Forty-eight hours after Israel’s targeted strike on Hamas leaders in Doha, the UN Security Council swiftly convened an “emergency session,” unanimously issuing a press statement condemning the Israeli action and affirming Qatar’s inviolable sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Danon, unmoved, challenged the room’s selective outrage: “Where was your indignation on October 7, when our sovereignty was breached and Israeli civilians were butchered by Hamas? What have we heard from this Council since then? Silence, silence.” Danon reminded the Security Council that it was ironically convening on the 24th anniversary of 9/11 and that “two weeks later, this council adopted Resolution 1373. It said plainly: no state may harbor terrorists no state may give them safe haven. Any government that does so breaks this Council’s binding obligations”.
The hypocrisy and double standards of the United Nations against Israel are unending. As Danon stated, “When bin Laden was eliminated in Pakistan, the global community did not question why a terrorist was targeted on foreign soil – rather, they questioned why he was harbored there initially. Bin Laden was not granted immunity, and similarly, Hamas should not be afforded any immunity.”
Boom – there is nothing quite like a truth bomb!! However, as we are all too aware, the United Nations purposely overlooks matters pertaining to the truth – specifically when it comes to Israel. Nevertheless, Danon said it, and the Council heard it.
