UN GATE, Oct 27 –
On October 7 amid Gaza -
Israel, Inner City Press heard
that Brazil claimed it has
taking the lead to schedule a
Sunday UN Security Council
meeting. Nothing in email -
and it emerged that the Brazil
Mission has *blocked* Inner
City Press on X, photo here
On October
17 despite UNSC and UN
censorship, Inner City Press
reported on Brazil's doomed
draft. And on October 18, as
predicted, it failed, with the
US vetoing, and Russia and the
UK abstaining.
On October 25,
another double failure, with a
China and Russia double veto
of the US draft, and nine
abstentions on Russia's.
Mansour praised Guterres,
whose arrogance (he won't
respond to calls to resign
from a single member state,
echo of Boutros) is becoming
wider known- as he bans Press.
On October 26 in
a UNGA meeting chaired by
Dennis Francis, who refuses
Press questions on his funding
by Qatar, China, Saudi, Kuwait
and now Morocco, Iran said the
US will "not be spared from
this fire." Then he strolled
back to the hotel on 43rd
Street.
To the pending GA
resolution, Canada has a
proposed amendment on Hamas -
while Canadian ambassador Bob
Rae blocks Inner City Press on
X.
On October 27,
the Canada amendment failed,
88-55-23. The Jordan
resolution, without the Hamas
language passed amid applause,
120-14-45. A fish rots from
the head.
