US blocks UN resolution condemning Israel for deaths in Gaza clashes that “Palestinians” began

Apr 2, 2018 10:55 am By Robert Spencer

The Times of Israel reported in another article that “Palestinian” “rioters threw rocks and firebombs at Israeli troops on the other side of the fence, burned tires and scrap wood, sought to breach and damage the security fence, and, in at least one case, opened fire at Israeli soldiers.”

Then they run to the UN to secure victimhood status. It has worked for years. But now, there is Trump, and Nikki Haley.

“US blocks UN resolution condemning Israel for deaths in Gaza clashes,” Times of Israel, April 1, 2018:

The United States on Saturday blocked a draft UN Security Council statement urging restraint and calling for an investigation of clashes on the Gaza-Israel border, diplomats said.

Kuwait, which represents Arab countries on the council, presented the proposed statement, which called for an “independent and transparent investigation” of the violence.

The draft council statement also expressed “grave concern at the situation at the border.” And it reaffirmed “the right to peaceful protest” and expressed the council’s “sorrow at the loss of innocent Palestinian lives.”

The draft statement was circulated to the council on Friday, but on Saturday the United States raised objections and said it did not support its adoption, a Security Council diplomat told AFP.

The US mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The proposed statement also called “for respect for international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including protection of civilians,” according to the draft seen by AFP.

Council members “called upon all sides to exercise restraint and prevent a further escalation,” the draft said. The proposed statement stressed the need to promote peace between Israel and the Palestinians based on a two-state solution.

The Palestinian Authority on Saturday blamed the US and Britain for obstructing the Palestinian and Arab effort to persuade the Security Council to issue a resolution blasting Israel for the 15 Palestinian fatalities….

    Excellent. I am very happy we have blocked the UN call to punish Israel for a confrontation they DID NOT initiate.

    • Westman says

      Apr 2, 2018 at 5:05 pm

      And an independent investigation into the clashes is the LAST desire of Hamas, the PA, and the UN’s OIC because it will disclose their mendacity. Big hat, big voice, no cattle.

      Whatever it may be…any push back against the Palestinians and their effort to do harm to israel Is welcomed…For a good start ban the UN from the U.S. They are just using needed space…

      Agreed. It was called the March of Return…. with their intent ” right in your face”. It was not a peaceful protest…but one in which the Palestinians came with firebombs and rocks – as they burnt tires and wood, and most importantly, tried to breach and destroy the security fence, which is Isreali property. A U.N. which despises the only democracy in an extremely volatile region of the world, shows just how far the U.N. has drifted away from the principles of decency & democracy.

    The draft council statement also expressed “grave concern at the situation at the border.” And it reaffirmed “the right to peaceful protest” and expressed the council’s “sorrow at the loss of innocent Palestinian lives.”

    ——————————————————

    “Grave concern”, my ass! What a crock of doo doo! This whole thing is couched as if peaceful bystanders were injured by oppressive Israelis out to get them, when it is well known fact that Hamas meticulously organized this days or weeks in advance, with the intended outcome of violence (hoping for much worse, actually, casualty-wise), in keeping with muslim victimology subterfuge strategies.

    They shamelessly use their people as expendable casualties to accomplish their goals, which they did successfully here: This is exactly what they wanted. They had initially expressed disappointment at the turnout, but their disappointment quickly turned to satisfaction when they found out there had been deaths of some of the rioters they could use as an opportunity to get something submitted at the UN.

    Some noses got bloodied, and a few of these a*holes’ who were looking for trouble ended up getting whacked, and now they’re crying about it.

    Way to go Haley and Trump on blocking this nonsense.

    And so much for the Gulf States not being in lock step with Hamas when it comes time to stick it to the Israelis, eh? They certainly didn’t hesitate to submit the resolution.

    It is very heartening to know that the United States stopped this Islamic sponsored resolution condemning the State of Israel which has every right to defend itself. When the Christians are burnt alive in Pakistan,their properties destroyed ,their daughters abducted , raped and converted to EVIL ISLAM, I wonder why NO MUSLIM COUNTRY ever submits a resolution condemning the Muslims in Pakistan and the WEST also conveniently remains quiet so as not to be called RACIST AND ISLAMOPHOBE .I think that U.N has passed its usefulness. Pakistan and its Government are one of the most ANTI-CHRISTIAN entity in the world and lacks any decency and morals but only Islam in purest form.

    A big Thank You to Both Haley & Our Own President Trump for kicking the Long Tails of the UN Rodents. The Pro-Muslim UN should be put out of a JOB & Quickly, We Need to Stop Financing these Rat-Tailed, Nose Picking UN Muslim Delegates in their Blood-Stained Robes.

