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....

NOT for 18 YEARS
Hey Gibsonguy. You said: “ Russia is not so stupid they would say “ Israel has no right to defend itself against Hamas”.
The Nebenzya ghoul just said exactly that. Why are you commenting that he has not? Overwhelmingly confident of Russia intellectual capabilities? Just look at his ugly mug, he has none of those.
Stay with your guitar, genius…
Kewl, all three of them suck.
“Word is” - that’s your source of information?
Putin is a neo-soviet thug. That has been obvious from the beginning of his regime.
Of course the russkis can’t admit Israel’s right to self defense ... That would imply that Ukraine also has a right to self defense. Like hamas, russia is an invader.
“There are a myriad of stories that there was a shitton of intel and Bebe ignored them.”
“No less than Rep. Mike McCaul tried to tee it up and apparently was ignored.”
” Egypt warned Israel days before Hamas struck, US committee chairman says
House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee head Michael McCaul told reporters of the alleged warning.”
“We know that Egypt has warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen,” Mr McCaul told reporters following a closed-door intelligence briefing on Wednesday for lawmakers about the Middle East crisis, according to AFP news agency.”
“I don’t want to get too much into classified, but a warning was given,” the Texas Republican added. “I think the question was at what level.”
“An Egyptian intelligence official told the Associated Press news agency this week that Cairo had repeatedly warned the Israelis “something big” was being planned from Gaza.”
“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.”
If Putin were a Christian, he would not be against Israel when they are being attacked..
Sometimes it’s just fun triggering you zeke boys
As contrasted by PedoJoe?
Does PedoJoe not also have ‘the Cross in his hand and the devil in his heart’? The last time I checked, a father, taking naked showers with his daughter, was considered a sin AND a crime. Of course, there is everything else that he did. Who, among the various elected officials in so called ‘democracies’, are NOT crooked or beholding to others?
Bottom line, as various preachers have stated, NO country is really ‘God’s country’. ALL countries/constitutions are creations of MAN. The ancient Israelites wanted to be like other countries and have a king (man’s idea), rather than Divinely appointed Judges (God’s idea).
As I’ve posted MANY times, NATO, represented primarily by the US, should NOT have been involved in the war in Ukraine. That said, God calls us to support Israel, as we should. Actions by Israel that are unjust, will be chastised by Him.
Same old non-responsive response from fieldmarshaldj, the Putin Fanbois' Putin Fanboi.
I posted this to fieldmarshaldj a couple of months ago:
Misquoted and out of context. This is the lie of omission.
Think I’m wrong? Prove it.
Show the original statement in its complete form, not a muddled fragment with someone’s spin.
The Palestinian "Christians" are also against Israel when they are being attacked.
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.
The author is deliberately misleading or incompetent. Since 1967, Israel has illegally occupied a large swath of Palestinian territory. Israel was not attacked in 1967 but was the aggressor. They termed their action a pre-emptive strike, which under internatoonal law only means they certified they were the aggressor. Any lands occupied are not legally theirs.
The illegally occupied territory which was the area of the recent attacks cannot be cited for a claim of self-defense. Israel is not claiming self-defense regarding the Gaza strip but what is an area that does not legally belong to them.
That Israel did, or did not, cede Gaza in 2005 is legally diversionary irrelevance.

Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory illegal: UN rights commission 20 October 2022Human Rights
Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful under international law due to its permanence and the Israeli government’s de facto annexation policies, a UN-appointed Commission of Inquiry said in its first report, published on Thursday.
FWIW, international law is clear. Israel cannot claim self-defense of illegally occupied territory.
I just expose you globalist warmongering trolls and you just whine (or slander or make death threats).
Curious you chose to link to the very thread where the death threat by Alter Kaker was made against me, just 10 posts above your linked post. Very curious.
The only thing you expose is your moral bankruptcy, intellectual feebleness, and lack of imagination, in the service of evil. You do not make a substantive comment in the service of Putin, because there is none to be made.
Oh, false and damaging written statements are libel, not slander.
And if the damaging statement is true, it's not libelous.
And if the reputation of subject of the defamatory statement is so poor to begin with, that it is not damaged, it's not libelous.
I’m not the one defending evil. You’re the one defending a morally bankrupt regime in Kiev, a Dick Tatorship. A pervert lunatic hungering for WW3 and billions in American taxpayer kickbacks. You’re the one defending lies and liars on this website, straight-up globalist-Marxist propaganda from Soros and Schwab. And defending slander of FReeper patriots opposed to that evil agenda. And lastly, standing by degenerate trolls who make death threats.
I’ll pray for you.
Sorry, darling. I pray for peace. I know that breaks your heart. I pray for your sanity and your soul. All your worship and defense of evil has poisoned it. Same with all the other death-wisher colleagues of yours.
Have a nice day.
