Palestinians plead ‘stop the bombs’ at UN meeting but Israel insists Hamas must be ‘obliterated’

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — “Stop the bombs and save lives!” the Palestinian ambassador pleaded at an emotional U.N. meeting Thursday on the war in Gaza. But Israel’s envoy was adamant, declaring again, “We will not rest until Hamas is obliterated.”

At the assembly’s resumed emergency special session on Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories Thursday, speaker after speaker backed the Arab resolution’s cease-fire call — except for Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Gilad Erdan, who told the 193-member world body, “A cease-fire means giving Hamas time to rearm itself, so they can massacre us again.”

After quoting several Hamas statements vowing to destroy Israel and the Jews, he said, “Any call for a cease-fire is not an attempt at peace. It is an attempt to tie Israel’s hands, preventing us from eliminating a huge threat to our citizens.”

Israel’s Erdan said the country’s action has nothing to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict or the Palestinian question. “This is not a war with the Palestinians. Israel is at war with the genocidal Jihadist Hamas terror organization,” he said.

But Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian U.N. ambassador, said 70% of those killed in Gaza were children and women. “Is this the war some of you are defending? Can this war be defended? These are crimes. This is barbarism,” he said.

“If you do not stop it for all those who were killed, stop it for all those whose lives we can still save,” he said.

Nope. Your team started this mess. Now it’s time to let Israel handle the situation as they determine is needed.

Should of thought of that before you sent your rapists, torturers and mass murders to invade your neighbor.

You choose to put yourself outside the pale of civilization, just like the Nazis before you, may you reap the same reward.

Two choices: Annihilation or unconditional surrender.

And where was Mr. Concerned when the babies were getting the chop?

“If you do not stop it for all those who were killed, stop it for all those whose lives we can still save,” he said.

For the ones that were murdered they should be bombed into dust and made into roads.

“70% of those killed in Gaza were children and women”
_________________________________________________________

As believable as the claim that 500 people were killed by a rocket that landed in a parking lot.

At the United Nations resumed emergency special session on Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories...

Does anybody recall how the Special Session on the Hamas Unprovoked Assault on Israel turned out?

I was watching the live cam at the hospital in Gaza, and I noticed a UN truck there.

The palis could unconditionally surrender and turn over the hostages and all members of Hamas.

If you chicken shit Hamass quit hiding behind women and children there would be fewer casualties.

And HamAss claimed 500 killed right off the bat from their own weapons falling in hospital property and the nazis and communists ran with it

Hamas wants EVERY JEW dead and while I’d like to think the NeverTrumpers don’t understand that, I fear that they do, fully, understand it.

The lame stream media is full of photos of bloody palistine terrorist supporters,
most very obviously staged.

The fastest way to end the offensive would be to help the IDF find and destroy Hamas.

I hope Israel kills every one of those filthy pigs. After what they did that is not an over reaction.

They deserve even more for asking for peace after they joyfully slaughtered innocents. They truly are the hand of Satan.

1,400 civilians dead in one day. That demands Hamas cease to exist. They raped women and children to death. They burned people alive. They invaded Israel for no other reason than to murder innocent people. Frakk them.
