UN chief: ‘Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children’
[quote]The UN chief tells reporters Gaza is “becoming a
graveyard for children”.
“Hundreds of girls and boys are reportedly being killed and
injured every day,” he said.
“More journalists have reportedly been killed over a four-week
period than in any conflict in at least three decades,” he said.
“More United Nations aid workers have been killed than in any
comparable period in the history of our organisation.”
“I joined the UN family in mourning 89 of our UNRWA colleagues
who have been killed in Gaza, many of them together with members
of their family,” Guterres added.
“They include teachers, school principals, doctors, engineers,
guards, support staff and a young woman named Mai. Mai did not
let her muscular dystrophy or wheelchair confine her dreams. She
was a top student, became a software developer and devoted her
skills to working on information technology for UNRWA.”[/quote]

‘No rules at all’: Ex-UN official denounces Israeli lawlessness
[quote]Mukesh Kapila, a former UN humanitarian agency
coordinator, says he has spent 30 years working in numerous
conflicts around the world but describes Israel’s ongoing attack
on Gaza as “unique”.
He says that is because the most modern weapons are being used
in one of the most densely populated areas on the planet. Kapila
also denounced Israel’s repeated attacks on emergency services
workers and overwhelmed medical facilities.
“What we’re seeing now is that all rules have broken down and
there are no norms because this is a war on a whole society.
There are really no rules at all. What we need to happen,
therefore, is a rescue from outside,” he told Al
Jazeera.[/quote]

UN honours staff killed in Gaza
[quote]The casualty count in Israel's war on Gaza continues to
rise every hour. Yet diplomats at the UN have failed to come up
with a ceasefire resolution to stop the bloodshed. More than 100
United Nations staff are among those killed in Gaza since
October 7. And on Monday, the UN lowered its flag to half mast
to honour its workers killed by Israeli bombings. TRT World UN
Correspondent Frank Ucciardo has the story.[/quote]

[quote]UN official causes uproar over claim that Israel doesn't
have right to defend itself against Hamas terrorists[/quote]
It does not!
[quote]The U.N. special rapporteur to the occupied Palestinian
territory claimed this week that Israel does not have a right to
self-defense against Hamas under international law and accused
the country of committing "war crimes."
The comments from Francesca Albanese came Tuesday during an
address to the National Press Club of Australia, when she deemed
Israel's right to self-defense "non-existent"
...
"Israel cannot claim the right of self-defense against a threat
that emanates from a territory it occupies, from a territory
that is under belligerent occupation," Albanese said from the
event in Canberra, Australia.
...
Albanese also expressed concern over the potential that Israel
"might commit the crime of genocide against the Palestinian
people" and took aim at the international community in her
speech, claiming most state governments are almost "completely
paralyzed" amid the unfolding crisis in the Middle East.
"In the face of all of this, the international community is
almost completely paralyzed," she said. "I am being generous
when I say the U.N. is experiencing its most epic political and
humanitarian failure since its creation."
"Individual member states, especially in the West, and Australia
is no exception, are on the margins," she added. "Muttering
notable words of condemnation for Israel’s success at best or
staying silent in fear of restraining Israel’s … claimed right
to self-defense. Whatever that means."
...
She also used her speech to defend the Palestinians, saying they
had been subjected to a "violent structure of dispossession,
confiscation of land, and forcible displacement."
"When it is widespread and systemic, [it] is not just a war
crime, it is a crime against humanity," Albanese said.
[/quote]
So, who disagrees with such a reasonable position?
[quote]Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human
Rights and the Holocaust, slammed Albanese's comments, saying
they go "hand-in-hand with all her other legally-indefensible
claims" surrounding the conflict.
"Starting from October 7th until now, no major U.N. actor has
said plainly that Israel has a right of self-defense. This is
despite the fact that the U.N. Charter unambiguously declares
every U.N. member has the inherent right of self-defense,"
Bayefsky claimed in an email to Fox News Digital. "In the
deafening silence, anti-Israel and antisemitic extremists hiding
under the titles of U.N. 'experts,' have gone on the offensive
and proclaimed that Israel has no U.N. Charter right of
self-defense against the barbaric Palestinian terrorists who
slaughtered and butchered their people. The Nazis said the same
thing of their Jewish victims."
"Albanese’s abhorrent remarks go hand-in-hand with all her other
legally-indefensible claims, such as defending a Palestinian
'right to resist' that 'requires violence.' Likewise, Navi
Pillay, head of a U.N. so-called ‘Commission of Inquiry’ against
Israel created back in 2021, has repeatedly spoken since October
7th of a Palestinian right of 'armed struggle.' These aren’t
misguided lawyers. They are champions of hate, of antisemitism,
of lethal violence against the Jewish people. It is an atrocity
that they are given U.N. titles and a global platform of any
kind at all," Bayefsky added.[/quote]

