The #UN halved the number of female and under-18 Palestinian casualties in the Israel-Hamas war; earlier this month, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs stopped citing #statistics from the Hamas-run Government Media Office in its updates. A U.N. spokesperson blamed “the fog of war” for the office’s previously #inaccurate counts. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/israel-middle-east/united-nations-halves-estimate-of-women-and-children-killed-in-gaza #hamas #israel Today, under 5,000 women and 8,000 children are now officially listed by the UN as #casualties.


I'm quite frustrated with the liberal news agencies.

I went to check on the report about the UN reducing the number of reported Gazan casualties. They reduced the number by half, *half*, and yet I only see this reported in Conservative news sources.... From a UN report!

Any casualty is tragic, but the idea that the number of women and children who have died is *half* the number they previously released is a huge deal, and brings the number of casualties to be much lower than we've seen discussed in this unprecedented, highly urban war.

I complained about Conservatives courting Jews, but I must emphasize once again that this is not on Jews to be courted, it's on Liberals and the Left to court Jews, and if they lose a generation or two of Jews to the right, I will be sad but it will be obvious why...

Left, DO BETTER. Report the news even if it challenges your narrative.

How about: you shred the UN charter, you get booted from the UN. Sound fair?

Israel just shredded the UN 🇺🇳 charter at the United Nations and I am not sure if there is a visual more fitting for what that country has done to the world:


#UN General Assembly overwhelmingly votes positively on resolution to accept #Palestine as qualified to join as full member. 143 countries vote yes, 9 no, 25 abstain. (Possibly paywalled) https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-general-assembly-set-back-palestinian-bid-membership-2024-05-10/


The UN General Assembly is expected to vote overwhelmingly in favour of enhanced Palestinian membership of the United Nations.

And it could carry far-reaching consequences.

The draft text, co-sponsored by #Ireland among others, will recognise that #Palestine is qualified for full #UN membership and recommend that the Security Council reconsider the matter, after it was blocked by a US veto last month.

Plastic, Plastic Everywhere — Even at the UN’s “Plastic Free” Conference
==

At a conference meant to address the plastic crisis, pro-plastic messaging was inescapable.

Meanwhile, industry insiders — some positioned as government delegates — were given access to vital negotiations.

UN experts decry mass graves in Gaza. Over 390 bodies found at Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals, “including of women and children, with many reportedly showing signs of torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive.”

Lying #Israel & its feckless Western supporters of #genocide stopped funding to #UNWRA in #Gaza based on a LIE. That LIE has been exposed by the #UN. How many children have died as a result of the lack of aid occasioned by this lie? You don't need bullets to murder women & children when you are #israel, you can use lies. How do you #Zionists feel? Happier yet, or do you need some more dead children? https://www.palestinechronicle.com/un-report-israel-lacks-evidence-for-allegations-against-unrwa-employees/

No surprise at all - but disgusting and hypocritical on the part of the US. And the entire world sees this.

- PRCS expresses ‘grave concern’ over safety of its detained members
- ‘Not enough aid is getting into Gaza’: UNRWA
- US says Israel agrees to listen to American concerns during Rafah meeting
