Palestinian Leadership Now Begging the UN for Help, and the Response Is Already Telling
2023-10-10
[Red State] In a call with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Abbas reportedly asked the U.N. to "immediately intervene" to stop the ongoing "Israeli aggression," Palestinian news agency WAFA reported Monday night.

Abbas urged Guterres and the U.N. to "carry out its duties recognized by international legitimacy and provide international protection for the Palestinian people," WAFA reported.

Abbas’s request comes after Israel’s defense minister ordered a "complete siege" on the Gaza Strip as Israel ramps up its counteroffensive against Palestinian militant group Hamas, which launched a deadly incursion into Israel over the weekend.

This is what the Palestinians do, and to be fair, they do it because it works. Hamas, the elected leadership in the Gaza Strip, carried out the most barbaric attack on Jews since the Holocaust. It doesn't matter what one thinks of the situation between Israel and the Palestinian territories or how one side or the other could have done things differently to this point. If one side murders upwards of a thousand people in cold blood on camera as part of a literal invasion and then cheers in the streets, there will be retribution. There's no way around that.

#18  The most sickening part of this war fever is not that people tragically accept that innocent children have to die, but that they get gleefully excited by it as it’s happening.

I bet before today, you would hold in contempt anyone who got happy and excited about children being murdered.


To further prove how mind numbingly dumb posters are, a significant proportion of people on the net are currently making excuses about why the mass murderers they support are different from the mass murderers they oppose.

That's the way to show that you're on the good guys' side! :D

What was the saying? "Never again"?

Or was it "again, but only if we decide so", or "never again to us, it's OK to do it to others."

There was a military response to 9/11; but it was supposed to be a therapeutic intervention, not a punitive raid.

This is why "Infinite Justice" was demoted renamed to "Enduring Freedom."

#8  Spray Gaza from the air with pig shot and then carpet bomb it with napalm and FAE. Execute all Hamas prisoners on tv and have Mossad kill every paleo at the UN. No mercy or quarter for the pigmonkey paleo vermin.

Israel it hurts I know but show the world exactly what they are. With the reports coming out out now, if this happened here every mosque in the US would be burnt to the ground by days end.

#2  Yea, but as I wrote 3 days ago - Israel doesn't give a f%ck about UN*. But we do have to appease USA.

*If only because Israel would've ceased to exist long ago if we'd followed UN instructions.
