Israel does not have the right to defend itself, Russia’s representative to the United Nations said on Wednesday.

The United States and its allies are hypocritical for talking “about Israel’s alleged right for self-defense, which, as an occupying state, it does not have, as was confirmed by the [U.N.’s] International Court [of Justice] consultative ruling in 2004,” Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya told a U.N.

The ICJ’s 2004 advisory opinion stated that Israel could not invoke an inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter against any threat coming from an “occupied” territory that Israel controls.

Every two-bit alleged conservative who hoists Putin as the Christian Savior of Civilization needs to examine their brown lipstick.

Putin has the Cross in his hand and the devil in his heart.

Putin calling Israel an “occupying state” with Putin taking over Crimea and Ukraine .... would be about as bad as Stacey Abrams calling Melania fatso.
