Israel Responds to UN's Demands for a Ceasefire
Townhall ^ | 10/01/2024 | Rebecca Downs

On Tuesday, as reports were coming in of Iran's ballistic missiles hitting Israel, António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the anti-Israel United Nations, posted his demands for a ceasefire. 

"I condemn the broadening of the Middle East conflict with escalation after escalation," Guterres posted. "We absolutely need a ceasefire," he also insisted, as if we haven't already heard such a call from the UN so many times before. 

I condemn the broadening of the Middle East conflict with escalation after escalation.

This must stop.

We absolutely need a ceasefire.— António Guterres (@antonioguterres) October 1, 2024

UN Secretary General calls for a CEASEFIRE during the Iranian missile attack against Israel.

Guterres' post has received approximately 8,000 replies taking issue with his demands. Israel's X account also contributed to the over 1,000 quoted reposts, telling Guterres in no uncertain terms that they will not give into his demands.

"We condemn your inability to string together a tweet which holds Iran responsible for firing 181 ballistic missiles at 10 million Israeli civilians," the post fittingly read.

Matt's also covered how Israel will conduct airstrikes across the region in response to the attack.

Demanding a ceasefire wasn't the only problematic part of Guterres' post. Naftali Bennett, the former prime minister of Israel also took issue with Guterres referring to "the broadening" of conflict, rather than condemning the Islamic Republic of Iran for their aggression against the Jewish State. 

Guterres expressed grave concern about Lebanon earlier on Tuesday, in which he also "appeal[ed] for an immediate ceasefire." His post even spoke about how "the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon must be respected."

Such a post also received some less than friendly responses, with many also reminding about what a failure the UN has been on this issue. 

I am extremely concerned with the escalation of the conflict in Lebanon and appeal for an immediate ceasefire.

An all-out war must be avoided in Lebanon at all costs, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon must be respected.— António Guterres (@antonioguterres) October 1, 2024

Oh, you’re concerned for Lebanon?

Where were you when Hezbollah has took Lebanon hostage and made the entire South of Lebanon a military base?

Israel is FREEING Lebanon from its cancer, Hezbollah. Cut the BS.— Vivid.🇮🇱 (@VividProwess) October 1, 2024

You were also extremely silent for almost 12 months, as Hezbollah pounded Israel with rockets and UNIFIL looked the other way as UNSC Resl 1701 was trashed. Now you can’t even mention Hezbollah. You are a coward and an embarrassment of a leader!— Arsen Ostrovsky 🎗️ (@Ostrov_A) October 1, 2024

"The sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon" hasn't been respected since Hezbollah terrorists began operating a State within a State in Lebanon.

Resolution 1701 called for disarming Hezbollah and keeping them out of South Lebanon.

The last year has proven UN's failure— Joel M. Petlin (@Joelmpetlin) October 1, 2024

The timing was particularly poor on such a post, as the IDF was posting about sirens going off not long after Guterres was posting about Lebanon. Further, there were reports earlier in the day about the White House being aware of Iran preparing to "imminently" attacking Israel with ballistic missiles.

For all of his demands, especially to do with Lebanon, Guterres might want to take it up with Hezbollah. In addition to invading Lebanon on Monday, Israel has been taking out Hezbollah terrorists for weeks, including just after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the UN last Friday, in a move that was purposefully meant to give the terrorists a false sense of security. 

The UN's X account has reposted Guterres and doubled down on concerns for Lebanon and with calling for a ceasefire, posting and reposting about Lebanon no less than four times on Tuesday.

A pinned post from the UN, posted earlier on Tuesday, points out that "civilians always pay the highest price." In Israel on Tuesday, approximately 10 million civilians were the target of Iran's missiles. 

In conflict, civilians always pay the highest price.

War is not the answer.

We need peace.

Israel should reply that they have not attacked the UN and until they do there is no reason for a ceasefire.

Israel is our proxy to settle a forty-five year score with Iran.

Don’t hold back, Bibi!

"I condemn the broadening of the Middle East conflict with escalation after escalation," Guterres posted. "We absolutely need a ceasefire,"

First off you 💩for 🧠 globalist scumbags, the Israeli's did not start all this War/terrorism and unwarranted violence the "religion of pieces of 💩" is foisting on the Israeli People and the rest of the World !!!

The Crusades should have never been stopped !!! If they had finished the job back then the Civilized World would not be dealing with this 💩!!!

So take your unecessary money grubbing asses out of America and STAY OUT !!!

All a "ceasefire" for the terrorist scumbags is a time to rebuild the weapons supply and plan the next round of terroristic attacks on the rest of the world.

SO STFU AND GO AWAY !!!

The United Nations awaits their Antichrist.

He will pretend to be a friend of Israel and will
confirm a covenant of 7 years of 'Peace and Security'

3-1/2 years later, he shall break his promises and
the False Prophet will set up
the Abomination that Causes Desolation

THEN shall be Great Tribulation such as never was nor ever shall be

Their response should be something like this:

Peace is not the absence of war. Peace is a condition in which neighboring peoples respect each other’s right to exist and prosper. Israel has seen absence of war but has never known peace. This is because Israel’s neighbors have never respected Israel’s right to exist and prosper. Hamas and Hezbollah are militant groups attempting to destroy Israel. Israel is quite justified in trying to destroy these groups, and a ceasefire that leaves these groups in place cannot result in peace. Therefore there will be no ceasefire so long as these groups exist.

The UN is an oppressive one world government communist organization. We need to get out, and any other nation that wants to maintain its sovereignty.

Hopefully BiBi’s response can be interpreted as the well-known universal gesture of defiance.

I agree with him. Iran should surrender, along with their 3 stooges, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis (the 3 H’s).
