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.”
It was the second Russian resolution on the Israel-Hamas war that was rejected....

If Russia actually said this they are wrong. But the broader question is..did Israel WANT to defend their citizens on Oct 7th.
Word is that the strike helicopter pilots were told to STAND DOWN, even as the actually could hear the shooting going on.
I know it does not fit your minute mental capacity at thinking, but there is a lot more to this than you can understand.
When in doubt, blame the Jews.
Like I said. Ignorant people have no explanation as to why this happened.
They do not care and will never care. Just ignorant.
There is huge difference between an intelligence failure and willfully engineering an attack on your own citizens. I spose you believe the U.S planned Pearl Harbor, or 9/11.
Putler is a Hypocrite!
This is wrong. One, Israel is a UN member. Two, at the time the UN created Israel, the entire Arab world expelled Jews, largely restricted to taking only what they could carry.
Uncool
Well I'll tell you what, these statements certainly go against the rhetoric I've about Russia in recent years, about them being Israel's bestest buddy and all. Ezekiel 38/39 is sure lining up pretty quickly these days.
Like I said. Ignorant people continue to be ignorant.
For a matter of fact. Australia is well known for their policies toward the indigenous peoples in Australia.
Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya: “Israel has no right to defend itself against Hamas: Russia”
Ukraine has no right to defend itself against Russia
There, fixed it
The irony is rather thick.
Seems like the Russians are letting their mouths write checks that their fannies can’t cash.
Well guess what morons: there is Someone Who will cash those checks and they will NOT like the payout.
Ezekiel 38 and 39 and Zech. 12
Indeed. I just wish He wasn’t so patient! Maranatha!🙏
“Strange that the UN would call Israel an “occupying state” when it was the UN that initially formed the state of Israel.”
That’s an astute observation, sir. Unfortunately, those cretins aren’t familiar with logic.
Amen! That makes both of us!
HAMAS CONTROLS GAZA——
ISRAEL LEFT THERE in 2005.
IS the news that slow getting to RUSSIA???
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO GET A SHIRT ON A HORSE?????
