‘If you do not support our freedom, you do not support peace’
143 countries voted for Palestine, not Israel.
Riyad Mansour, Palestinian ambassador to the UN, is addressing the UN General Assembly.
Here is some of what he has said:
- I stand before you as more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed, 80,000 have been maimed, two million have been displaced, and everything has been destroyed.
- Israel’s plan has not changed: destroy and displace. The world is barely beginning to grasp the cruel and extensive nature of the actions against the Palestinian people.
- I stand before you as the Israeli prime minister is ready to kill thousands more to ensure his political survival.
- As we speak, 1.4 million Palestinians in Rafah wonder if they will survive today and where they will go next. There is nowhere left to go.
- We did not write the UN Charter. We did not enact international laws. We just demanded to see them applied to us and have until now been denied their protection.
- A yes vote is a vote for Palestinian existence, it not against any state, but it is against the attempts to deprive us of our state. That is why the Israeli government is so opposed to it, because they oppose our independence and the two-state solution altogether.
- If you do not support our freedom, you do not support peace.
The UN ‘is now welcoming a terror state into its ranks’: Erdan
Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, has addressed the UN General Assembly.
Here are some extracts from his speech:
- The United Nations was founded with the mission of ensuring such tyranny (Nazis) never raises its ugly head again. Today, you are about to do the exact opposite and advance the establishment of a Palestinian terror state, which will be led by the Hitler of our times.
- Today, with sick and twisted irony, the very body established to prevent evil is now welcoming a terror state into its ranks.
- In every poll, Hamas is predicted to win Palestinian elections, if they ever happen.
- So today, the General Assembly is not only about to grant the rights to a state of the Palestinian Authority, today, you are about to grant privileges and rights to the future terror state of Hamas.
More success for student protests and BDS.

Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center
They paint a picture of a facility where doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing; of medical procedures sometimes performed by underqualified medics earning it a reputation for being “a paradise for interns”; and where the air is filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.
According to the accounts, the facility some 18 miles from the Gaza frontier is split into two parts: enclosures where around 70 Palestinian detainees from Gaza are placed under extreme physical restraint, and a field hospital where wounded detainees are strapped to their beds, wearing diapers and fed through straws.
“They stripped them down of anything that resembles human beings,” said one whistleblower, who worked as a medic at the facility’s field hospital.
“(The beatings) were not done to gather intelligence. They were done out of revenge,” said another whistleblower. “It was punishment for what they (the Palestinians) did on October 7 and punishment for behavior in the camp.”
Well, unfortunately Israel showed up and put the UN charter through a shredder so .....
Yup, they are all for the two state solution except when it involves Palestine or action.
They just like bombs
The resolution did pass.
That was a comment for shack, trying to declare it doesn't matter for some reason or other.
The Israeli ambassador thought it would look good to shred the UN charter during his speech.
I don't think he thought it through.

So is Palestine now a full member?
Of course you were too afraid to give a direct answer. You never give a direct answer. A man who refuses to answer questions is coward. That's a quote from you.
So is Palestine now a full member?
So, the answer is NO. They are not a full member. LOL.

This is the time for you, Amoeba, to give a 1 word answer.
1)Yes
2)No.
You are correct. The fact that the resolution passed doesn't matter 1 iota. Palestine is STILL not a member. I'm giving you a chance to make another failed prediction. Do you predict that this will this pass through the Security Council?
1)Yes.
2)No.
I might as well be proactive because it is guaranteed that you will not answer.
