Seventeen times, this smug bitch was asked.

"You spoke your truth under oath 17x. And the world heard it."

I believe each of them were asked repeatedly. Because those asking the questions were so astonished that this wasn't a simple slam dunk "yes, calling for killing Jews violates our code of conducct" answer. There were clips posted and those who asked the questions had a severe case of "WTF face" when hearing those bullshit responses.

That should have been the easiest question of the day, slam dunk.

There are only two answers: 1) Yes or 2) No, but it will by COB on Friday.

I would have liked a follow up of "please name the other groups of people for which calls for genocide of does not violate your code of conduct?"

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), chairs the House Committee on Education & the Workforce. Two days after a fiery hearing with three prominent university presidents, the committee announced it has opened an investigation into Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania for their responses to campus antisemitism that came from the committee’s hearing. She warned that other inquiries could follow

“Committee members have deep concerns with their leadership and their failure to take steps to provide Jewish students the safe learning environment they are due under law,” Foxx said.

“The disgusting targeting and harassment of Jewish students is not limited to these institutions, and other universities should expect investigations as well, as their litany of similar failures has not gone unnoticed,” Foxx said.

The committee is planning to investigate the “learning environment” at the three universities, along with their policies and disciplinary procedures. The probe will include “substantial document requests” and subpoenas.

While clearing out Hamas strongholds in Gaza, Israeli forces stumbled upon the credit card of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

It’s a Visa card, and the man reportedly put some significant charges on the card. Though expired, it showcases what we all know about the terror group: the upper crust has accumulated inordinate amounts of wealth at the expense of the civilian population. What do you expect from an administration that spent 17 years building an intricate network of terror tunnels for its forces but not a single bomb shelter for civilians?

It’s a point that even Arab reporters picked up on when the war between Hamas and Israel erupted after the October 7 attacks. And this behavior is not unique to Hamas; any authoritarian group or leader in history has screwed over its citizenry. Haniyeh spent two years' wages for the ordinary Gazan on just one receipt.

But what’s a little infuriating about the discovery is that we have credit card companies wary of American gun owners but willing to extend lines of credit to genocidal Islamic terrorists

FAFO


The United States has vetoed a United Nations resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza.

The resolution put forth on Friday was backed by almost all other Security Council members and dozens of other nations.

Supporters of the call for a ceasefire called it a terrible day and warned of more civilian deaths and destruction as the Israel-Hamas war goes into its third month.

The vote in the 15-member council was 13-1, with the United Kingdom abstaining.

The United States' isolated stand reflected a growing fracture between Washington and some of its closest allies over Israel's monthslong bombardment of Gaza.

France and Japan were among those supporting the call for a cease-fire.

In a vain effort to press the Biden administration to drop its opposition to calling for a halt to the fighting, the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey were all in Washington on Friday. But their meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken took place only after the U.N. vote.

Along with the vote, the Arab diplomats' mission served to shift responsibility more squarely onto the United States for protecting Israel from growing demands to stop the airstrikes that are killing thousands of Palestinian civilians.

'What is the message we are sending Palestinians if we cannot unite behind a call to halt the relentless bombardment of Gaza?' United Arab Emirates deputy ambassador Mohamed Abushaha asked after the vote. 'Indeed, what is the message we are sending civilians across the world who may find themselves in similar situations?'

U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood called the resolution 'imbalanced' and criticized the council after the vote for its failure to condemn Hamas´ Oct. 7 attack on Israel in which the militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, or to acknowledge Israel´s right to defend itself. He declared that halting military action would allow Hamas to continue to rule Gaza and 'only plant the seeds for the next war.'

'Hamas has no desire to see a durable peace, to see a two-state solution,' Wood said before the vote. 'For that reason, while the United States strongly supports a durable peace, in which both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security, we do not support calls for an immediate cease-fire.'

Israel´s military campaign has killed more than 17,400 people in Gaza - 70% of them women and children - and wounded more than 46,000, according to the Palestinian territory´s Health Ministry, which says many others are trapped under rubble. The ministry does not differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths.

Abushahab, the UAE diplomat, said before the vote that the resolution, which his country sponsored, had garnered nearly 100 co-sponsors in less than 24 hours, a reflection of global support for efforts to end the war and save Palestinian lives.

After the vote, he expressed deep disappointment at the U.S. veto and warned that the Security Council is growing isolated and 'appears untethered' from its mandate to ensure international peace and security.

Ambassador Nicolas De Rivière of France, a veto-wielding permanent council member who supported the resolution, lamented its lack of unity and pleaded 'for a new, immediate and lasting humanitarian truce that should lead to a sustainable cease-fire.'

