Israeli officials have been outraged over Antonio Guterres's remark that the deadly Hamas attack on southern Israel "did not happen in a vacuum". Israel's envoy to the UN Gilad Erdan called for Mr Guterres' resignation, saying Israel must rethink its relations with the world body. Now, he has told Israeli media that UN officials will not be granted visas to enter the country. "We will refuse to grant visas to UN representatives. We have already refused to give one to under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs Martin Griffiths," he told Army Radio, accusing Mr Guterres of justifying a slaughter. "It's time to teach them a lesson." Israel historically has had tense relations with the UN, accusing it of being biased against it.

Even when the owner of the building said and I quote “we had to pull the building”. Pull it! A demolition term! You can’t make this s^*t up! Complete nonsense. You would benefit by doing reasonable research before posting stuff like this. The "Pull it" comment was made when it was obvious the building was going to be lost and it was in reference to a fire fighting team. All of this has been explained without dispute. The only people who screw it up are people aren't aware of it, and the people who have never read the very detailed Popular Mechanics article with a number of structural engineers. You know, guys who have actual knowledge about this stuff. 1 4

Justice Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 8 minutes ago, B-Man said: Good Lord, back to the thread. Ben Shapiro’s addresses three comforting lies “provided in significant supply by the hard Left and its allies in the legacy media” regarding the Hamas-Israel war. The first is one promoted by Presidents Biden and Obama that I have noted a few times: The easiest moral place to stand is in the middle. Standing in the middle is comforting. It grants you the illusion that you are being evenhanded, that you see nuance and complexity where others see black and white. It is flattering to be in the middle — no one hates your viewpoint enough to make you their opponent, and yet you get to stand apart from everyone, tut-tutting both sides. When it comes to Israel and its terror-backing enemies, the West has, for some decades, taken precisely that position. Sure, Israel should be able to defend itself. But not too much. Yes, Israel has the right to exist. But it must make concessions to those who seek Israel's destruction. When Israel's enemies pursue the worst atrocities in four generations, it's difficult to maintain that position of studied neutrality, in which attacks on Israel are chalked up to political differences and shrugged away. It turns out that scenes of brutally massacred children, women and men tend to upset the moral stomach. But then the stomach settles again. All it takes to return to that sophisticated neutrality is a few false platitudes — a few comforting lies. Three of those lies have been provided in significant supply by the hard Left and its allies in the legacy media. The first lie is that Israel must be warned not to engage in human rights violations. We hear this nostrum all the time: from the president of the United States, from the United Nations, from the media. The idea is that if Israel’s leadership isn’t reminded in the wake of the worst pogrom since the Holocaust, those rude Jews might carpet-bomb Gaza. The purpose of the lie is simple: to get Israel to stop defending itself at the first available opportunity. If you warn the world that Israel is likely to pursue atrocities, and then — as inevitably happens in war — something terrible happens, Israel can quickly be shoved back into the box of moral equivalence. Voila! Status quo ante restored. Of course, this lie is a lie. And it is a stupidly offensive lie, in the same way that it is a lie when the United Nations warns the United States about human rights violations. [The IDF] is a professional military that abides by the rules of war. [Israel’s] enemies openly cheer the death of civilians, both Israel’s and their own. By all rights, the entire political and media infrastructure ought to be using their supposed moral suasion on human rights to convince Hamas to release hostages and protect their own citizens. But, of course, there’s no real interest in that. The lie must be maintained. Israel has to be warned about human rights, because secretly, the Jews are just like Hamas. Much more at the link: https://jewishworldreview.com/1023/shapiro102523.php . Awww the poor Israelis. The colonizers with European accents. The people who can’t even pronounce hummus but claim it’s there’s. They can never do wrong. All those illegal settlements that’s just their homes. God gave it to them! Don’t worry. They’re gonna get their billions and billions from the same people he’s saying are treating them unfairly. Can’t make this s^*t up. Cry cry cry.

And it is perfectly fair and correct for the US to counsel others to avoid committing war crimes. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/12/world/europe/israel-gaza-and-the-laws-of-war.html Anyone who has spent much time on social media recently will have seen people conflate the justness of the conflict itself with the justness of the way it is being conducted. Some have appeared to excuse the killing of Israeli civilians on the basis that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is wrong, while others appeared to dismiss the killing of Palestinian civilians in airstrikes on the grounds that Israel is right to defend itself from attack.
