U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Should Resign At Once

Instead of using his moral authority to condemn the horrific butchery of Israeli civilians by the internationally recognized terrorist organization Hamas, Antonio Guterres goose-stepped to his podium and sickeningly expressed a moral equivalency between the attacker and the attacked thereby rendering him unfit to serve one minute longer as the U.N.’s secretary-general.
Instead of declaring to the world that the Islamic killers of Hamas cannot be allowed to live amongst us he made excuses for the inexcusable.
Instead of stating unequivocally that what happened on October 7th. was wrong he equivocated between good and evil.

It is not for nothing that in his “Inferno” Dante reserved the most scorching regions of Hell for those who faced with a moral dilemma tried to remain neutral.
It has been said that one of the best ways to test someone’s character is to give him some power and watch how he uses it. On Tuesday, Antonio Guterres failed that test so spectacularly by placing himself firmly on the side of pure evil. He should be pole-axed at once.

UN chief’s comment that Hamas attack ‘did not happen in a vacuum’ outrages Israeli officials

Israeli officials were outraged Wednesday over U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ comment that the deadly Hamas attack on southern Israel “did not happen in a vacuum,” calling it justification for terrorism. Foreign Minister Eli Cohen canceled a scheduled meeting with Guterres while Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, said the U.N. chief “failed the test.”

“I will not meet with the UN secretary-general. After the October 7 massacre, there is no place for a balanced approach. Hamas must be erased off the face of the planet!” Cohen posted Tuesday on social platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Israel’s envoy to the U.N. Gilad Erdan called for his resignation, saying Israel must rethink its relations with the world body.

“We will refuse to grant visas to U.N. representatives. We have already refused to give one to Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths,” Erdan told Army Radio, accusing Guterres of justifying a slaughter. “It’s time to teach them a lesson.”

Israel historically has had tense relations with the U.N., accusing it of being biased against it.

On Tuesday, Guterres addressed a special Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war that was sparked by the militant group’s Oct.7 attack, which left at least 1,400 Israelis dead, and more than 220 taken hostage.

Israeli airstrikes have destroyed large swaths of the Gaza enclave, leaving at least 6,500 Palestinians killed, including over 2,700 children, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. The U.N. chief told the council that he “condemned unequivocally the horrifying and unprecedented 7 October acts of terror by Hamas in Israel.” “Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring and kidnapping of civilians — or the launching of rockets against civilian targets,” he said.

But his contextualization of the attack created an uproar in Israel. It was important, Guterres said, to acknowledge that “the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.”

“The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing,” he said.
