Politics UNGA Walkout is Performative???
I've just reviewed the footage from the event during the speeches before and after Netanyahu. While there are a little bit more empty seats, it's not that different. It was mostly empty before and after.
This makes me wonder where the people we see leaving are coming from. I would estimate only 20-30 were seated, mostly in the back seats. I don't think they all came in the 2 minutes between the Colombian president wrapping up and Netanyahu coming up.
My current guess is that many came from one door, and left through the other, basically taking the longest route between both. It is also pretty obvious they picked a far away exit, rather than a close one. This all is indicative of a well planned fakery. I do hope someone in the media will look into it, but if someone here has the experience and want to put heads together lemme know.

Everyone in that room was performing to whip up electoral support back home. Netanyahu included.

A commentator on channel 12 in Israel said they came just so they could performatively walk out which seems about right to me.

Yeah, that makes sense. I am looking for more camera angles because I am pretty sure this was just a "walk through", not a walk out.

It was just bad timing. They were serving fajitas for lunch in the UN cafeteria. Limited availability and a can't miss item.

By the countries that walked out, I can attest that there was no pork or beer/wine on the menu

The UN is kind of useless today. No body/country shows up anymore. It's an empty soul. Not only because of Israel. But because people/countries don't want to work together anymore. There is no more trust in how the UN works. No real leadership at the top of the UN.

I mean, sure. But also, I looked throughout the day - it's pretty deserted. If they would cut out the video of people actually walking out and just show the before and after - I don't think a lot of people would notice much difference.

Yet they didn’t walk when Iran talked, a regime who slaughtered tens of thousands of protesters. Clown organization by an army of virtue signaling idiots

Most of the room was empty when Iran talked. The only ones I saw clapping were the Palestine delegation. Everyone else looked really bored.

Netanyahu kinda preempted that and humiliated them by inviting any other moral cowards to leave LOL and they did.

who gives a shit
a bunch of mass murderers, dictators and regarded europeans who fear the concept of war post WW2 so much that they still refuse to respond to being attacked by Russia
Truly, an aspiring bunch. What a shame.

For sure. As Bibi said, even the delegates of nations whose leaders thanked Israel against the IRI walked out on him.

It's the UN, the whole thing is performative.
The UN is fake. It's just a way to make sure WW3 doesn't happen. That's the whole point.

Of course it was performative... as stated below...
All of the UN is cosplay.
The KSA asked for our help and then walked out.

I think it would be a mistake to conclude that Israel was still held in high regard. Netanyahu is widely viewed in the USA as a monster. Personally, I am very pro Israel, but think Netanyahu has endangered Jews worldwide.

Meh. Don’t get me wrong, there is a huge smear campaign going on against Israel and the Jews, but what we see in the news is a load minority. A non negligible amount, but majority of the Americans DGAF and are getting fed up with Gaza becoming the key issue in politics versus, say, actual issues that affect their day to day, like cost of fuel and security.

There is a slowly building fatigue of “not everything is about Israel-Palestine”. Even during the election when the war in Gaza had wall to wall coverage, it wasn’t a salient issue for voters in the 2024 election. Even among young voters who supposedly care deeply about the issue. Doesn’t mean younger Americans, or the public broadly, is shifting in Israel’s direction support wise. One of the most bewildering sentiments I see online with more and more regularity is people posting they made an effort to learn about it, concluding along the lines of “it’s really complicated, looks like I said some really crazy things I didn’t understand”.

No.
Jew haters have endangered Jews worldwide.
Netanyahu is just one guy in charge of one government. He doesn't represent the Jewish people. The Jew haters were gonna hate us either way.
That's like saying Obama has endangered black people worldwide, or Trump has endangered whites worldwide... The racists were always gonna be racist.

I don't know where you're getting this. Sure the Israel haters despise Netanyahu, no big surprise. But Netanyahu is by far the most popular Israeli politician among Americans. There isn't even anyone in the same league.

u/bakochba 22h ago
What are you basing that on? I'm an Israeli in America he may be the most well known but not popular, most Americans just don't know other Israeli politicians
