The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) has launched a global petition campaign demanding the United Nations hold Vanessa Frazier, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, accountable for her recent endorsement of an antisemitic social media post.
Last Saturday, Frazier directly answered X post that featured an image of the Israeli flag with a Nazi swastika replacing the Star of David. “I look forward to constructive engagement — together we can eliminate this scourge and do justice to all victims and survivors,” she wrote.
Look at the disgraceful, @_VanessaFrazier.
Nothing exposes hypocrisy faster than engaging with antisemitic content while pretending to champion human rights.

The CAM petition denounced Frazier, and noted her X reply “did not occur in a vacuum” — highlighting her verbal clash with Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon the previous day and the similar antisemitic rhetoric of UN Special Rapporteurs Francesca Albanese and Reem Alsalem.
“The United Nations cannot continue to extend the credibility of its offices to those who amplify hatred against the Jewish people,” the petition — addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres — said.
The petition’s demanded the UN “act without delay” to:
— Open a formal, transparent review of Ms. Frazier’s social media conduct, to be concluded promptly.
— Suspend Ms. Frazier from her duties pending the review’s findings.
— Apply the same standard to any UN official, including Ms. Albanese, found to have used their platform to promote antisemitic narratives or blood libels.
— Adopt binding conduct standards prohibiting senior officials from amplifying disinformation or content from documented purveyors of hate.
— Issue a clear public statement affirming that the United Nations will not serve as a platform for antisemitism.

The full text of the petition follows:
We, the undersigned, write regarding the public conduct of Vanessa Frazier, the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict. Her recent activity on X raises grave concerns about her fitness to hold one of the United Nations’ most sensitive human-rights mandates.
On the night of Saturday, June 20, 2026, Ms. Frazier replied approvingly to an X account that had posted an image of the Israeli flag defaced with a swastika, equating the Jewish state with Nazi Germany. She wrote that she “look forward to constructive engagement — together we can eliminate this scourge and do justice to all victims and survivors.” For a senior UN official to extend goodwill to an account trafficking in one of the oldest and most dangerous antisemitic libels is indefensible.
This did not occur in a vacuum. It came one day after a tense public confrontation between Ms. Frazier and Israel’s Permanent Representative to the UN at the commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, where Ms. Frazier attempted to interrupt the Ambassador’s remarks. That an official entrusted with protecting children in conflict would, within twenty-four hours, lend public goodwill to antisemitic imagery speaks to a troubling pattern of judgment.
Her conduct reflects a wider problem within the institution. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has repeatedly equated Israel with Nazi Germany, rhetoric condemned by numerous governments as antisemitic. When officials holding the UN’s highest mandates lend legitimacy to such themes, they risk normalizing antisemitism within the United Nations itself.
The pattern extends further. UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem of Jordan, has publicly claimed there is no evidence of sexual violence by Hamas against Israeli women on October 7 — a statement contradicted by extensive documentation from Israeli forensic teams, international media, and a UN special envoy report. Worse, when confronted during a public event by Ilana Gritzewsky, a survivor of the October 7 attacks, Ms. Alsalem refused to acknowledge.
Ilana Gritzewsky’s story demands to be heard. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists stormed her home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, murdered her partner, and abducted her into Gaza. During her captivity, she was subjected to severe physical and sexual abuse, including rape, at the hands of her captors. After 54 days of unimaginable suffering, she was released as part of a hostage deal. When she later stood before Ms. Alsalem — one of the most senior UN officials entrusted with protecting women from violence — and told her what had been done to her, Ms. Alsalem could not bring herself to acknowledge it. She walked away.
Watch Gritzewsky’s testimony HERE:
The United Nations cannot continue to extend the credibility of its offices to those who amplify hatred against the Jewish people. We call upon you to act without delay:
— Open a formal, transparent review of Ms. Frazier’s social media conduct, to be concluded promptly.
— Suspend Ms. Frazier from her duties pending the review’s findings.
— Apply the same standard to any UN official, including Ms. Albanese, found to have used their platform to promote antisemitic narratives or blood libels.
— Adopt binding conduct standards prohibiting senior officials from amplifying disinformation or content from documented purveyors of hate.
— Issue a clear public statement affirming that the United Nations will not serve as a platform for antisemitism.
The United Nations was founded on the principles of human dignity and equality. When officials holding its highest mandates lend legitimacy to those who compare Israel to Nazi Germany, they betray those founding principles. The world’s Jewish communities deserve an institution that protects them, not one whose officials amplify hatred against them.
