Hamas Calls for UN Intervention to Stop Israel

You gotta be kidding me.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on the United Nations to take immediate action against the continued “Israeli aggression” toward Palestinians.

 

Abbas made the remarks on a phone call with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, according to the state news agency WAFA.

 

Abbas called on the UN to “immediately intervene to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip,” WAFA reported on Monday.

 

The Palestinian president emphasized the urgent need for medical and relief aid in Gaza, drawing attention to the looming humanitarian crisis. He urged the UN to “uphold its responsibilities as recognized by international legitimacy and ensure protection for the Palestinian people.”

Iran/Hamas has a clear strategy.

  1. Attack Israel across the border
  2. Make the attacks so horrific by intentionally targeting civilians, old women, and children, as to force Israel to respond with overwhelming force.
  3. When Israel responds, cry foul and call for Arab nations to attack Israel.

Whining to the UN is an intermediate step between steps 2 and 3 to give step three more perceived legitimacy.

Iran/Hamas’ attack was a clear war crime and utterly barbarous behavior. I hope Israel pushes Hamas into the sea.

    This is how liberals play the game.
    They’ll make an attack on someone, blame others then hide in back of someone who may have some influence.
    Liberals are cowards and cannot defend what they do, so they defect and on to to the next thing on their agenda

    They might finally be given that opportunity. One carrier strike group has arrived on station in the eastern Med and another is on the way. That’s a whole lot of deterrence to anyone other than Hamas looking to interfere with Israeli operations. Assuming we’ve already issued the proper backchannel diplomatic threats to the region’s influencers, maybe the Israelis will be given a few weeks to inflict as much damage on Hamas as possible. Maybe they get a fair fight this time.

    Nah. The leadership of Hamas is safe and secure in Qatar, along with a US military HQ.

    The media focus will be on the IDF doing their thing in Gaza, not the ‘others’ who will go hunting abroad. Hiding out in Doha probably only delays the inevitable. The Israelis have never had any qualms about reaching out to touch someone. Not always right away, either. Mahmoud al-Mabhouh thought he was safe in Dubai. Turned out not to be the case at all.

    Well……..the Doha bunch REALLY need killing, as Clint would say.

    Not so sure about everybody else in Gaza. Most of them are probably like Democrats.; they vote the way they’re told. Thinking about it first is …….well……….not a given.

    As is that $6 billion.

    “Palestinians” and Hamas are one in the same, and they are nothing more than slaved proxies for the rest of the Arab/Muslim world that funds and praises them for being the dagger constantly poking Israel’s calf – a job they themselves are too chicken shit to do – yet still despises them so much they will not accept their fleeing “brothers”.

    I sincerely hope Israel bulldozes the entire Gaza Strip right up to Egypt’s 20’ concrete border wall.

    Then they can start on the West Bank.

    From the River to the Sea Israel will be free.
