It has been more than three months since Hamas carried out the deadliest attack against Jews since the Holocaust and set this conflict into motion.
But just as these words send the wrong message, so too do the words we are not hearing from this Council. Why can some Council members still not bring themselves to condemn Hamas’ horrific terrorist attack on October 7th?
Why have some Council members stopped talking about the plight of the more than 100 hostages being held by Hamas or the fact that Hamas and Hezbollah continue to fire rockets on Israel?[…]
Roughly 250,000 Israelis are internally displaced because of these relentless attacks.

22.11.2023 US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield raps fellow UN Security Council members for minimizing or ignoring the crimes committed by Hamas on October 7.
« And why have some Council members refused to hold Hamas accountable for using civilians as human shields? We urge all Member States to speak out, and press Hamas and Hezbollah to do what is necessary to end the violence and displacement they have wrought. »[…]
The children who were executed in front of their parents. The families who were burned alive. The young people who were gunned down with glee.
We have also seen horrifying footage that points to Hamas’ rape and sexual assault of innocent civilians.
Where is the universal condemnation? And where is the outrage? Thomas-Greenfield asks during a Security Council session focused on the plight of women in the Israel-Hamas war. »
