Israel's foreign minister announced Wednesday that U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has been declared "persona non grata" and barred from entering Israel.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused Guterres of bias, citing his failure to condemn Iran's recent attack on Israel.

"Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil."

"This is an Israel-hating Secretary-General, who gives support to terrorists," he said.

Much logic. "Not condemning" = "Celebrating" apparently. If i see two drunk people beat each other up, then im not gonna condemn either of them, but that doesnt mean i think that either of them are doing something good. If he had to condemn every attack from both sides all the time, he wouldnt be able to work at all. Maybe thats the goal here. Preventing the UN from doing its job.

I'm sure you have the best of intentions but, the way you put it, seems like the "all lives matter", "men's rights" rhetoric. There's just one genocidal actor in the region, anyone acting to contain it (including non-state actors) is doing the world a huge favour.
