The Israel War

UN chief calls for maximum restraint after Iran's attack on Israel

Guterres, speaking to a meeting of the UN Security Council, told member states that the UN charter bars the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state as he condemned Iran's attack on Israel and warned against further escalation.

Of course he warned against escalation. Because the paradigm of normal behavior is rejected when it comes to Israel. Only the Jewish state is bound by the insanity of the UN's unworkable rules. "Do not retaliate. Do not respond. Do not protect one's country." Because Jewish and Israeli lives are simply not worth as much according to the U.N. The mush-mouthed platitudes the U.N. spouts mean nothing, because their real agenda...the marginalization of Israel and the elevation of Iran to be the real power in the Middle East is only temporarily on hold.

Does anyone expect the insane Iran nuclear deal to be shelved permanently?

No...it will be paused while the world works feverishly to rehabilitate Iran's standing.

Instead, the new despot can rape, beat, arrest, torture, molest, strangle, burn, whip, silence and rape his own citizens which is what those people deserve for being the savages they are and they like it.

44 So true, CBD. Well said as always. Did you notice the reports yesterday that Iran contacted Turkey before their attack…. To inform about air space usage or something like that. So Turkey reached out to our officials and got an okay “as long as it’s not too big”….. so we okayed the attack and now we don’t want retaliation.

67 from an account I follow on X:

1. Saturday's Iranian attack on Israel was widely telegraphed and explicitly anticipated in US major news outlets days in advance, with a steady drumbeat of “attack imminent.”
2. The Iranian military generally has good OPSEC, other than this past week.
3. The Iranian attack on Israel was almost wholly ineffectual, with zero Israeli casualties and minor property damage.
4. The Biden Administration is urging Israel to call this a “victory” and not retaliate.
5. Coincidentally, the House of Representatives is trying to vote this week on a controversial aid package for Ukraine and Israel.
6. Joe Biden and his son Hunter made $millions$ from Ukrainian companies operating in Ukraine, the world’s money laundering capital.

These are facts, none of which are in dispute. What do they tell you?

I am reminded of that great Violent Femmes song of the 1980s, “Add It Up."

79 With that in mind, it's also not surprising—though it's still shocking— that Joe Biden not only had prior knowledge of Iran's assault on Israel but also technically gave it the green light under certain conditions, according to a report from the Jerusalem Post."

And it was more than that - it appears that the US was given info about all the flight paths and the number of weapons to be launched well in advance; that's why it was easy to get 100% shootdown of everything but the ballistic missiles. (and the missiles had to be part of the attack or it would be too obviously fake)

All evidence suggests that this "attack" was organized and authorized by Biden and Blinken themselves to try and force Israel to stand down, and Iran was given promises of covert US support if they'd play along and follow the script that Blinken had written. They've been trying to force Israel to stand down for months now; they finally got what they wanted.

The Irish are a foolish lot, swallowing the US blarney. See Barron's & others, April 9, 2024: "Ireland will move to recognise a Palestinian state in the coming weeks, Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said Tuesday in Dublin"

Martin said he will bring a formal proposal on recognition of a Palestinian state to the government when "wider international discussions" are complete."

Coincidental Ireland got new Prime Minister Simon Harris, elected unopposed, 24 March 2024, after FJB welcomed the former PM only a month ago?

(BTW Micheál Martin is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who is serving as Tánaiste*, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Minister for Defence since December 2022. (*2nd highest rank in government.)

And, this is something: The UK Guardian, 4/8/24: 'Home Office refusal of Gaza family reunion requests ‘irrational’, judge rules.' Families succeed in legal challenges after Home Office refused to decide on reunion applications without biometric data

"A Home Office spokesperson told The Guardian: “We have received the outcome of the judicial review proceedings and are considering the impact. It would be inappropriate to comment further.”

97 2/2 - Also significant: Reuters, 04/08/24: Ireland's Martin calls for talks on N.Irish political reforms within a year

In part, "Discussions on the potential reform of how Northern Ireland's power-sharing government operates should begin within the next 12 months, Irish Foreign Minster Micheal Martin said on Monday."

Alrightly then! The current model for the 2 state solution, it seems.

EuroNews: 04/12/24: 'Like-minded EU countries should move together to recognise State of Palestine, says Charles Michel,' (European Council President)

"Speaking to journalists in Brussels this week, Michel floated "coordination at EU level" among those member states ready to formally recognise a Palestinian sovereign state, a move that has gained traction since the endorsement of Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Malta last month." Of course.

Another miracle: Center for Immigration Studies reports TODAY "President Biden recently ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to “defer” the removal of (and give work permits to) Palestinian illegal aliens because of the fighting in Gaza; the number of beneficiaries is estimated to be 6,000."

99 from the jpost article:

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan ... played a video on a tablet that he said showed Israel's interception of Iranian drones above Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound, one of Islam's holiest sites.
"Here, you can look at it," he gestured with the tablet and told the Iranian ambassador, who was also seated in the Security Council chamber.

wow; nice

101 from the jpost article:

"Let me be clear: if Iran or its proxies take actions against the United States or further action against Israel, Iran will be held responsible," [Deputy US Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood] said, adding that the US took note of Guterres' remarks and that Washington's actions have been defensive.

What "Washington's actions"?
