One cannot bomb hospitals hosting hundreds of patients and sheltering thousands of refugees. Sorry, we need to look for another solution, and not to bomb hospitals. Absolutely not. This is criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n Actually, while Hamas reported that an Israeli rocket had hit a Gaza hospital, killing \u201c500,\u201d the truth is that it was a Hamas rocket gone askew that hit a hospital parking lot, leaving some property damage.<\/p>\n The Free Beacon reported, \u201cThe day after Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 attack that killed more than 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians, Albanese said she was \u2018horrified by the narrative\u2019 that focused outrage on Hamas for the attack. She also condemned Israel\u2019s \u2018militarized settler colonial occupation\u2019 and violence against \u2018defenseless Palestinians.’\u201d<\/p>\n Actually, the Hamas terrorists, reports confirm, carried drugs with them so they could reduce their own sensitivity and instructions for carrying out atrocities, such as beheading babies and burning whole families alive, which they did.<\/p>\n Other officials at the U.N., which has a long and radicalized history of attacking Israel more than any other group on earth, already had blasted Israel for its self-defense.<\/p>\n Secretary General Antonio Guterres earlier adopted a political agenda in claiming that the Hamas terror attacks \u201cdid not happen in a vacuum.\u201d<\/p>\n Copyright 2023\u00a0WND News Center<\/a><\/p>\n The post U.N. \u2018Commissioner\u2019 Claims Israel Doesn\u2019t Have Right to Self-defense<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
