Summary of the General Assembly speeches given by Israel & Palestine

Written by Democracia Participativa on 28 September 2024. Posted in Headlines.

Israel

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister – Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Prime Minister of Israel, said that after hearing numerous lies and slander, he decided to come personally “to set the record straight” and “to speak for the truth”.  As his country faces “savage enemies who seek our annihilation”, he stressed that “Israel seeks peace, Israel yearns for peace.”  Comparing the “unimaginable” atrocities committed by Hamas on 7 October to “the Nazi Holocaust”, he said:  “They savagely murdered 1,200 people, they raped and mutilated women, they beheaded men, they burnt babies alive.”  Israel has brought home 154 of 251 people taken hostage by Hamas and dragged into the “dungeons” of Gaza, he said, adding:  “We will not rest until the remaining hostages are brought home safely.”

Following the 7 October attack, Israel has been forced to defend itself on six more war fronts organized by Iran in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq, he noted.  In response to Iran’s first-ever direct assault on Israel, he warned:  “Strike us, we will strike you.  There is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach and that is true of the entire Middle East.”  Demonstrating two maps, he contrasted the “blessing” of development for Israel and its “Arab partners” with the “curse” of Iran’s influence in the region, warning that “Iran seeks to impose its radicalism beyond the Middle East and threatens the entire world.”  The world should “join Israel in stopping Iran’s nuclear weapons”, he said, calling on the UN to “snap back” sanctions against Iran.  “We must all do everything in our power to ensure Iran never gets nuclear weapons,” he emphasized.

Noting that the Israel Defense Forces continue fighting Hamas, he warned that if the group stays in power, “it will regroup, rearm and attack again.”  Therefore, he rejected “any rule for Hamas in a post-war Gaza”, adding that it would be “inconceivable” if the defeated Nazis were invited to rebuild Germany in 1945. “We do not seek to resettle Gaza,” he underscored, emphasizing that Israel wants a “demilitarized and de-radicalized” Gaza, adding that “only then can we ensure that this round of fighting will be the last.”

Summary of Estonia and Ukraine General Assembly speeches (9/24/2024)

Written by Democracia Participativa on 26 September 2024. Posted in Headlines.

Estonia

Alar Karis, Pres. of Estonia – Alar Karis, President

ALAR KARIS, President of Estonia said:  “I want to live in a world that is in peace,” where sovereign nations, whether big or small, are not conquered and colonized; where artificial intelligence serves and not hinders humanity; and where nobody has to fear oppression based on gender, race, nation beliefs or one's thoughts.  Regrettably, peace and freedom are under threat, he said, noting that the number of countries where political rights and civil liberties are diminishing is more than twofold in comparison to those where such freedoms are improving.  The international community may condemn brutal acts of violence but without efficient action against atrocities, it is not enough.  What “keeps us awake at night”, he said, is the children who are lost to conflicts, who will never be old enough to see a high school diploma or learn how to ride a bike.  The happiness of a child is the image that should set the moral compass of the international community, he said.

Stressing the importance of restoring the credibility of the UN, he said now more than ever it is vital to reform the Security Council.  Commending the Pact for the Future as a good guideline, he said “we should have been even more ambitious”.  The future Council must be efficient, open, and accountable and its composition must adequately reflect the current world.  The scope and use of the veto right has to be limited, he said, expressing support for all efforts to limit its use, especially on actions aimed at ending or preventing mass atrocities.  It is impossible to restore the credibility of the UN when a permanent Council member acts against the UN Charter principles, he said, adding “therefore, let us use wisely the powers of the General Assembly”.  Calling on delegates to analyse options to ensure that the Assembly gains more prominence, he added that future peace operations must better respond to existing challenges and emerging realities.

The Russian Federation's aggression against Ukraine, he said, causes inhumane suffering, as does the war in Gaza and other conflicts.  Since the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel almost a year ago, there has been too much suffering in Gaza and the region.  The two-State solution is the only way to a just and lasting peace, he stressed.  Noting how the global community has condemned the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine “in this very room”, he said it must also firmly condemn the actions of those who arm that country in this aggression — Iran and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “Russia’s war against Ukraine is as clear as black and white.  Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is the victim,” he stressed, adding that the “smooth talk about dialogue” and calls on the two countries to engage in direct peace talks is only supporting the Russian Federation’s cause. “We are not going to call Russia for a coffee,” he said, calling on that country to accept Ukraine’s 10-point peace formula.

Chinese spies exposed in the US

Written by The Epoch Times on 23 September 2024. Posted in Headlines.

‘The threat is deep,’ expert says, but expect U.S. law enforcement to make ’many more' arrests of agents acting at the behest of the CCP.

Washington DC, Sept.18.– For years, Beijing has been tightening its hold on the United States, drawing intelligence from the U.S. government while silencing critics with the help of agents embedded in U.S. society.

13 Chinese spies in the USThe United States is now hitting back—and seeing results, according to experts.

In early September, prosecutors arrested Linda Sun, a former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, accusing her of acting on behalf of Beijing and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in exchange for gifts and payouts to her family that were valued at millions of dollars.
