And he has no idea what he is talking about.
There are lots of howlers in the piece, but I want to concentrate on one which is simply too dumb to be believed.
He says, "The Security Council issued a resolution in 1951, contrary to international law, allowing Israel to pass through the Suez Canal."
In 1949, Egypt stopped all shipping that went through the Suez Canal that was bound for Israel, even if they were going to go to other countries. The 1888 Constantinople Convention said that the Suez Canal must remain open for all, even during wartime and even for war vessels, but Egypt cited another article in the convention that said that it could be closed for "the defence of Egypt and the maintenance of public order." After the armistice agreements with Israel, Egypt still refused to re-open the canal for shipping, claiming that it was still in a state of war with Israel, and the entire point of this UN Security Council resolution 95 was to clarify international law, saying that the convention cannot be interpreted to permanently block a single country's shipping.
Back in those days, occasionally, the UN actually took Israel's side. This is before the Soviet Union decided to veto any pro-Israel resolution.
Egypt ignored the resolution and continued to block all Israeli maritime traffic through the Suez Canal. it confiscated millions of dollars worth of cargoheaded towards Israel. On September 28, 1954, the Israeli freighter Bat Galim, bound from Eritrea to Haifa, was detained in the Canal, its crew arrested, and its cargo confiscated. The UN talked about it and did nothing.
To use this as evidence that the UN is pro-Israel is utterly insane.
