Israel’s Permanent Representative to the United
Nations Gilad Erdan has termed Hamas as “modern-day Nazis” adding that the
terrorist group is not seeking a solution to the conflict. He said Hamas is
interested in the annihilation of the Jewish people.
While addressing the UN Security Council meeting on
the Israel-Hamas war, he said, “Hamas are modern-day Nazis. From their
appalling inhumane violence to identical genocidal ideologies, Hamas is not
seeking a solution to the conflict. They are not interested in dialogue. The
only solution Hamas is interested in is the final solution, the annihilation of
the Jewish people and may I remind my colleagues, they are rulers of Gaza and
not you.”
Gilad Erdan stressed that the world is “deafeningly
silent” just like in the rise of Nazism. Hamas has been abusing Palestinians
for the past 16 years, murdered hundreds of Palestinians when it took power in
Gaza in 2007.
“They threw them off rooftops. They used Palestinians
as human shields, building terror bases under hospitals and missile launchers
next to schools. What do you expect us to do? They hoard medical supplies, food
and fuel for themselves when these resources could benefit their people,” said Erdan.
“…They also deleted the tweet that was telling you
about it. Their leaders live in luxury in Doha and Istanbul. They don’t even
live in the Gaza Strip, their leaders, as their people, live in poverty. Hamas
ISIS terrorists are operating inside and under hospitals, including Shifa
Hospital, which houses their command center. I reiterate it,” continued the Permanent
Representative.
“Hamas is preventing Gazans from leaving an active war
zone by heading south. Hamas is holding roughly half a million litres of fuel
right now as we speak next to Rafah Crossing. Everything can be checked in any
discussion about lack of fuel, your demands should be directed at Hamas.
Israel has approved dozens of daily, more than dozens
of daily trucks of humanitarian supplies, including food, water and medical
equipment. But, Israel refuses to supply the enemy, Hamas, with any aid in
accordance with international law,” he added.
Gilad Erdan said some of the members of the UNSC have
not learned anything in the past 80 years. He and his team would wear yellow
stars until the UNSC condemned the atrocities of Hamas and demanded the
immediate release of Israeli hostages.
“Today after innocent Jewish babies were burned alive.
This council is still silent. Some member States have learned nothing in the
past 80 years. Some of you have forgotten why this body was established. So, I
will remind you. From this day on, each time you look at me, you will remember
what staying silent in the face of evil means,” stated Gilad Erdan.
“Just like my grandparents and the grandparents of
millions of Jews, from now on, my team and I will wear Yellow stars. We will
wear this star until you wake up and condemn the atrocities of Hamas and demand
the immediate release of our hostages. We walk with a yellow star as a pride, a
reminder that we swore to fight back to defend ourselves. Never again is now,”
he added.
