I wonder how soon the anti-Semites in the U.N. will take Hamas off their terrorist organization list
Israel fumes as UN secretary-general leaves Hamas off sexual violence blacklist
Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of standing “shoulder to shoulder with the rapists and murderers of Hamas” for declining to include the terror group in a report published Tuesday on organizations suspected by the UN of committing acts of sexual violence during conflict.
The document, titled “Conflict-related sexual violence,” and published as a “Report of the Secretary-General,” noted there is evidence that sex crimes were committed during the Palestinian terror group Hamas’s devastating October 7 attack on Israel, but did not specifically attribute responsibility to Hamas.
The ministry elaborated in the statement that Guterres ignored “the plethora of testimony and evidence that was collected and then included in the report of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict Pramila Patten.”
I’m surprised Guterres isn’t out at Columbia or NYU protesting with the pro-Hamas nutters
Patten’s report after her visit to Israel found that rape likely occurred during the Hamas attacks, and said there was convincing evidence hostages were facing sexual abuse in Gaza.
In his report, Guterres referenced Patten’s assessment, but noted that it, “not being investigative in nature and given its limited duration, did not draw conclusions on attribution to specific armed groups or determine prevalence of incidents of conflict-related sexual violence during and after the attacks of 7 October. Such a determination would require a fully-fledged investigation.”
Guterres, fumed Katz, refused to acknowledge Hamas’s responsibility for the grave sexual crimes that appear in the Patten report and to declare it a terrorist organization.
The United Nations has not been a friend of Israel for decades, and, instead, has taken the side of the Islamic extremists at almost every turn. Just like the Muslim Brotherhood planned.
Hamas’s armed wing calls for escalation across all fronts
The spokesperson for Hamas’ armed al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, called on Tuesday for an escalation across all fronts in a televised speech marking 200 days since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7.
Israel says it is seeking to eradicate Hamas, which controls the enclave. The war started when the terrorist group attacked Israel, killing 1,200 and taking 253 hostages.
In a video aired by Al Jazeera TV, Abu Ubaida praised Iran’s attack on Israel on April 13, saying the direct strikes with explosive drones and missiles “set new rules, drew important equations, and confused the enemy and those behind it.”
And, yet, all these Lefties are telling Israel to stand down, even though it is Hamas which wants to keep this going.

And then they’re going to whine about being arrested for protesting.
Like the League of Nations before it, the United Nations was supposed to be an instrument for the preservation of Western civilization, but when you have an organization dominated by nations which do not share in Western civilization, you get bovine feces like this.
Remember: the First Amendment guarantees “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Perhaps someone can explain to me how pelting police officers with bottles and attacking an officer with a chair falls under the description of “peaceable”.
Of course, it is not peaceable to pelt officers with bottles or attack them with chairs, which is why the violent rioters need to be arrested. And hundreds were. Zip-tied, hauled off and rightly so. Lock ’em up!!
The US should check the immigration status of any of the protesters who committed crimes. Non-citizens (student visas, green cards) who have committed felonies can and should be deported. Buh-bye.
