U.S. Secretary of State Asks UN Security Council: "Where Is the Outrage" over Hamas' Barbaric Attack Against Israel?
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the UN Security Council on Tuesday: "We all recognize the right, and indeed the imperative, of states to defend themselves against terrorism. That's why we must unequivocally condemn Hamas' barbaric terrorist attack against Israel - babies riddled with bullets; young people hunted down and gunned down with glee; young people beheaded; families burned alive in a final embrace; parents executed in front of their children; children executed in front of their parents; and so many taken hostage in Gaza." "It must be asked - where is the outrage? Where is the revulsion? Where is the rejection? Where is the explicit condemnation of these horrors? We must affirm the right of any nation to defend itself and to prevent such horror from repeating itself. No member of this council - no nation in this entire body - could or would tolerate the slaughter of its people....This council has a responsibility to denounce member states that arm, that fund, and train Hamas or any other terrorist group that carries out such horrific acts."
