DAIA, on the Argentine vote before the UN: “I regret that my country finds allies that do not respect democratic rights”

After the Argentine vote against Israel at the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council, where he asked to investigate war crimes against Palestine, DAIA President Jorge Knoblovits called on Argentines to condemn the membership.

“I regret that my country finds allies who do not respect democratic rights, who have their meeting point to condemn Israel. I regret that my country, which adopted the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism months ago, does not comply with what it claims. All of us Argentines must condemn this membership and this alliance against Israel and in favor of a terrorist organization “Knoblovits told the site Vis a Vis.

The wrath of the Jewish community arose after President Alberto Fernández approved a rejected resolution Joseph biden (EE.UU), Angela Merkel (Germany), Emmanuel Macron (France) and Husband Draghi (Italy) but it added the voices of China, Russia, Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela.

The resolution opens a permanent investigation into allegations of human rights violations and abuses committed by Israel in the Palestinian territories. He will also analyze the recent confrontation between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Alberto Fernández’s position on the Middle East conflict surprised Washington, Paris, Rome, Berlin and Tel Aviv because During his international tours, he was far removed from the most uncompromising positions of hard Kirchnerism, which has always played alongside Hamas and aligned with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Nicolás Maduro and the Cuban regime.

La decisión del Ejecutivo podría generar un cortocircuito en las negociaciones que lleva adelante con Israel para la adquisición de vacunas contra el coronavirus y cosechar el apoyo de EE.UU para reestructurar las deudas de la Argentina con el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) y el Club from Paris.

Of Israel, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also categorically rejected the investigation and called the decision “shameful”. “This is yet another example of the unabashedly anti-Israel obsession with the UN Human Rights Council,” the prime minister said through his social media.

“Once again, an immoral automatic majority in the Council is covering up a genocidal terrorist group deliberately targeting Israeli civilians while turning Gazans into human shields. This while representing as a “responsible party” a democracy that acts legitimately to protect its citizens against thousands of indiscriminate rocket attacks, “Netanyahu added after the UN decision.

For his part, Argentine Ambassador Federico Villegas Beltrán explained that the government had condemned “all the attacks against Palestinian and Israeli civilians which occurred during the days of the conflict”. However, the text does not condemn the terrorist actions of Hamas.

The decision was taken during an urgent session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), convened at the request of more than 60 countries. Of this total, Five Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela) voted for the creation of an international commission with a broad mandate to investigate alleged human rights violations before and during the latest conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas, which ended a week ago.

The decision to create the commission was taken by Michelle Bachelet, the UN high commissioner, who said the missiles launched by Israel – which killed at least 270 Palestinians – to defend against attacks from the United Nations. Palestinian terrorist group can constitute war crimes.

The resolution received 24 votes for, including that of Argentina, 9 against and 14 countries abstained.

For his part, Benjamin Netanyahu considered that “this parody mocks international law and encourages terrorists around the world”.
