UN secretary general is courageous to speak the truth in a world of jungle! Bravo!

[hugopereira]

Guterres did a good balanced speech, Israel reaction shows how extreme they are

[piyushmeel]

What world do you live in? In a world where depriving innocent children and women of food and water. In a world where Apartheid is a crime. The nerve!

[ClubisteM]

Guterres hit a nerve of the representative of the racist state aka Israel

[carlospinto]

Guterres with balls for a change. This is absolutely criminal What’s going on in Gaza.

[antonioribeiro]

Guterres is right. Israel knows that it is not hitting Hamas but the civilian populations. Hamas is entrenched in tunnels and that means fighting on the ground and Israel fears that

[relaxingsounds]

We live in a world where the majority of the population considers inhumane bombing hospitals, churches and mosques where civilians are sheltering. We live in a world where the majority of the population considers inhumane a blockade against a region containing more than 2'000'000 humans. We live in a world where people remember Nakba.

It is fucked up when you realise that your lies and tricks don't work. Just like a narcissist when they get caught. 😅 Go Guterres!!

[RomyLeite]

I don't understand how Jewish people talk about the holocaust and are now doing the same to the Palestinians. I condemn any kind of violence, I'm against war. I find it incomprehensible that Israel doesn't choose peace.

[Booglarizemebaby]

Congratulations to the UN SG. Someone has to speak some truth to power in order to break this lethal deadlock.

[savioursammut]

In what world do YOU live Mr Ambassador, repeatedly ignoring UN resolutions and now demanding the UN Secretary to resign!

[specialandroid]

Guterres has a point. No-one recognises the Israeli occupations except Israel. So why are western leaders so single minded now. I get that what happened was terrible and that Israel has the right to defend itself and so it must. However, the people in the west are not of a single view either way - their leaders appear out of touch and just wrong. A more balanced view is needed.

[ilyasbali]

When the wolf turns into a gentle sheep. Oh my God, what Hamas did, Israel has been doing for more than 70 years, but we have not noticed all this sympathy for the Palestinians because the American and European media are not talking intentionally. This is a shame on you.

[loiaconolocurdo]

Guiterres tells the absolute truth that only those who don't want to see don't see

[stefan]

The israeli regime should stop the siege of Gaza. Already thousands of Palestinian civilians have died past week, stop this madness!

[Evan]

WW2.. 3 in between. Have some sense and don’t hurt innocent children anymore. Open air jail cannot be justified

[PaulusdeKenezy]

- In what world do you live?
- Me in a Judeocracy.

[kittypawers]

Guterres is an only normal person who speaks with compassion for everyone and doesn't take side, except a side of humanity. I respect this man with all my heart and wish all these hypocrites would shut their mouths!

[salma_techie]

You can't do anything broski. hold your horses. in 1947 UN gave you the land.. and today they gonna give it to Palistine. is the life of Israel way precious than the life of palistinians you are killing?

[shanzhang]

Why Israel dare to say those who just told the truth should resign? They seem never learn to respect other people, humanity and justice. Who gave them the courage to be as horrible as this?
