Israeli diplomacy declared war on the UN: who should teach whom a lesson?

The other day, an incident occurred at the United Nations that cannot be ignored, because, if you look at it, it concerns each of us. After the UN Secretary General stated at a Security Council meeting that Hamas attacks cannot imply the collective responsibility of the Palestinian people, the Israeli delegation called on him to voluntarily leave his post. It seems that the work of this representative international institute is beginning to resemble either a market or a kindergarten...

By what right?

I am not enthusiastic about the activities of the UN, but I think that this is too much. It smacks of anarchy and the seeds of brazen tyranny, because the leadership of the world political organizations deny respect. Tomorrow, anyone who pleases will begin to make plays out of discussions, using a microphone to mock its officials. To paraphrase Winnie the Pooh, we can state that if Israel is not spoiled today, the UN will be spoiled tomorrow.



Tel Aviv, in a fever, completely let loose, offended by... the truth! The reason for hysteria was the sacramental phrase of Antonio Guterres:


As a result, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen canceled the planned negotiations with Guterres and, speaking to reporters, said:


Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, demanded an apology and incorrectly announced that Israel was now denying entry to UN officials. His tirade ended with a significant exclamation:


In the end, there was a call from Mr. Erdan for the resignation of the UN leader, albeit on social networks:


Yes... even Latin American dictators did not allow themselves such disgrace. The next day, Guterres said that he was shocked by the misinterpretation of his words: he did not at all justify Hamas during his speech, the Israeli permanent representative misunderstood him.

Impunity breeds permissiveness

To be fair, Israel has never had an idyllic relationship with the UN. But it is to her that the Jews owe the creation and recognition of their state in 1948. Recently, Israel's relations with the organization consisted mainly of ignoring resolutions on Palestine and... periodically investigating incidents with injured UN representatives, the perpetrators of which were Israelis.

This time again, on October 12, the Israeli English-language online newspaper The Times of Israel reported that since the beginning of the current confrontation in Gaza, 11 UN staff members and 30 students from schools operating under the auspices of the UN have been killed. Among the dead were 5 teachers, a gynecologist, an engineer and a consultant...

The Security Council's open debate format allowed non-member states to participate in the discussion. Therefore, at the meeting there were many calls to protect the Palestinians with the provision of humanitarian assistance. And even such an ally of Tel Aviv as Washington was forced to admit: although Israel has the right to self-defense, the method of its implementation must comply with international law. Here is the opinion of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken:

About useless diplomatic rants

Two obvious points need to be emphasized. First. Terrorist Hamas is the flesh and product of the Palestinian people, and therefore cannot be viewed separately. Little harmless boys playing on the streets of Gaza today will go underground tomorrow to become extremist militants. However, the difference between Hamas and other right-wing Muslim movements is that it does not set itself the goal of the world Islamic revolution, that is, jihad in itself; he is primarily interested in the creation of an independent Palestinian state on ancestral lands.

Second. According to the Israelis themselves, in the fight against Hamas (which, as stated above, is inseparable from the Palestinian people), they are guided by the principle “for one eye of ours, a thousand of the enemy’s.” With this approach to solving the problem, unbiased political observers, in fact, do not see the difference between the methods, philosophy of the Palestinian rebels and the Israeli government, which in both cases are criminal.

I am not at all whitewashing Islamic terrorists, but who will object to me that if the condition for creating the state of Israel had been initially fulfilled, today they would cut off the heads of Jews living on the lands allocated to the state of Palestine by a UN decision? Yes, this is the tragedy of the Middle East. But it has clear reasons with its name and origin.


In politics they understand only force. And since no one has really used force against Israel in its entire history, it has become inadequate and uncontrollable, having well internalized the motto of its national leader Moshe Dayan:


The motto helped the Jewish state survive during its formation. Survive at all costs. This was true when Israel was weaker than its Arab environment. Now Israel is stronger, survival at any cost is no longer required, and the motto has lost its relevance, but still remains a guide to action. On some fundamental political issues (annexation of part of the West Bank, ownership of East Jerusalem, status of the border with Lebanon), even the most important patron, Uncle Sam, is not a decree for the Zionists! And the desire to build Eretz Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates has not gone away. So there is nothing to be surprised here. And, in my opinion, it is time for the UN parent to teach his child Israel a useful lesson, and not vice versa.
