United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres on Wednesday invoked Article 99 of the UN charter for the first time, citing a “severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza,” as the war rages on between Israel and militant group Hamas.

In a letter to José Javier De la Gasca Lopez Domínguez, the current UN Security Council President, Gutteres said he expects “public order to completely break down due to desperate conditions, rendering even limited humanitarian assistance impossible.”

What is your basis for calling Guterres an atheistic communist? According to his Wikipedia biography, he is a practicing Catholic. When there was a referendum on abortion in Portugal, he supported the pro-life side (which won). Wikipedia also quotes him saying that he does not like homosexuality.

My basis is his tenure in Portugal’s Socialist Party, serving as its general secretary for ten years. He was also part of their committee that negotiated his country joining the EUSSR.

Joe Biden also calls himself a “practicing Catholic”, remember.

PS. Where and when did the anti-abortion side in Portugal “win”? The 1996 referendum? Abortion has been legal there since 2007, and the referendum thereof was called by the then-president of that country’s Socialist Party. (Very quick about-face in a scant eleven years, yes?)

There’s one destination everyone on the Gaza side favors. The destination is eager to take them and has the capacity to take all of them. Yet the only side assisting the transfer is Israel and it is being criticized for it. Instead of being praised for sending them to Allah!

Guterres is personally upset after he was slammed...
