United Nations official clashes with Sky News host over Israel’s intentions in Middle East conflict

United Nation's special rapporteur for Palestine Francesca Albanese has engaged in a fiery clash with Sky News host Peter Stefanovic after claiming Israel’s intentions were not to destroy Hamas but to “wipe out Gaza”.
“The statements that have been made by Israeli political and military leaders, and supported by significant groups in the society, are not to eradicate or destroy Hamas' military capacity,” Ms Albanese told Mr Stefanovic.
“The military, one military leader says our goal is for destruction, not accuracy.”
Sky News host Peter Stefanovic responded by stating Israel’s leadership wanted the “destruction of Hamas” and never claimed for the destruction of Gaza.
“That’s not what they’re saying, the leadership is not saying that,” Mr Stefanovic said.

This war is about fighting the jihadi terrorist organization Hamas=Isis. After the slaughter of October 7th, there is no other way to eradicate this evil organization but to go in a full force. Israel told the civil population to leave the area at least a week in advance. Francesca Albanese is a bigot terrorist sympathizer, didn't disclosed to the UN before approved to her position, that her husband was employed by the Palestinians. She is known as a Jew hater, and by the many remarks hear, one can see that she brought many of her followers, jihadi terrorist supporter themselves.

exacto: La ONU considera que Palestina es un territorio ocupado por Israel y hace ya tiempo que le exige que se retire de allí, deje de expandir los asentamientos ilegales y favorezca la creación de un Estado palestino. Ni siquiera la primera de las resoluciones, la 181, aprobada el 29 de noviembre de 1947 se ha cumplido. Esta resolución dividió la región en dos Estados: uno árabe y otro judío. A día de hoy todavía no existe un Estado palestino. A los judíos se les asignó el 54% del territorio, a pesar de que sólo representaban en ese momento el 30% de la población de Palestina. A Jerusalén, ciudad clave para ambas culturas, se le otorgó un estatus internacional. Netanyahu forma un gobierno de emergencia con la oposición ante la guerra con Hamás La resolución 194, aprobada en diciembre de 1948, establece que los refugiados palestinos que fueron expulsados de sus territorios tras la creación del Estado de Israel en mayo de ese año tenían -y aún tienen- el derecho a regresar a sus hogares. Otra importante resolución que ha sido ignorada por Israel es la 242, impulsada por la ONU en noviembre de 1967, seis meses después de la Guerra de los Seis Días. La resolución 242 exige la retirada del ejército israelí de los territorios ocupados. Adoptada por el Consejo de Seguridad el 22 de marzo de 1979, la resolución 446 declara que ilegales la creación de asentamientos por parte de Israel en los territorios palestinos ocupados desde 1967. El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, Unión Europea y Cooperación en funciones, José Manuel Albares, durante una entrevista en Madrid, a 10 de octubre de 2023. Exteriores confirma la muerte de la española Maya Villalobo, desaparecida en Israel La resolución 478, de agosto de 1980, fue una respuesta de la ONU a la aprobación por parte del Parlamento de Israel de la Ley de Jerusalén, que proclamó que la ciudad "entera y unificada" era la capital de Israel. A través de esta resolución, la ONU respondió que la ley aprobada por el Parlamento israelí era contraria al derecho internacional. En diciembre de 1992, la resolución 799 del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU condenó "enérgicamente la deportación de cientos de civiles palestinos efectuada por Israel" y exigió "el retorno inmediato y sin riesgo de todos los deportados a los territorios ocupados". En marzo de 2002 se dio luz verde a la resolución 1397 del Consejo de Seguridad. Apoyaba "el concepto de una región en que dos Estados, Israel y Palestina, vivan uno junto al otro dentro de fronteras seguras y reconocidas". También exigía "el cese inmediato de todos los actos de violencia, incluyendo todos los actos de terrorismo, provocación, incitación y destrucción". Visto que ninguna de las resoluciones era atendida por Israel, el Consejo de Seguridad volvió a insistir en noviembre de 2003 con la número 1515. En ese texto, el Consejo de Seguridad recordaba la validez de todas las resoluciones anteriores en cuanto a la situación de Oriente Medio y, en especial, de las resoluciones 242, 338 y 1397. Pese a la reiteración del mensaje, Israel sigue haciendo caso omiso. Por eso, la resolución 2334 fue adoptada por el Consejo de Seguridad el 23 de diciembre de 2016, para reafirmar que "el establecimiento de asentamientos por parte de Israel en el territorio palestino ocupado desde 1967, incluida Jerusalén Oriental, no tiene validez legal" y expresar una "grave preocupación por el hecho de que la continuación de las actividades de asentamiento israelíes están poniendo en peligro la viabilidad de la solución biestatal basada en las fronteras de 1967". Algo que Israel no va a hacer ni parece que vaya a hacer nunca.

What political and military leaders says about their intent is important because *intent* is required to be proven for being found guilty of genocide by the international criminal court. That's why the Zionists in Western politics and media always claim "it's against Hamas". Even the Wikipedia page is labelled "Israel-Hamas war" instead of the correct term "Israel-Gaza war" like all previous Israel-Gaza wars. The current genocide is unique in two ways: It is broadcast live on television and social media and it is announced by various political and military leadership of Israel. Simultaneously, it is denied by Western politics and mass media.

[@firthm2]

Ummm, where have you been the last 17 years? Gaza has been under seige, whereby Israel (and Egypt to a lesser extent), has totally controlled its airspace, coastline, telecommunications, water supply, fuel supply, and all imports and exports. Furthermore, the removal of the Jewish settlers gave Israel the convenience of bombing Gaza whenever it wants without having to worry about collateral damage of Jews. Basically Gaza became an open-air prison and a slaughterhouse. The Israeli disengagement was not a recognition of independence or sovereignty of Gaza, but in fact a further move to isolate the Arab population, leave them at the whims of Hamas domestically, and tighten Israeli military control around the whole Strip. The Israeli government is the first to admit this. This system of inhumane control clearly backfired, however, considering what happened on October 7. The kettle of rage boiled over.
