Israel has demanded that the UN’s secretary general retract comments he made about the Gaza war and apologise.
António Guterres said in a speech to the Security Council on Tuesday that he condemned unequivocally Hamas’s deadly attacks in Israel two weeks ago but that they “did not happen in a vacuum”.
Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan accused him of “justifying terrorism” and called for his immediate resignation.
Providing a small amount of aid for basic necessities they are otherwise denied due to land theft is literally the bare minimum, nobody is living a good life in those conditions. War is inevitable because terrible conditions are inflicted upon people which causes radicalization. It’s literally a “the beatings will continue until morale improves” situation.
It’s not the bare minimum anywhere else in the world. Imagine if we had redirected the last decade’s worth of aid to Guatemala or the Dominican Republic how much more effective that aid would have been.
There are a thousand places on the planet with less than Gazans, none of them demand the God given right to genocide their neighbors.
You don’t know enough about this situation and should go learn about it before you embarrass yourself like this again.
I know plenty about this situation. Palestinians widely believe that they don’t have to accept a two state solution, and that they can and are entitled to terrorism their way to victory against Israel on the dime of international aid.
