Yeah, like I don’t like what Hamas did or what they believe in aside from decolonization, but holy fuck Israel. Collective punishment is a war crime

I hope the UN does something about this, like call for restraint, or caution against escalation. Maybe they could call for a vote to condemn violence against civilians. That ought to do the trick.
deeply distressed but won't do a damn thing about it
oh my.. that will surely make a difference to the 2.3 million people held captive by the Israeli state
Don't pretend like Hamas are the good guys.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 9 (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Monday he was "deeply distressed" by an announcement that Israel will initiate a complete siege of the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas over the weekend.
"I am deeply distressed by today's announcement that Israel will initiate a complete siege of the Gaza Strip, nothing allowed in – no electricity, food, or fuel," Guterres said.
Guterres said the situation in Gaza was "extremely dire" before the surprise assault by the militant group, adding that it will "only deteriorate exponentially."
"I urge all sides and the relevant parties to allow United Nations access to deliver urgent humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians trapped and helpless in the Gaza Strip," he said while appealing to the international community to mobilize immediate humanitarian support.
Hamas gunmen burst across the fence from Gaza on Saturday, killing Israeli soldiers and civilians and taking dozens of hostages back to the coastal enclave.
Israel responded with its heaviest bombardment of Gaza and could be contemplating a ground assault on the territory it withdrew from nearly two decades ago after 38 years of occupation.

He and his pathetic organization can fuck off then.
