UN votes 124-14 to strip Israel of right to self-defense in Gaza, West Bank

The resolution also calls on member states not to sell arms or military equipment to Israel that would be used in Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem.

The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday voted 124-14 to strip Israel of the right to self-defense against Palestinian terrorism in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and east Jerusalem.

The text of the resolution was based on the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion in July that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory was illegal.

In my lifetime a lot of borders have changed. Only Israel is made a pariah for defending itself. Satan's minions are hard at work to do their master's bidding.

Reminds me of Psalms 2

Why are the nations so angry?

Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

The kings of the earth prepare for battle;

the rulers plot together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.

“Let us break their chains,” they cry,
“and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

But the one who rules in heaven laughs.
The Lord scoffs at them.

Then in anger he rebukes them,
terrifying them with his fierce fury.

For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne
in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.”

The king proclaims the Lord’s decree:
“The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son.

Today I have become your Father.
Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
the whole earth as your possession.
You will break them with an iron rod
and smash them like clay pots.’”

Now then, you kings, act wisely!
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

Serve the Lord with reverent fear,
and rejoice with trembling.

Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry,
and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.

But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

Question:

How are the United Nothing going to enforce it?
Send in some blue helmets?
Don't think so.

I agree , it's a big nothingburger.

Do all the votes they want

 

[Work4Peanuts]

It's really not their call to make.

For those interested, the article gives the following information:

"New Zealand supported the resolution as did 13 EU nations: Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain."

It may be a nothing burger, or it might turn in to a something burger. The USA got a UN resolution to build that coalition that rolled over Iraq and ultimately killed Sadam Hussein.

UN actions create legitimacy in the eyes of the fallen world for some things. Russia could use that vote, for example, to build the Eze coalition to ostensibly enforce that UN mandate.

God knows and remembers who voted which way and why

Nothing is a nothingburger when it comes to Israel and the Jewish people.

But member states could give arms or military equipment?
Or give monetary aid, which Israel could then use to buy arms and equipment direct from the manufacturers or third-party brokers?


and where's the resolution telling member states not to sell arms or equipment to PLO/PA, Hamas, Hezbollah,Iran, Syria, Yemen, etc.?

Yeah that would also probably factor in who's president of the US as well before it turns into a something burger

This is just disgusting to see. Thankfully God is in control and has His eye on His people and nobody is going to do anything without His permission.
But wow.
