UNGA General Debate Day 2
This one may take you straight to the speeches, but the previous one has the sequence of events.
And here is a YouTube if you only want to let the speeches play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTiapR-CUlI
So far there is nothing new, excepting perhaps The Syrian Arab Republic who complained that Israel is attacking them. https://gadebate.un.org/en/81/syrian-arab-republic
We had Latvia and Romania and both are straight up Trump, Europe is being attacked, there are drones in their airspace, Russia is bad, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and cannot leave the NPT, Hamas must be obliterated, they are a little ‘concerned’ about what is happening in the West Bank, but nobody mentions Israel and the UN must do its job because it is not.
We now have Burundi and the tone has changed. African Solutions for African problems and the water problems and an Africa that is master of its own destiny. The UN must be more representative of Africa and a better representation overall – a global partnership found not on dependency. Multilateralism.
Next Pezeskian from Iran.
The United States described us as terrorists. We are the victims of terrorism. I come from an Iran where our leader was assassinated, they bombed a school with weapons used by the United States and Israel. A sportshall with weapons with multiple warhead martyred the children. We defend ourselves with utmost strength. Our people stood steadfast and we responsded but we did not hit civilians. They hit schools, hospitals, Israel commits assassinations in Gaza .. 80,000 murdered, they are committing genocide. Are we the source for instability? Are those that commit crimes the protectors of peace and stability?. None of the international laws have been abided to. For 200 Years, Iran has not attacked anyone, but now we are labelled terrorists? The path that we have chosen is power to defend ourselves. Our people have been in the streets every night.
I’ll find the transcript as this is going too fast. This is from the heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTiapR-CUlI
