Israel's row with the UN.

The Israeli government is misrepresenting, some might say deliberately, the words "didn't happen in a vacuum" to mean that there was provocation and hence the actions of Hamas were justified. However, the statement from the UN chief included the following:

[quote]I have condemned unequivocally the horrifying and unprecedented 7 October acts of terror by Hamas in Israel.

Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring and kidnapping of civilians – or the launching of rockets against civilian targets.

All hostages must be treated humanely and released immediately and without conditions. I respectfully note the presence among us of members of their families[/quote]

So to claim that the UN is justifying Hamas' recent actions is disingenuous. The UN is doing what it is supposed to do. No state or nation should be beyond scrutiny and indeed criticism.

Gee, if those "innocent civilians" in gaza don't like the raghead terrorists using their land to lob rockets and kill Israelis, they should toss the raghead terrorists out

Israel is being totally ignorant of the consequences of treating a population like that. Doesn't excuse what Hamas has done, but it's literally just like looking at someone who was raised by shitty parents. Doesn't excuse that person going on to hurt others, but it explains why they are messed up to begin with

This is part of an Israeli attempt to control the narrative, and shame the world into accepting the Netanyahu government's version of the story.

Inclusion of any sub-contexts, and even the main context, which is the occupation of Palestinian land and the absence of a Palestinian State, will force people to take into consideration the suffering of the Palestinian people, and that is something Netanyahu's government cannot take.

Leaks from within the US State department, also indicate that the State Department is making sure that none of these sub-contexts are part of any State Department, or Administration communication. The WaPo is reporting a brewing insurrection within the State Department, as this is the sort of thing, that ties their hands, as they do their daily job: communicate with world government.

Even within the US media, the message is clear: if you try to include the sub-contexts in anything you say, you will instantly be black listed. You will also be fired from your job, or if you have a job offer, it will be rescinded, and if you are an educational institution, your funds will evaporate.

World governments are now frustrated with how long this it taking, and the human impact.

I expect Netanyahu to be gone soon, and post-Gaza will see not only a revival of the 2-state solution, but also a major push for it, from the same groups that today do not want it to be discussed.

This is typically the reaction of the UN. They constantly condemn Israel, and the US protects them by vetoing anything bad for Israel.

Israel is making an issue of it as they want no resistance to flattening Gaza and sending its citizens scurrying over the border to Egypt. They are looking to justify what they want to do. They've been looking for an excuse for years.

What's been interesting to me is that I haven't seen too many standing with them in a black and white way which I think they anticipated. The context is being acknowledged. I think it's a new road for Israel and they'll act in an expected way. It's a highly conservative administration which means "us vs. them" and any backlash is driven by antisemitism. They're playing the expected cards but I'm not sure the "world" is buying it.

UN is an anti-Israel hate organization. Known for putting horrid human rights violators on human rights commissions.

I’d prefer if the UN just was an international aid organization, and could perhaps meet on other matters on an ad how basis. In my life I can’t think of a situation where it’s done much good. The whole veto power structure doomed it from the start.

Other than the weirdness of dictators and enemies being in NYC, and sitting across from each other, what’s the point.

It's a wonder they haven't labelled him an anti-semite yet.

I hope so. I thought finally someone of authority who can't immediately be accused of bias talking straight-up and not burying things under the carpet in terms of resolutions not complied with. I find it astonishing how blatantly media is being used and how stupidly people are being manipulated into just reacting without even stopping to think how much they actually know, which isn't much, frankly. Very sad.

@Burnley123 i watched this on the bbc news and united nation secretary reckons he never said what israel are accusing him of what he said was taken out of context . the real issue here rights and wrong on both sides is too stop this crazy war and stop the killing and suffering of the innocent civilians in palestine and israel with the bombing

Oh poor Hamas! LMAO!!!
HAHAHAHA!

Everybody has history.
Including the U.N.
And rarely is it palatable.

Israel has consistently broken endless international treaties and agreements. Some of which they helped draft !

The Palestinians (or more accurately) the majority terrorist organisations who say they represent the people of Palestine will also never be satisfied as long as any Jew exists next door.

And the U.N. has never quite recovered from it's blue helmets wandering aimlessly around Yugoslavia as it fell apart and the term ethnic cleansing became a nightly news buzz phrase.

Spout all the alleged history you want. These three protagonists continually play this game as generation after generation watch as nothing changes.

This is what happens when you get the privilege of being a UN member but also have a security council member wrapped around your finger so you get a blanket pass on any and all responsibility that is supposed to come with said membership.

With the US in their corner no spat with the UN will have real world consequences but the outrage they can milk this for is useful for spin.

They're utterly genocidal. It's old news. It'll be a secret again. Unless people agree to major changes in what you can claim is true.

so is Israel cracking the shits now and gonna kill very palastinian it can?
