Israeli and Jewish Targets Conspicuously Absent as UN Marks Day of Solidarity With Terrorism Victims

‘Memories,’ an exhibition mounted by the UN’s counterterrorism office, includes 14 panels containing pictures and stories of victims and their loved ones but nothing about the Hamas attack of October 7 or any Israeli or Jewish victims around the world.

As the United Nations marks a day of solidarity with victims of acts of terrorism Wednesday, it is studiously avoiding one date when the largest terrorist attack per capita on record occurred: October 7, 2023.   

“Memories,” an exhibition mounted by the UN’s counterterrorism office at the organization’s New York headquarters, includes 14 panels containing pictures and stories of victims and their loved ones. Although Israel is besieged by terrorist acts, none of the panels contains any mention of attacks on Israeli or Jewish victims around the world. Nor is October 7 referenced in an official UN statement on the day of solidarity’s commemoration.
