New Delhi: The Israel Palestine Conflict is an old conflict and has been going on for decades. The two nations have never been very comfortable with each other but the conflict turned into a full-fledged war on October 7, 2023 when Hamas fired 5000 rockets from the Gaza Strip to Israel, killing many. It is then, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war against Palestine and Gaza and started retaliation attacks. Till date, the attacks have not stopped and do not intend to stop anytime soon. The war has caused massive destruction and devastation of both life and property; the entire world has been disturbed seeing the atrocities endured by the civilians and their poor conditions. Amid the ongoing Israel Hamas War, resignation of the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has been demanded. Know more about it..
The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) has expressed outrage over the comments made by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres where he seemed to blame Israel for the October 7 Hamas massacre that led to 1,400 Israelis being brutally murdered and more than 200 in captivity. The nonprofit has demanded the UN chief’s resignation over his remarks. The Combat Antisemitism Movement in a statement said that it was unbelievable and unconscionable as how out of touch with reality Guterres was.
CAM CEO Sacha Roytman Dratwa said: “Over the last couple of weeks, our generation has had a chance to reflect and better understand how the Holocaust was allowed to happen by the silence and complicity of global decision-makers and opinion-shapers in the face of Nazi-style atrocities. The fact that the so-called leader of the most prominent international institution has engaged in victim-blaming shows how he clearly has different rules for Jews among all the other peoples of the world.”
Sacha Roytman Dratwa further says, “He sees the blood of masses of Jews spilled and can only think of the political ramifications. Would he have said that the Holocaust didn’t happen in a vacuum, which is a repugnant but sadly increasing global sentiment? These comments are just a thin whisper away and hold the Jewish people uniquely responsible for their own massacres, rapes, beheadings, and kidnappings.” CAM joins the growing number of people and institutions calling for Gutteres’ immediate resignation as UN Secretary-General, she said.
