Protesters in Tel Aviv call on Germany to cease arms exports
Demonstrators have gathered in front of Germany’s embassy in Tel Aviv to demand the German government halt arms exports to Israel.
At the entrance of the embassy, protesters held signs reading slogans such as, “Stop arming Israel”, “Don’t you have enough blood on your hands?” and “For once, be on the right side of history.” They also chanted, “Germany, you can’t hide, you’re complicit in genocide.”
Israeli police removed the protesters by force and detained five individuals.
UN chief to call out Israel for violations against children
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will add Israel to a global list of offenders for committing violations against children.
Israel’s envoy to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said he was “utterly shocked and disgusted by this shameful decision”. He added that Israel’s military is the “most moral army in the world”.
The global list is included in a report on children and armed conflict that is due to be submitted to the UN Security Council on June 14.
I don't think Israel knows what morals are.

UN on ‘blacklist of history’, Netanyahu says
Netanyahu says the UN has put itself on the “blacklist of history” after the organisation added Israel to its list of global offenders for violations against children.
“The UN put itself on the blacklist of history today when it joined the supporters of the Hamas murderers,” Netanyahu wrote on X. “The [Israeli army] is the most moral army in the world, and no delusional decision by the UN will change that.”
38 children died on Oct 7 (horrifying) Estimated 14,000 children have been bombed and burned to death in Gaza, the rest suffering from trauma, malnutrition and starvation. Estimated 17,000 orphans walking around trying to survive. Compared to the IDF, Hamas are saints... But that's a really really really low bar to set.
No, the IDF is the most despicable, barbarian, cruel, racist, cowardly army in the world. Other armies act just as bad but don't go around touting their 'morality' to hide the truth.

The Israeli army told The AP that Israeli civilians lit Palestinian property on fire Thursday evening. The army said there was a violent confrontation between Israeli civilians and Palestinians with mutual rock-throwing, and the army dispersed them by firing shots in the air.
