Rogue state’s foreign minister declares Antonio Guterres does not deserve to enter its territory
Israeli foreign minister Israel Katz has banned the United Nations’ Secretary General Antonio Guterres from entering the country, claiming that he is unfit to ‘step foot [sic] on Israeli soil’.
Israel’s issue – part of its longstanding contempt for the UN because many officials and member states refuse to agree that it can do whatever it wants but nobody can do anything back – is that Guterres, in Katz’s view, did not ‘unequivocally condemn’ Iran for what was, after all, a retaliatory strike last night for Israel’s war crimes and assassinations. Katz wrote:
Today, I have declared UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres persona non grata in Israel and banned him from entering the country. Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran’s heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil.
This is a Secretary-General who has yet to denounce the massacre and sexual atrocities committed by Hamas murderers on October 7, nor has he led any efforts to declare them a terrorist organization. A Secretary-General who gives backing to terrorists, rapists, and murderers from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and now Iran—the mothership of global terror—will be remembered as a stain on the history of the UN. Israel will continue to defend its citizens and uphold its national dignity, with or without António Guterres.
The second part of Katz’s condemnation is also nonsense – even Israeli media admit that Israel’s own military killed an ‘immense’ number of its own people on 7 October, Israel’s claims of beheaded babies have been thoroughly discredited by concrete evidence in its own records of that day’s deaths, and a UN investigation found that Israel’s claims that ‘Hamas’ committed mass rape were in some cases completely made up and in other cases entirely without evidence.
While a very few UK ‘mainstream’ media have now admitted the rape claims were unfounded, most – along with political leaders in the UK and US – continue to regurgitate those claims and Israel’s other debunked atrocity propaganda, while vowing unconditional support, no matter what, forever.
Now Israel’s panic at the thought that its lies have unravelled and its leadership faces International Criminal Court arrest warrants for their war crimes has combined with its outrage that anyone should dare do back to it what it does to them, in a remarkable show of petty petulance.

The Israeli regime consider the UN Anti Semitic and accuse the General Secretary as backing terrorists, rapists, and murderers from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and now Iran—the mothership of global terror.
That being the case would it not have been better to allow him in, then arrested him, put him on trial, then murdered him, just like they have murdered 100’s of UN workers in Gaza and in 1948 when the Stern Gang murdered Count Bernadotte [a UN official] who they saw as a puppet of the British and the Arabs and therefore a serious threat to the emerging State of Israel. Most immediately, a truce was in force, and Lehi feared that the Israeli leadership would agree to Bernadotte’s peace proposals, which it considered disastrous.
It is impossible to take the Zionists seriously, they must be put down with extreme prejudice.
Amen to that. It’s the only option with a rabid dog!
The Jewish community is wonderfully diverse but Zionists seem to be saying if you don’t support our Right Wing perspective then you are anti-semetic.
Hmm as I say the Jewish community is NOT homogenous (all the same). Many of us opposed Zionism by not Jewish people.
Palestinians & Jewish people (in 1919 about 4% of the population) used to live together in peace but then came the imposed British Government Balfour Declaration) which said Jewish people could “Have a home in Palestine” but it did not say a country or state and it did say it shouldn’t do anything to the detriment of the indigenous (Palestinian) population!
See G.D.Smith, A 3,000 Year History of Palestine, and Bernard Regan, The Balfour Declaration.
So almost every country in the world has condemned Iran has it? As of yesterday it was 24 countries. That’s 24 out of 195 (recognised by the UN)….. so Israel Katz is/was just a tad out:

I see that former Conservative MP Michael Ancram has died.
To his credit, he voted against the initial decision to replace Trident back in 2007:
“. . . and former Conservative shadow defence and foreign minister, Michael Ancram, joined the revolt…”
