Israel now finds itself alongside terrorist-designated entities like ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram as far as the UN is concerned, prompting Netanyahu to fume and rage against the UN for siding with supporters of Hamas.
With the official Palestinian children death toll in Gaza now exceeding 15,500, the UN considers Israel to be a terrorist threat. The new UN designation was confirmed by Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan, who says he received official notification from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
"This is simply outrageous and wrong," Erdan wrote in the caption to a video of him speaking via telephone in condemnation of the UN move.
"I responded to the shameful decision and said that our army is the most moral in the world. The only one being blacklisted is the Secretary-General who incentivizes and encourages terrorism and is motivated by hatred towards Israel."
Responding to Erdan's statements later that same day, Guterres spokesman Stephane Dujarric said a UN official called the Israeli envoy as "a courtesy afforded to countries that are newly listed on the annexe" of the annual "Children in Armed Conflict" report.
"It is done to give those countries a heads up and avoid leaks," Dujarric told the press, adding that the official report will be presented to the UN Security Council on June 14, followed by its publishing a few days after that.

Dujarric would go on in a statement to criticize Erdan for recording and leaking the news via social media – see below – which has apparently never been done by a country that is added to the UN blacklist.
"Ambassador Erdan's video recording of that phone call, and the partial release of that recording on Twitter, is shocking and unacceptable – and frankly something I've never seen in my 24 years serving this organization."

The Palestinian Authority is thrilled by the addition of Israel to the UN's blacklist for human rights abuses as the Jewish state belongs on "a list of parties engaging in violations against children." This includes maiming, sexually violating and killing children at schools and hospitals.
Some Palestinian rights advocates were previously upset that Israel was not on the list alongside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Syria, Haiti and Russia.
Countries that find themselves on the UN blacklist could face arms sales restrictions in addition to the public shame of being found on the blacklist in the first place.
"Now, faced with the catastrophe in Gaza that the world sees with its naked eyes with the genocide that specifically targets children and women, the UN secretary general no longer has excuses not to place Israel on the blacklist," commented senior Palestinian official Riad Malki, who welcomed the decision.
Since October 7, more than 36,700 Palestinians, many of them women and children, are dead as a result of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

That's rich coming from the same UN that tried to kill us all with the BIOATTACK out of Wuhan, China, UN, while working with the Chinese Hussein Obama and the NWO Glboalists. The "UN" then followed up that attack with the BIOWEAPON Shots attack. Who is the real terrorist group?

Hopefully the shock of the announcement will begin to lessen the kneejerk reaction of the misled Christian Zionists when faced with criticism of modern Israel and jews whom are neither biblical Israel nor God's chosen people respectively but rather a Rothschild & Balfour creation populated with Talmudic Pharisees who were repudiated by Jesus Christ as being sons of the devil even though they are of the seed of Abraham, John 8:37-47. “Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, ‘And to seeds,’ as referring to many, but rather to one, ‘And to your seed,’ which is Christ.” Galatians 3:16.
The Word of Christ, John 8:37. I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
