Does anyone not think Netenyahu, however much one might wince at his direct language, makes very good points here ?1) 'In a post on X on Thursday evening, the Israeli prime minister said Hamas wanted to “destroy the Jewish state” and “annihilate the Jewish people”.“I could never understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others,” Netanyahu said.“I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice.”Netanyahu said the actions of those leaders were not “advancing peace” but “emboldening Hamas to continue fighting for ever”.(Note Hamas welcomed the comments of these three Western leaders).2) He went on to blame a recent claim by the UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, that thousands of babies would imminently die in Gaza if Israel did not immediately let in aid for the attack in Washington. “A few days ago, a top UN official said that 14,000 Palestinian babies would die in 48 hours. You see many international institutions are complicit in spreading this lie,” he said.“The press repeats it. The mob believed it. And a young couple is then brutally gunned down in Washington.”UN officials had to retract Fletcher’s claim of deaths in 48 hours by saying he was referring to a UN technical report on food insecurity classification that said 14,100 severe cases of acute malnutrition could occur among children aged six to 59 months between April 2025 and March 2026. The report’s time frame is one year and not two days, as mentioned by Fletcher'.And yet again the UN and its vastly over paid and over privileged staff shows its craven and deceitful support for terrorism, providing it is directed against Israel.Time for the UK to quit this organisation ?