Russia´s deputy U.N. ambassador Dmitry Polyansky called the vote 'one of the darkest days in the history of the Middle East' and accused the United States of issuing 'a death sentence to thousands, if not tens of thousands more civilians in Palestine and Israel, including women and children.'

He said 'history will judge Washington´s actions' in the face of what he called a 'merciless Israeli bloodbath.'

The council called the emergency meeting to hear from Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who for the first time invoked Article 99 of the U.N. Charter, which enables a U.N. chief to raise threats he sees to international peace and security. He warned of an 'humanitarian catastrophe' in Gaza and urged the council to demand a humanitarian cease-fire.

Guterres said he raised Article 99 - which hadn´t been used at the U.N. since 1971 - because 'there is a high risk of the total collapse of the humanitarian support system in Gaza.' The U.N. anticipates this would result in 'a complete breakdown of public order and increased pressure for mass displacement into Egypt,' he warned.

Gaza is at 'a breaking point,' he said, and desperate people are at serious risk of starvation.

Guterres said Hamas´ brutality against Israelis on Oct. 7 'can never justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.'

'While indiscriminate rocket fire by Hamas into Israel, and the use of civilians as human shields, are in contravention of the laws of war, such conduct does not absolve Israel of its own violations,' he stressed.

The U.N. chief detailed the 'humanitarian nightmare' Gaza is facing, citing intense, widespread and ongoing Israeli attacks from air, land and sea that reportedly have hit 339 education facilities, 26 hospitals, 56 health care facilities, 88 mosques and three churches.

Over 60% of Gaza´s housing has reportedly been destroyed or damaged, some 85% of the population has been forced from their homes, the health system is collapsing, and 'nowhere in Gaza is safe,' Guterres said.

Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian U.N. ambassador, told the council that Israel´s objective is 'the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip' and 'the dispossession and forcible displacement of the Palestinian people.'

'If you are against the destruction and displacement of the Palestinian people, you have to be in favor of an immediate cease-fire,' Mansour said. 'When you refuse to call for a cease-fire, you are refusing to call for the only thing that can put an end to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.'

After the vote, he called the U.S. veto 'disastrous' and said it was 'a terrible day for the Security Council.'

'We reject this result, and we´ll continue resorting to every legitimate avenue to stop these abhorrent atrocities,' Mansour said.

But Israel´s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant thanked the United States for its 'bold leadership.'

'A cease-fire is handing a prize to Hamas, dismissing the hostages held in Gaza, and signaling terror groups everywhere,' he said in a statement. 'Stand with Israel in our mission. We are fighting for our future, and we are fighting for the free world.'

In Washington, Jordan´s top diplomat told reporters that the killings of Palestinian civilians in Israel´s bombardment and siege of Gaza were war crimes and threatened to destabilize the region, the U.S. and the world for years to come.

'If people are not seeing it here, we are seeing it,' Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said, adding: 'We´re seeing the challenges that we are are facing talking to our people. They are all saying we´re doing nothing. Because despite all our efforts, Israel is continuing these massacres.'

Amnesty International´s Secretary General Agnès Callamard criticized the U.S. for continuing to transfer munitions to the Israeli government 'that contribute to the decimation of entire families.'

And Louis Charbonneau, U.N. director at Human Rights Watch, said that by providing weapons and diplomatic cover to Israel 'as it commits atrocities, including collectively punishing the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza, the U.S. risks complicity in war crimes.'

Hey United Nations, how about you fuck off and mind your own beeswax.

I shouldn’t be but I just continue to be surprisingly flabbergasted by the utter level of sheer stupidity and lack of foresight by people in positions of authority. Good lord how depressing that is.

Real people with real competencies are probably busy being really productive. Leaving shit for brains people to occupy these positions.

Or if you, the majority of the members of the security council, want to slow the blood shed how about a memo on some hotel stationery that advocates the return of all the hostages RTFN, and the delivery of all the deceased as well.

And France can FOAD. They have a grim responsibility for the shape the Middle East is in.

What stikes me about these university presidents’ contextual response is the complete failure to recognize the context of the question being asked. In their attempt to sound reasonable, they have exposed themselves to be incapable of applying reason.

IN Germany's invasion of France, the common phrase was "Please do not hurt me!, take my wife."

Perhaps any nation that doesn’t support murder, rape, and terrorism should be speaking out for the eradication of said terrorists before mentioning a cease fire. I hope Israel keeps doing what they are doing and gives the middle finger to any nation that isn’t on their side in this.

The first thing the Biden administration has ever done right. Now let's hope they don't cave.

Now that the US has vetoed the UN ceasefire resolution, Hamas is seeing the handwriting on the wall.

And, "too late"? Bitch, it's already too late.
