The Disturbing Truth About the United Nations: Hillel Neuer of UN Watch

Dec 25, 2025

46:38

In this compelling episode of Behind the Bima, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg sits down with Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, for an unfiltered look behind the scenes of the United Nations—and the global fight against antisemitism, disinformation, and moral inversion. Hillel lives and works on the front lines of international diplomacy, confronting some of the world’s most powerful regimes inside the UN system itself. From exposing systemic bias against Israel to challenging human rights abusers who cloak themselves in moral authority, he shares what it really means to “delegitimize the delegitimizers.” The conversation explores:Why success at the UN often means exposure, not victoryHow dictatorships weaponize the UN’s moral legitimacyThe strategy behind exposing antisemitism on a global stageWhat changed dramatically after October 7Why lies travel faster than truth in international institutionsHow UN Watch achieved a historic first: U.S. sanctions against a UN officialWhat keeps him going in a system that feels stacked against truthThe personal journey that led him from Montreal to Geneva, and why he stayed This is a rare behind-the-scenes conversation with one of the Jewish world’s most effective, articulate defenders, offering clarity, context, and moral courage at a moment when all three are desperately needed.

In this episode of Behind the Bima, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg sits down with Congressman Randy Fine, one of the most outspoken defenders of the Jewish people and the State of Israel in American politics today. This episode is sponsored by Eli & Eva Genauer in observance of the Yahrzeit of his grandfather, Moshe Yehuda ben Binyomin HaLevi Genauer, on the 8th of Kislev. Congressman Fine shares the powerful story behind his decision to wear a kippah every day on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming the first member of Congress in history to do so. What began as a conversation with his teenage son became a defining public statement of Jewish pride at a time when many feel pressure to hide. The conversation explores:Standing visibly Jewish in an era of rising antisemitismThe personal cost—and responsibility—of moral clarityGrowing up Jewish in Kentucky and confronting hate early in lifeFlorida’s role as one of the safest states in America for JewsSchool choice, Jewish day school security, and public policyIsrael after October 7 and the changing political landscapeLeadership, courage, and the price of speaking plainly This is a candid, unscripted discussion about identity, responsibility, and what it means to lead as a Jew in historic times... exactly the kind of conversation Behind the Bima was created to host.
