UN GATE, Nov 12 – Amid Gaza the UN Security Council's failure continued on Friday, November 10. On November 12, UNSG Antonio Guterres on CNN - to defend himself. He complained: "when this is commented by the Israeli government or the ambassador, whatever, they put the first part of the sentence."
He was dismissive of the Saudi bombing of children on Yemen which he covered up at the time: "If you remember, the polemics about the uproar about the Saudi bombardments in Yemen. 600 people in one year." Yeah, polemics.
Meanwhile, despite a Friday morning protest at the publicly-funded mansion UNSG Antonio Guterres lives in on Sutton Place, not a single one of the correspondents let into his spokesman Stephane Dujarric's scam "press briefing" asked for a response to the protest. Not one.
Inner City Press was banned from the "press" briefing, even by WebEx, and its written questions were not answered.
After the first round of speeches in the UNSC Friday, there were no replies, and at the stakeout outside the Council, from which Inner City Press is banned by Guterres and Melissa Fleming, no questions at all. A fish rots from the head. Today's UN is corrupt.
