In reply to the discussion: ISRAEL TO BE BLACKLISTED BY THE UN [View all]Celerity
(52,709 posts)8. Channel 13 (Israeli TV): A political blow: Israel was put on the "black list" of the UN (Google translated from Hebrew)
First publication: UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres informed Israeli officials that Jerusalem had been put on the "black list" of "countries that kill children". This is the first time that the army of a democratic country has entered this list - and in Jerusalem they fear immediate consequences for military aid from the world.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres informed a senior IDF official that Israel has been included in the "list of countries that kill children", this was published this evening (Thursday) for the first time on News 13. Guterres added that his final signature will be given in the coming week. In Israel they said that We were informed about the issue and that we are preparing for the publication of the decision.
The fear in Israel is that the decision, which in fact states that the IDF is an army that harms children, will lead to sanctions from countries around the world, including those with direct consequences for the supply of armaments to Israel. But the step is prevented every year anew.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said that "putting the State of Israel on the black list is a serious and baseless political move by the UN Secretary General, who has long since lost all moral direction. On October 7, over 1,400 innocent citizens, women and children, were murdered by terrorists Wretches who still hold young women and old people captive. The promiscuous government has lost all ability to stop Israel's political deterioration. Only a sane government will be able to rebuild our international status and strengthen us abroad."

Pretty much. But it's interesting who is and is not being called out by the UN, isn't it?

Where's the double standard? Camus said, and I agee, that there is no cause that justifies

Well, how about if you had to kill some innicent people to prevent 11 million people wiped out in the holocaust?

At 17 I was still naive enough to believe that there was such a thing as a "just cuse"

Only NO military response to 10/7 would have prevented deaths of children in Gaza.

Israel will when it results in blocked arms supplies. Better start making their own.

Having the last word does not make the world forgive Israel's Genocide on Gaza.

It's not genocide, and you demean and denigrate actual genocides by using it as a bludgeon.
