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. General Assembly special session on the Israel-Hamas war.
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.
However, Israel ceded control of the Gaza Strip in 2005, and it is governed by the Hamas terrorist organization, which has sworn to destroy Israel.
Last week, Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Hamas and calling for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group in Gaza.
A Russian resolution was also rejected that denounced Hamas but also condemned “indiscriminate attacks” on civilians in Gaza and called for an immediate “humanitarian ceasefire.”

Well the Haaretz has had an interesting following thru the years Very pro-Palestine and yes known as the most left-leaning paper in Israel:
The Schocken family were the sole owners of the Haaretz Group until August 2006, when they sold a 25% stake to German publisher M. DuMont Schauberg. The deal was negotiated with the help of the former Israeli ambassador to Germany, Avi Primor. This deal was seen as controversial in Israel as DuMont Schauberg’s father, Kurt Neven DuMont, was member of the Nazi Party and his publishing house promoted Nazi ideology.
The newspaper opposes retaining control of the territories and consistently supports peace initiatives.
The Nation described Haaretz as “Israel’s liberal beacon”, citing its editorials voicing opposition to the occupation, the discriminatory treatment of Arab citizens.
“The China-Russia-Iran-Nork alliance has been forming into shape for quite a while”
The new ‘axis of evil’
“Putin has the Cross in his hand and the devil in his heart.”
pooty has fooled far too many here!
if you want to understand Haaretz, just ask what would hurt Israel and the Jewish people
Russia really has no standing to condemn other countries for violating UN directives...
Ah,yes, Milosevic,who was the distributor or Zarqawi’s smuggled heroin, and who was Saddam Hussein’s trading partner.

KGB is Russia’s less competent intelligence agency.
You don’t remember? Russia kept promising to ride to Serbia’s rescue, but they left them hanging.
Whether some here like it or not this probably has become the clearest illustration of why Russia cannot be allowed to make advances in Europe.
