth Avenue in New York under unprecedented security measures, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, sent me a personal video in which he publicly thanked me for my clear and courageous public statements in support of Israel.

What is particularly significant is that Danny Danon and I do not know each other personally. This communication came through the friendship and relationship of trust developed by our mutual friend Michael Pitsinos, who has quietly become a bridge between the Greek and Jewish Diasporas, demonstrating how important a role the Greek-American community can play in strengthening the strategic relations between Greece and Israel.

At a time of international instability, I believe that the ties between the Greek and Jewish worlds are becoming increasingly stronger, based on shared democratic values, mutual respect, and clear positions against terrorism and antisemitism.
