The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to the UN, Gilad Erdan, delivered a fiery denunciation of the resolution and its backers before the vote, and fed pages of the UN charter into a shredder. The Palestinian envoy, Riyad Mansour, highlighted that the vote was being held at a time when Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city that is the last haven for many people, faced attack from Israeli forces
Here’s the video of that moment. Warning: massive cringe
“Fiery denunciation” is a laughable overstatement, and the fact that they planned out this mini tantrum with a mini paper shredder is just outright comical.
A fucking mini paper shredder? It isn’t even an emotional outburst but a preconceived demonstration? They actually planned out getting that little thing for him?
It was a premeditated tantrum! Oh, my sides.
And the tiny little papers! Aww 🥺
Premeditated Tantrum would be an excellent punk rock band name.
Everything is a punk rock band name if you just try hard enough.
This would never fit on a marquee.
Its actually in the article thumbnail
When he came home he played a sad song on
“You are shredding the UN charter…with your own hands.”
As he shreds the UN charter…with his own hands.
With a tiny shredder that he calls “a mirror”. Clown show.
‘You are shredding the UN charter with your own hands!’ In between him putting each page of the charter into the shredder… smh
Deeply embarrassing, why didn’t he just tear it up?
Swing and a miss, that one!
