“Let me be clear: No party to an armed conflict is above international humanitarian law.” – UN Secretary-General António Guterres

Israel is calling for his resignation for these remarks. Read his remarks for yourself. If those remarks are so unpalatable to Israel it is because Israel wants to commit genocide unhindered.

Fuck that. Never again doesn’t mean you get to do it this time.

www.un.orgSecretary-General's remarks to the Security Council - on the Middle East  | United Nations Secretary-General

@aral Really, they came 3000 terrorists and killed, raped, and murdered. Children, women, men, Muslims jews. They didn't care. Yet Israel is genocidal. Why?

@qballer Because one act of savagery does not justify another. This is not very difficult to understand unless you have a vested interest in not understanding it.

@aral So you expect us to go quietly into the night. Do you not understand that this will signal to Hamas that they can do this again? Hamas has been placing its people in harm's way. Only yesterday images of Gaza residents trying to flea for their lives who were gunned down by Hamas.

What would you do on the 7th of October?

@qballer No, I expect Israel to obey international law, to not dehumanise Palestinians, to not express genocidal intent and to not dole out collective pusnishment and kill thousands of civilians including thousands of children in what amounts to the human tragedy version of shooting fish in a barrel.

Thankfully, I am not the only one who feels that way either. The UN, human rights organisations like HRW and Amnesty, and – at this stage – anyone with a conscience, really, agrees.
