On Friday, in new york, it was the cold embarrassment in the conference hall of the United Nations headquarters, and it was the angry cries of thousands of people on the streets.
This was done by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
As he addressed the general debate of the United Nations, representatives from dozens of countries stood up and left.
On Times Square in New York, protesters wore a portrait of Netanyahu wearing bracelets.
Someone shouted the slogan “liberate Palestine” and a sign that read “Is baby formula milk powder Hamas?”
The Israeli blockade of Gaza!
What is even more worrying is that the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against him, but the United States still allows him to be "free".
Not only are New Yorkers upset with the matter, but diplomats from 34 countries also gathered in The Hague to call for an end to the atrocities in Gaza.
Netanyahu's "treatment" in the United Nations has long hidden the attitude of the international community.
When he spoke on the same day, the delegates who left came from various regions, and before he left, some were still looking at the scene, and the silent protest was more straightforward than any words.
Statistics later revealed that the source of the applause was indeed a guest invited by an Israeli delegation.
Even so, the sparse sound was even more abrupt in the empty venue.
More controversially, his office also announced in a loud voice that it had ordered the Israeli military to invade Gaza’s residents’ phones.
His speech was broadcast live while broadcasting with an extender to the starving people in Gaza.
The Peninsula televisionly asked the UN spokesman Dugarik about the matter.
Questioning the United Nations function being “used to mock the people”, the other side said only “focused on alleviating the suffering of the Palestinians” and did not respond positively.
The situation in Gaza is worse than any slogan of protest.
Israeli operations in Gaza have killed more than 6.5 million people, 20,000 of whom are children.
This figure is not a cold statistic, but the broken family.
Just last month, in the south of Gaza, there was a father named Abdul, who had been in the ruins for three days.
In the end, I only found a pair of small shoes of my 4-year-old daughter. His wife and two other children are still buried under the rubble.
The local hospitals have long been full-loaded, with severe shortages of medicines and equipment, some doctors said in an interview,
Now even the anesthetic for simple surgery for children is almost gone, sometimes it is only possible to open the eyes and watch the injured person suffer.
Worse, Israel’s food restrictions on Gaza have plunged the region into a deadly famine.
A United Nations World Food Programme report last month showed that more than 90% of the people in Gaza eat only one meal a day.
Many children are unable to walk because of malnutrition.
There was a mother named Laila, who had to walk two hours a day to wait in line for relief food, but all she got was a small packet of flour and a bottle of water.
"My daughter always asks me for milk, but I can only hold her and cry".
The protests in the streets of New York didn’t rise instantly.
Thousands of people marched from Time Square on that day, carrying signs, including a protestant named Nasef.
The sign on his hand read “Arrest war prisoners.”
He told reporters: "Netanyahu should go to The Hague for trial, not come to new york to give a speech. This is a shame!"
Nasef also mentioned that Mamadani, the Democratic mayoral candidate of new york, had previously promised,
If an arrest warrant is issued by the International Criminal Court,
The United States is not a party to this court. Whether the new york Police Department has the power to detain Netanyahu is still uncertain.
When the protesters walked to the park of the United Nations building near the East River, they met more than a dozen people waving Israeli flags.
The two sides were almost in conflict, so the police separated them in time and also confined pro-Israeli people to road barriers.
In the meantime, a pro-Israel man shouted ugly words to the protesters, and the police immediately let him leave, not to escalate the situation,
Issa, a member of the New York chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement who helped organize the protest, said,
"We just want the United States to know and 'lay the red carpet' for Netanyahu.
It’s unacceptable that even if it doesn’t work right now, more people should see the suffering of Gaza.”
The response of the international community is also escalating,
At the same time that Netanyahu protested in New York, diplomats from 34 countries formed the “The Hague Group” to hold an emergency meeting in The Hague.
The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Mansour, said at the meeting: “We have no time to wait, no more, more children will be killed!”
He also cited the tragic situation in Gaza: "Children are killed, starved, orphaned, land is stolen, and territory is annexed. This is not a war, it is a massacre!"
Mansour also called on countries to support South Africa’s charges of genocide against Israel in the International Court of Justice.
Brazilian Foreign Minister Vieira also stressed that international law not only requires countries not to commit genocide, but also to prevent genocide,
"If we sit idly by and do nothing, the countries concerned may be responsible,
Now we must fulfill our obligations under the Convention on Genocide and no longer cooperate with the perpetrators of genocide.”
Countries participating in the conference include Colombia, South Africa, Qatar, Turkey, etc., many of which are traditionally neutral or have cooperated with Western countries.
Their statements also show that the international community is increasingly dissatisfied with Israel.
It is worth mentioning that the attitudes of many Western countries that had previously allied with Israel have also changed.
During the UN General Assembly, several European countries publicly recognized the State of Palestine.
Some diplomats have privately revealed that the people of many Western countries are now dissatisfied with Israel’s actions in Gaza, and the government is also under increasing pressure.
"It may have been privately coordinated before, but now it must be made public, otherwise the public will not be able to do it."
Spain, for example, announced additional humanitarian aid to Gaza last month and called on the EU to impose an arms embargo on Israel.
"Weapons can no longer flow into Gaza and become tools to harm civilians".
The controversy around Netanyahu is essentially concerned about the suffering in Gaza.
From sitting out at the United Nations, to the street protests in New York, to the protests in 34 countries, more and more people are speaking out for Gaza’s civilians.
It is not yet known when peace in Gaza will come, and at least these actions have given more people the opportunity to see the truth.
And let those who are indifferent to life know that their actions will not be tolerated.
