Even the father of an Israelite soldier killed during the Hamas attack abandoned the room. Few were interested in what Benjamin Netanyahu had to say.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came this Friday at the UN General Assembly with a QR code in the lapel that refers to a portal with explicit and bloody images of Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023.
By accessing the code, a notice of “Explicit Content” and “extreme violence”.
The page is presented as a “documentation of crimes against humanity” committed in the “Hamas Massacre” of 7 October, in which, according to the portal’s authors, “more than a thousand innocent civilians were massacred.”
Netanyahu, received in New York with protests on the streetsis being investigated by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes, and was requested to be arrested. TPI judges claim there are “reasonable motives” to believe that they are responsible for war crimes and against humanity.
On course there is also a trial in Israel, already in court, on cases of corruption.
The portal also contains images of soldiers with disfigured faces and bloody bodies, as well as photos and videos of the slaughter at the Reim Music Festival, where 364 civilians were killed and 40 people were kidnapped.
There are blood records in portable bathroomsrows of corpses with bullet wounds and also bodies and charred objects.
The page also recalls the attack numbers: more than 1,200 dead, more than 6,000 injured and 253 kidnapped.
Of the 253 kidnapped, they remain in the hands of Hamas 48, and only 20 will be alive, according to Netanyahu today when speaking in the UN, where, before starting the intervention, he saw dozens of delegations abandoned the room.
The Israeli Prime Minister seeks to recover the narrative, at a time when countries such as United Kingdom, Spain and Canada and Portugal, among others, recognized the state of Palestine and in which international nations and organizations are growing to classify Israeli offensive in Gaza as genocide since October 7.
Israel also launched a Advertising campaign in New Yorkwith advertising trucks and posters in Times Square saying “remember October 7”.
Speech for a few (and controversial with father of soldier)
Despite the attempt to draw attention to the episode, the audience was almost empty: Qall delegates who were in the room abandoned the space Before the Israeli Prime Minister even begins to speak, applauded standing by other representatives from various countries.
The act of protest was also followed by Ruby Chen, father of the Israeli hostage Itay Chen. According to, Ruby had traveled to New York to listen to Netanyahu, hoping to know something about the fate of the remaining hostages in Gaza.
This is because, according to Israelite Defense Forces, his son was killed in the attack of Hamas and his body taken to Gaza.
Netanyahu, during the speech, read the names of Israeli hostages, but only those who were still believed to be alive.
“While listening to his speech, he began to name the 20 hostages that are in Gaza and did not mention my son, showing me zero respectChen told the BBC. It also ended up leaving the room.