      What a load of tripe. Defedning against a violent invasion is not “genocide”.

      This is especially grotesque since Ibrahim itace muhammed has said how much he is looking forward to personally taking part in the genocide of the Jews.

    “The Independent” has an article by one Daniel Amir which claims that peaceful Palestinians were met with ‘live fire’ by Israeli troops. The article makes absolutely no mention of the, at least, 10 uniformed, Hamas jihadists killed while trying to breach the fence, armed with Kalashnikovs and grenades. Also, there is no mention of a 7 year old girl being cynically placed near the fence by Hamas in the hope of drawing fire by the IDF.

    Also, The Independent has chosen not to allow any posts in the comments section. Why? The Indy knows that most comments posted would tell the truth that Daniel Amir assiduously avoids!

    Good for President Trump! The Mexicans are staging a similar event featuring thousands of migrants from South America. Mexico is letting the migrants into Mexico and helping them get to the US border. They are going to stage protests there and attempt to force entry into the United States.

    We will see if he is as resolute in defending our own borders from similar staged incursions.

    • Granddaddy says

      And Chile is now pro-Islam. So who knows where these migrants will actually be from.

    Muslims will always claim victim status: Why should they get more concern than the Yazidis? Or the Copts, middle east Christian or other African Christians and all the Islamic countries Christians? “Many around the world are unable to see Christians and non muslims as victims” . Muslims are the single greatest force for evil in all the world. Almost 33,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks is just partially dispositive of what a curse Muslims are to mankind.
    total inversion of reality
    islamists are doing the killing ,non-Muslims everywhere always get the brunt of it. This grotesque attempt yet again to portray Muslims as victims after a jihad attack is just the latest of many, as this is a tried and tested response straight out of the playbook for Muslim spokesmen in the West, but it nonetheless still amounts simply to an attempt to deflect attention from where it should be. Authorities should be challenging the Muslim community in West today about the extent of sympathy for the Islamic State within their communities, since the Islamic State has called for stabbing attacks in the West. They should be calling upon Muslims in West to begin to back up their words of condemnation for the attack with real action to counter the idea that it is a righteous deed to commit violence against the kuffar. Instead, as always, we get this disgusting victimhood posturing. Remember: no Muslims were stabbed in West, nor should they be, but from the tenor of this article, you might get the impression that an “Islamophobe” had targeted Muslims in West. It’s a total inversion of reality.
    Arab saying that sums up the methodology of Muslim victimhood:
    “Darabni wa-baka, sabaqni wa-ishtaka.”
    as in: “He hit me and then HE cried, and then he ran to the police!”
    or more simply: “He hit me and quickly cried: ‘He attacked me,’ he lied.”
    —————
    Crying and lying after starting all the trouble.
    This is their modus operandi and why not? Isn’t allah himself the best of all deceivers?
    Quite the performance artists too, Muslims (here, the Muslim Brotherhood) who spew hate and intolerance and contempt and jihad to their co-religionists, turning into scared little rabbits who need
    protection and comforting from the credulous kuffar.
    For the purpose of imposing Islamic norms on non-Muslims and silencing voices they dislike hearing, and don’t want non-Muslims hearing.
    By crying and lying louder than anyone else.
    How about Mohammedan who by the very creed of their “religion” must HATE all non-believers? Are those non-believers fate from hands of hateful Mohammedans not sufficient cause for protective action? No, according to “authorities,” because they suffer from so called “bigoted Islamophobia.” Well, Mohammedans suffer from KAFIR-phobia! They are NOT in danger: they are the SOURCE of all danger!

      Donald Trump just hit a 50 percent approval rating, higher than Obama had at the same stage of his first term. That’s great news.
      And Nikki Haley is no doubt one of our greatest national assets. Can you imagine if her post were occupied by the likes of Rex Tillerson or H R McMaster? Shudder the thought.

      When the “Palestinians” heartlessly and cynically sent that poor 7-year old girl to the fence, hoping that she would be killed by Israeli gunfire, they showed their ugly hand for the entire world to see.

      “The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”
      – Israeli diplomat, politician, and author Abba Eban after the Geneva Peace Conference with Arab countries (21 December 1973).

  14. Baucent says

    Apr 2, 2018 at 9:09 pm

    The whinging “Palestinians” for too long could expect their brother Arabs in the UN to stir up votes of condemnation against Israel for any and every incident that occurs. Those days appear over for now. Most of these incidents are simply internal Policing matters nothing to do with the UN Security Council. Trump has brought common sense to US foreign policy.
