Israel has said the “time has come to teach the United Nations a lesson” by banning UN officials from visiting the country – in a row over remarks from secretary-general Antonio Guterres that the deadly 7 October attack by Hamas “did not happen in a vacuum” and had to be seen in the context of decades of occupation of the Palestinians.
Fascists are always the biggest cowards in any given situation. Because of this insecurity, they have to restrict speech, restrict movement, manufacture realities, bully their citizens, bully their partners, obfuscate, gaslight, and play the victim card over and over again to advance their awful goals. In every respect, Israel is a comically evil, insecure and dishonest entity. Actual democracies, like what the US keeps pretending Israel is, don’t need to hide their actions and berate the world community like this.
