I cannot believe that someone who tells the truth about Israel to this extent is still breathing. Tragically, the majority of the world have zero clues about how the self-serving policies for Israel affect them. Some to a very small extent - and others that are just incalculable.

[@ronaldshiffman9171]

Come on. Every nation is self-serving. Israel is a light to the nations. A great country.

Than don't believe it: maybe he's just an AI.

Guy Lemay: Never forget the USS Liberty!

[@andersfuchs9209]

spot On!

[@Walker-ld3dn]

I wonderful how much more money and how many wars the U.S. can provide for Israel?

[@guliver2559]

they give no oney but weapons, inform yourself.

[@G8rquest]

@@guliver2559 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it the American's tax dollars, run through the Pentagon to contractors to produce the weapons given to "Them", at issue here. Moreover, is this action considered payment in any way to "Them"? Adjust your scope.

[@wyesjcbnwr8606]

what a nightmare. Thank you for sharing this information with us

[@lidiastrino4365]

Great speech, valid in 2023!

[@paulwittekind]

If they declare Israel an Apartheid State.
America will veto it.
Which UN did you work at again?

[@mrs.hancock4124]

Europeans in Europe and America are occupied by these hostile foreign internationalists. We’re all no different than Palestinians.

[@peterkinasz6693]

We're still waiting for trump "deal of the century" in resolving the palestinian-israeli conflict. All we hear is it will happen "soon...real soon". In trump-speak SOON=NEVER?

[@tigersspeaks5779]

I'd have preferred more factual analysis of the Israeli prioritization of the UN than editorializing in favor of the UN, but this was still somewhat informative. I'd like to explore this relation more

[@paulwittekind]

Nope This is WW3 already.

[@Yourismouter]

haha! funny speech, I have to get Ian Williams's book on the UN, although he shouldn't leave out Canada, New Zealand, France, the EU, Australia and the UK's continued support all the time for Israel but we need to have Mark Curtis, John Pilger, Yasser Louati and Yves Engler on a panel for that :)

[@aadrianlee]

America needs to go back to its Christian roots 😎👍

[@discombobulated.6220]

💯👍👍👍👍👍🌷.

[@Kwame-yw9kz]

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[@hussinsaid4716]

Israeli's respect the UN law but not the resolutioni, this is UN hypocracy.

[@exmar2331]

How wrong you were

[@doctorzzz100]

Delusional

[@tomiapple9848]

😘🇮🇱😘

[@ronaldshiffman9171]

Ian Williams, who are you? God chose the Hebrews to give His laws to on Mt. Sinai. You would think that if God chose the Hebrews, maybe you should not disparage them.
