Forever Wars: UNSC passes ‘paper tiger-humanitarian pause’ Resolution!

On 15NOV2023, the United Nations Security Council passed the Malta initiated Resolution 2023-876 calling for unhindered humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, demands the cessation of attacks against hospitals, civilians and aid workers!  12 countries voted in favor, no country voted against it, Russia, United Kingdom and United States joined together in abstaining from voting on the UNSC resolution!

After the U.S. abstained from voting, the U.S. ambassador hypocritically praised the resolution, then denounced Russia and China, and blamed Palestinians for the war!

Israel to ignore UNSC resolution, the Israeli ambassador to the UN says hospitals are “fortified bases”! Palestinian ambassador to the UN says the resolution is a paper tiger, calling it “selective outrage” that does nothing about ending the war, or enforcing international laws of war/humanitarian war crimes!

Some Facebook groups (I am now no longer part of), removed all my posts about the UNSC resolution on Gaza! Blind Bat News was also blocked, possibly due to the use of recent, verifiable, international news-media reports concerning Israel!

Forever Wars, November 2023: U.S. TALKS ‘HUMANITARIAN PAUSE’ YET DEPLOYS EVEN MORE FIREPOWER TO MIDDLE EAST!

In 2012, I revealed that all the shenanigans in the Eastern Mediterranean were the result of the discovery of a massive gas/oil field ominously called Leviathan: RED HORSE, LEVIATHAN & WORLD WAR 3: IT’S ABOUT THE OIL & GAS, HUGE RESERVES FOUND OFF THE COAST OF CYPRUS, GAZA, GREECE, EGYPT, ISRAEL, LIBYA, LEBANON, TURKEY & SYRIA.
