The American Veto against Palestine full membership of the UN means that the talk about “ two states solution “ is merely hypocritical and is meant to give Israel time to finish illegal settlements and annexation of the occupied Palestinian Territories.

As my employer - Columbia University University - calls armed riot police into campus to smash a peaceful protest against a genocide, we must all speak out. My former students have been arrested. I'm proud of you. History will be too. Remember what I said in our first class last year:

🚨UPDATE: Students have taken to the streets to prevent the corrections buses with the students from leaving. The student body is on the side of the Encampment and Palestine!!! COME TO 114 and AMSTERDAM to show solidarity and protect our own!!!

'Clearly Israel has decided to disavow the principles of the charter of the UN, of international law, of human rights, in order to perpetrate a genocide against the Palestinian people...'

Part of a great speech by the Bolivian representative at the UN security council.

'The time has come for the international community to finally welcome the fully sovereign and independent state of Palestine as a new member of the United Nations'

Brazil at the UN security council.

'The admission of the state of Palestine as a member of the UN is a critical & necessary step.. & we hope that when the question is put to us later, all hands will be raised to vote in favour of the legitimate & just request of the Palestinian people'

Guyana at the UN

'This is the fundamental difficulty in addressing the injustice against the Palestinian people, non compliance with legally & morally binding decisions, and a lack of accountability for this non compliance'

Guyanas representative at the UN security council

Is the UN security council really the place to be telling jokes?

The US representative at the UN says Irans attack on Israel was designed to inflict significant damage & loss of life, and it is vital the international community condemns it.

Hypocrisy laid bare.

The UK representative at the UN sums up the UKs position on recognising Palestine as a state. Not today. Maybe a week next Thursday.

'This meeting & the vote to force the establishment of a Palestinian nazi state will be remembered as the catalyst of the UNs collapse.. a meeting where a terror entity could be given full membership status. This is how far the UN has fallen'

The Israeli representative at the UN

The Israeli representative at the United Nations arguing that there's only room at the UN for one nuclear armed genocidal regime.

The Israeli representative at the United Nations security council when he mentions the security council.

Of course Israels staunchest allies don't care about the contempt Israel holds for international bodies. But I wonder what the rest of the world thinks?

The Israeli representative at the United Nations says that if Palestine is made a full member of the UN it advances the establishment of a Palestinian nazi state and the UN security council should be renamed the terror council.

At the UN the representative of an Israeli govt that rejects the Palestinians ever having a state says recognising Palestine as a state would harm any chance for future dialogue.

.Dalia Gebrial 🍉 makes the entirely uncontroversial point that the UK can't claim moral superiority while it continues to arm Israel. But watch/listen to the incredulity of her fellow guests.

Tory peer Baron Jackson of Peterborough says the Iranian consulate in Damascus was a legitimate target for Israel to bomb.

The Baron used to be an MP until voters voted him out in 2017. Boris Johnson gifted him a seat for life in the Lords in 2022.

Stewart Jackson lost his seat as an Tory MP in 2017 & was later given a seat in the Lords by Boris Johnson. When Dalia Gebrial 🍉 points out that the International Court of Justice found it plausible that Israels acts in Gaza could amount to genocide, he says thats untrue.
