The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to the UN, Gilad Erdan, delivered a fiery denunciation of the resolution and its backers before the vote, and fed pages of the UN charter into a shredder. The Palestinian envoy, Riyad Mansour, highlighted that the vote was being held at a time when Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city that is the last haven for many people, faced attack from Israeli forces
The Israeli Government can eat a bag of dicks. They brought this on themselves. They had every right to respond to the attack from Hamas and get their people back, but their response was… fucking abhorrent. They’ve wiped out the entire Gazan infrastructure. Their electric, sewage, water, their schools, universities, and hospitals. They destroyed so many homes that literally half the people are homeless. They’ve humiliated, tortured, maimed, and murdered men, women, and children.
Israel’s response was horrific. They used this attack on Israel as an opportunity to ethnically cleanse Gaza. I’m glad that the rest of the world could come together and agree that this was totally wrong.