US votes against world as UN condemns Israel's illegal

[quote]The United States and Canada voted against countries

[quote]It is indeed exhausting to see the continuation of
Western imperialism against the entire world, but we are
duty-bound to continue speaking out in order to uphold the
rights of all people. Thank you for using your platform to
highlight the truth.[/quote]
[quote]But when will anyone take action?[/quote]
[quote]The Middle Eastern nations that have been trying have
been consistently bombed for the past 30 years[/quote]
[quote]Maybe you shouldn't include all the west, in that
condemnation, the west as a whole is not the USA[/quote]
[quote]what are your thoughts on BRICS[/quote]
[quote]Overall positive, because they will create a multi-polar
world where China and the US will both be superpowers as opposed
to just the US.
However, overall, I believe that the best interest of the Muslim
people (as I myself am one) is in uniting under one government.
Never did a group of weak, in-fighting, disharmonious states
stand a chance, yet it was always when they united that they
were strong. So, while I overall support Muslim nations joining
the Belt and Road initiative, I am skeptical because just as
much as I do not want US hegemony, I also don't want to fall
down the slippery slope of Chinese hegemony[/quote]
[quote]A lot of courage from some countries showing
condemnation. Like Mexico and Germany. Good for them to not
buckle under pressure.[/quote]
[quote]Don't include germany in that one. Hopefully this will
start a trend, but Germany has been an American lapdog since
1991.[/quote]
[quote]Excellent commentary as a person living on the
geographical land know as Canada I am disgusted with the
government of Canada and the people who voted for them.[/quote]

[quote]Apocalypse:
Etymology
From Middle English apocalips, from Latin apocalypsis, from
Ancient Greek
ἀποκάλυψις
(apokálupsis, “revelation”), literally meaning "uncovering",
from ἀπό (apó, “back, away from”) and
καλύπτω (kalúptō, “I
cover”). [s]The sense evolution to "catastrophe, end of the
world" stems from the depiction of such events in the biblical
Book of Revelation, also called the Apocalypse of (i.e.
Revelation to) John. [/s][/quote]
HTML https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/apocalypse
[quote]The Greek root for apocalypse
[αποκαλυπτω |
αποκαλυψισ] is
a verb meaning to uncover, reveal, lay bare, or
disclose.[/quote]

Has the UN Become Irrelevant?
[quote]Israel's actions in Gaza have led to the highest death
toll of UN aid workers in history. With the United Nations
taking what seemed like forever to make a decision on
humanitarian pauses, it raises the question: has the
organisation, once known for being powerful, lost its
relevance?[/quote]

Bravo to the South African panel for making a most articulate
rendition on Israel's genocidal intent in their military actions
against the Palestinians in Gaza. I see no reason at all for the
UN not to adjudicate in favour of the South African application
for provisional measures to be launched against Israel.

What our enemies think about the UN:
HTML https://vdare.com/posts/abolish-the-entire-united-nations-not-just-unrwa
[quote]UNRWA—that's the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, UNRWA—is up to its
elbows helping Arab terrorists trying to destroy Israel, a
member nation of the U.N.
Why is there a separate U.N. agency—funded, of course, by your
tax dollars and mine—why is there a separate agency for
Palestinian refugees? Why doesn't the U.N. High Commissioner for
Refugees deal with them?
Why, in any case, are there still Palestinian refugees, 76 years
after they lost their homes in Israel? Even on the worst
possible view of that dispossession—leaving aside, for example,
the fact that a lot of the Israelis doing the dispossession had
been kicked out of their own homes in Arab countries, Iran, and
Europe—leaving that aside, it was a long time ago.
World War Two in Europe generated plenty of refugees: Germans
and East Europeans fleeing the advancing Russians, for instance.
How come they aren't still refugees under U.N. care 76 years
later? They settled where they could and got on with rebuilding
their lives.
"Ah yes," a Palestinian might say, "but we can reclaim our
homeland! With the help of our Arab brothers we shall drive the
Jews out! From the river to the Sea …!"
No you won't. If it looks as though you're about to, Israel will
exercise the Samson Option and fry you and your Arab brothers
with nukes, perhaps us too.
Are you just going to live forever in fantasies of revenge,
feeding on the charity of foreigners? Get on with your lives, as
refugees elsewhere have done for centuries past—including plenty
of Jewish refugees.
