Zionist Microsoft software engineer Yakir Ben-Elisha served as a sniper in the special unit ‘LOTAR’ during the ongoing genocide war in Gaza.
⭕️ Only last week, Microsoft fired two employees who organised a vigil at the company’s headquarters to honor the Palestinians killed in Gaza and to call attention to Microsoft’s complicity in the genocide.
✍️ These evil corporations are only a by product of the western governments that give birth to them – hypocrisy and genocide are their primary tenets.
In this context, while the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Star declares its solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon and condemns the evil imperialist-Zionist nexus and all its defenders, it also registers its firm opposition to the Modi government’s continued export of defence equipment to Israel as part of the anti-Islamic ideological alliance fostered between Zionism and Hindutva fascism, whose foreign policy, as a junior strategic partner of US imperialism, is in line with the latter’s dictates.
Venezuela, representing the Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the United Nations, reiterated the opposition to the “politicization of human rights and divisive actions”, criticizing “Western interference in other countries’ internal affairs under the guise of human rights”.
“The human rights situation that should gather the most attention at the Committee this year is undoubtedly that of Gaza,” Fu Cong, China’s permanent representative said. He called it “double standards” to downplay the humanitarian situation in Gaza while accusing China regarding issues in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
He accused Australia and the U.S. of “using human rights as a pretext to interfere in China’s internal affairs, curb its development, and broadly suppress developing countries that adhere to an independent and autonomous foreign policy.”
Columbus died in the Spanish city of Valladolid in 1506. He had wished to be buried on Hispaniola, which is now divided into Haiti and the Dominican Republic. His remains were brought there in 1542 and were then moved to Cuba in 1795, and finally to Seville in 1898.
Sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, Columbus completed four voyages for Spain across the Atlantic Ocean. However, his conquests – and the subsequent genocide and colonisation of Indigenous people in the Americas – have been widely condemned. As a result, many states and cities in the United States have decided to rename Columbus Day, the holiday in honour of the explorer, to recognise the violence committed against Native Americans since Columbus and his crews arrived on shore.
On Sunday, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the attacks. Responding to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s earlier remarks urging the UN to “get the UNIFIL forces out of harm’s way” from southern Lebanon, Mikati said this “represents a new chapter in the enemy’s disregard for international legitimacy and its relevant resolutions.”
“Lebanon, while condemning Netanyahu’s position and the Israeli aggression against UNIFIL, reaffirms its commitment to international legitimacy, Resolution 1701, and the role of the United Nations forces in the south, and demands that the international community take a firm stand to halt Israeli aggression,” Mikati added.
Since Oct. 8, 2023, Hezbollah and the Israeli army have been exchanging fire along the Lebanon-Israel border, raising fears of a broader conflict as the war between Hamas and Israel rages in the Gaza Strip.
The leaders further called for an immediate ceasefire as well as for the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (UNSCR1701) by all parties, which is the only way to allow for Israeli and Lebanese people to return to their homes in security.
The UN Security Council Resolution 1701 was adopted in 2006, which calls for an end to hostilities between Israel and Lebanon.
Since Sept. 23, the Israeli army has been launching an unprecedented, intensive air attack on Lebanon in an escalation with Hezbollah.
Since early October, the Israeli army has been carrying out specific ground operations against Hezbollah targets near the Lebanese border, and intensifying its airstrikes and artillery shelling, especially on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the stronghold of Hezbollah.
