On Gaza in UNGA Canada Amendment Fails So No Hamas as Bob Rae Blocks Press as Guterres

UN GATE, Oct 27 – On October 7 amid Gaza - Israel, Inner City Press heard that Brazil claimed it has taking the lead to schedule a Sunday UN Security Council meeting. Nothing in email - and it emerged that the Brazil Mission has *blocked* Inner City Press on X, photo here

  On October 17 despite UNSC and UN censorship, Inner City Press reported on Brazil's doomed draft. And on October 18, as predicted, it failed, with the US vetoing, and Russia and the UK abstaining.

On October 25, another double failure, with a China and Russia double veto of the US draft, and nine abstentions on Russia's. Mansour praised Guterres, whose arrogance (he won't respond to calls to resign from a single member state, echo of Boutros) is becoming wider known- as he bans Press.

On October 26 in a UNGA meeting chaired by Dennis Francis, who refuses Press questions on his funding by Qatar, China, Saudi, Kuwait and now Morocco, Iran said the US will "not be spared from this fire." Then he strolled back to the hotel on 43rd Street.

To the pending GA resolution, Canada has a proposed amendment on Hamas - while Canadian ambassador Bob Rae blocks Inner City Press on X.

On October 27, the Canada amendment failed, 88-55-23.  The Jordan resolution, without the Hamas language passed amid applause, 120-14-45. A fish rots from the head.
