You have to wonder where all these U.N. officials were when Hamas was slaughtering, raping, torturing, and beheading Jews in Israel. And randomly launching attacks on Israel, primarily civilians, over the years. Especially since the UN has designated Hamas as a terrorist organization, but, they rarely condemn them
UN official says attacks in Gaza show ‘disregard of international humanitarian law’
Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the United Nations (U.N.) Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, said Sunday that recent attacks in the Gaza Strip against U.N. relief locations have shown a “disregard of international humanitarian law.”
During an appearance on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” moderator Margaret Brennan asked Lazzarini about the recent killings of about 108 U.N. staff members in the territory, asking why the death toll is so high.
“Yes, Margaret, this is definitely devastating news, and the United Nation never ever lost as many staff in such a short period in the conflict. But now it is also true, Margaret, that about 70 of our locations, sheltering more than 1 million people, have been hit since the beginning of the conflict,” Lazzarini told Brennan.
“And we had about 200 people who have been killed and … injured,” Lazzarini added. “And this despite the fact that we’re constantly deconflicting, and notifying the Israeli authorities, but also … Hamas about our location.”
If you have your people working in areas where the terrorists operate and where Israel will go after them, bad things will happen. You have to know that the UN knew about all the weapons, command centers, communication centers, etc., in areas around hospitals, schools, civilian areas. That Hamas uses civilians as human shields.
“But clearly here, this has been a blatant disregard of international humanitarian law, a blatant disregard of U.N. premises, and a blatant disregard of a civilian population,” Lazzarini said.
This would be UN premises used to support Hamas, and Lazzarini isn’t saying boo about Hamas keeping civilians around their fighters, nor Hamas killing civilians to stop them from leaving. Or that the majority of Palestinians in Gaza support a terrorist group.
And a good demonstration in London
(UK Daily Mail) There were no war cries; no thinly veiled threats of the ‘river to the sea’ variety.
Few were in the mood for chanting but when they did, there was just one chorus: ‘Bring them home.’
And 2,500 miles to the East, a four-year-old girl was among the handful who were indeed heading home – albeit to a home without the two parents executed in front of her very eyes on October 7. (snip)
Yesterday, that collective anguish finally took to the streets as the capital staged the greatest show of support for British Jews since the Battle of Cable Street in London’s East End nearly 90 years ago.
Organisers put the total figure at 105,000, nor far short of half the UK’s entire Jewish population.
Except that these were not all Jews. Far from it. The whole point of this march was for Brits of all faiths and none to show solidarity with a community enduring a ten-fold increase in anti-Semitic incidents since October 7.
This is a far cry from the imported crowd bolstered by Israel and Jew hating Brits screaming for the end of Israel, taking the side of terrorists.
