UN Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres claimed at the weekend that
the death toll in Gaza is
"unprecedented during my time as secretary general."
This
statement is false. Guterres has been secretary-general of the UN since 2017
and during that time:
- Tens of thousands, most Christians, Killed by
Islamists in northern Nigeria
- Tens of thousands killed in Sudan's internal
conflicts
- 39,000-49,000 killed in Armenia-Azerbaijan
crisis
- 45,000 or more killed in Myanmar's Ongoing Civil
war
- 40,000-50,000 killed in Mexico's ongoing drug
war
- Over 80,000 killed in Syria's ongoing civil war
- Over 100,000 killed in the Russia-Ukraine war
- Over 100,000 died in Yemen as a result of
ongoing civil war
- 180,000-600,000 died in internal conflict in
Ethiopia
Bottom line: Calling the 30,000 deaths in Gaza
"unprecedented" is a lie meant to delegitimize Israel's efforts
to defend itself.
