UN Chief 'Slams' Truce Breaches as Israel Strikes Khan Younis (Again)
The UN's António Guterres has reportedly 'slammed' continued Israeli strikes in Gaza, particularly in Khan Younis, following a three-week ceasefire breach. This isn't the first time an international body has uttered strong words only to watch the bulldozers keep moving (or bombs falling, in this case). Netanyahu's governments have consistently disregarded international condemnation, from 2002's
Operation Defensive Shield to 2014's Operation Protective Edge. The UN has passed over 100 resolutions against Israel since 1967, and how many have been enforced? Zero. Meanwhile, the US Senate recently approved HR 815, allocating $14 billion in military aid to Israel. Conveniently, many senators who voted yes, like Senator Schumer (over $30K from pro-Israel groups in 2022, per OpenSecrets.org),
appear more concerned with legislative deliverables than UN 'slams.' (Perhaps they're just getting their aid checks in before the moral 'slams' hit the fan.)
