The United Nations (UN) significantly lowers its previously stated casualty list in the Gaza Strip,Ari Blaff (National Post)
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?

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter – video
The vote was a resounding expression of world opinion in favour of Palestinian statehood and Israel delivered a fiery denunciation of the resolutionThe Guardian
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.
