the story of my argument with one antonio guterres

 (two Antonio Guterreses would have been excessive)

Antonio Guterres holds the title of Secretary General at the organisation styled the United Nations.

Following last year's attack on Israel from the Gaza city Statelet by the Iranian proxy army styled Hamas and Israel's robust pursuit of the Hamas terror army back to its bolt holes in the Gaza Strip, Mr Guterres remarked that the Hamas attack "did not take place in a vacuum."

By this I suggest he was morally equating the approximately 1200 Israelis tortured murdered in the Hamas attack and the approximately 250 Israelis kidnapped by Hamas, with their murderers and kidnappers.

I would consider Mr Guterres incorrect in this moral equivalency.

In October of this year Mr Guterres attended a summit hosted by the Russian government which was being held to promote a relatively new alliance between thug States Russia and China, along with aspirational, modernising Third World States Brazil and India.

It might be remarked that the governments of Brazil and India are seriously letting their countries down in consorting with Presidents Putin of Russia and Xi of China.

Without any apparent sense of irony, Mr Guterres consorted freely on Russian soil with surely the world's two foremost piratical mass murderers outside of the Caliphate, to wit Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

Bear in mind that Mr Guterres attended the summit and cooed sweet words to an audience of international thug pirates even as his host the resovietising dictator Vladimir Putin continued Russia's two year long invasion and daily and nightly bombings of Ukrainian towns and cities.

I find the behaviour of Mr Guterres in associating the UN with a Putin event, distasteful.

This week Mr Guterres has been speaking at an international conference on the subject of Climate Change.

Hint: There won't be many people at the conference who critique the notion that climate change is real.

It's for those complicit in the fiction.

But my reservations about Mr Guterres' attendance do not relate to the shenanigans of climate change.

I am displeased only because the conference was held in Azerbaijan and his attendance at any event in that country is as gross an impropriety as his glad handing of Putin and Xi in Russia a few weeks earlier or his equating last year of Israelis targeted by Iran to their persecutors.

For the government of Azerbaijan recently completed the invasion and annexation of Nagorno Karbakh a region it claims to own, and followed up its invasion with the forcible expulsion of the enclave's ancient inhabitants, more than a hundred thousand Armenians.

The Armenians call the land Artsakh.

I am calling on Antonio Guterres to consider his position.
