Israel has said the “time has come to teach the United Nations a lesson” by banning UN officials from visiting the country – in a row over remarks from secretary-general Antonio Guterres that the deadly 7 October attack by Hamas “did not happen in a vacuum” and had to be seen in the context of decades of occupation of the Palestinians.
“What occupation?”
“Please help us, we’re literally dying, we are losing everything we have and we have nowhere to turn, please we’re begging you…”
“IsRaEl HaS tHe RiGhT tO dEfEnD iTsElF”
“Israel did what? We didn’t see anything.”
“If you have empathy for Palestinian people, you’re a terrorist”
“They are not people”
