Not sure who is making authoritative statements to be honest. When requested links then we are told this is well known but no proof provided
So we have to believe your words.

Or you could actually learn a little bit about history.

Ever heard of the Arab boycott of Israel?
They've always walked out, it's not news and it's not new. Clearly doesn't make news in the English media until joined by other countries. It was only news when they actually stayed.

An authoriative statement is to say "It's only about Netanyahu and not Israel" when this is something which has existed well before Netanyahu.

Absolutely there are but I wouldn't then come on to threads specifically about that country - and at the UN as well - and make authoritative statements on the topic.

and make authoritative statements on the topic.
I didn't, I was talking about the most recent general assembly, the one this thread is about.

And let’s not forget that UNWRA employed terrorists, UN ‘peacekeepers’ have been in south Lebanon for years and it took UN Women 2 months to condemn the violence against women on 7th Oct. The UN is so biased. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to it post US election.

To be fair to the UN, UNRWA employs a ton of local employees as it effectively does what should be a governments roles - teachers, nurses, cleaners, drivers - and I'm not surprised some turned out to be Hamas terrorsits as well as sympathisers because that's reflective of the local population.

And UNIFIL's mandate ties its hands. For e.g. they weren't allowed to inspect private homes. - so guess where Hezbollah hid thir missiles?

Unwomen - yeah, no excuse on that one.

A lot also isn't the UN's fault. It's not the UN using the GA to demonstratively walk out to score political points but the member states. The UNGA is just the forum.

Because I am not completely focused on Israel all the time as many posters seem to assume. I am sure there are plenty of things about other nations you don't know

Not saying Israel is always in the right here but Iran chaired the UN human rights council. These people are a joke,

A link to it??? It's been happening since Israel has existed. In fact, the one time they didn't walk out (in 1994) was big news.
How can you not know that?!

Then why have they always walked out on Israel even pre-Netanyahu?

Or continue to console yourself that everyone hates Israel.
Not Israel, Netanyahu. It is not about hate it is about not wanting to listen to his lies

There is a difference to be an empty room and to be a room and people walking out because they disagree with the person invited to talk.

maybe you are the one that needs consoling that everyone hates Israel (or most likely their PM)

There's also a difference between coming to demonstratively walk out.

The Arab states and Iran have always done this to Israel by the way, so it's nothing new. They've always appeared so they can walk out 😂It's not like this is the first time, it's been going for decades.

And it's also meangingless.

I'm sure they did walk out. They came there to do that.
What thing is for sure and certain is taht they are not sitting there through all the interminable speeches at the UNGA and just walked out when Israel appeared.

I'm not saying the room was full, I'm saying that most leaders address an almost empty room. You can check it out for yourself if you don't believe me. Or continue to console yourself that everyone hates Israel.

Not sure what your definition of "full" is but I can find you dozens of photos of UNGA speeches which are less full that Netanyahu's.
I don't doubt that he's not particularly liked but, at the same time, it's a totally meaningless metric to gloat about - just shows you don't know how the UN works.

I don't doubt that some delegations came to the hall so they could demonstratively walk out 😅

Sure. If that consoles you.

Looks pretty full to me.

It was plastered in the news that many delegates walked out before Netanyahu's speech 🙄 Not sure why you are trying to make it look otherwise. Surely even his loyal fans know that he isn't very popular.

Here's another GA speech.
This time VIet Nam
Packed to the gills. Stnading room only 😂
For those that don't know, no one goes to the UNGA to listen to the speeches. 😂

Pakistan spoke just before Israel and this is what it looked like. There was hardly a mass walk out, few people were there to begin with
It's very funny that people here think that all the delegations just sit there through all the endless speeches when anyway it's all recorded and webcast and there's no debate or discussion.

"Netanyahu Addresses an EMPTY United Nations Hall

The world is DONE with his lies"
https://x.com/RyanRozbiani/status/1839662544400642254
Heartening that most delegates are done with listening to the architect of a plausible genocide and the cause of the deaths of so many of their colleagues in Palestine and Lebanon.

P.S. apparently the UN is antisemitic and against Israel and a swamp that must be drained...

That's what most speeches at the UNGA look like towards the end 😅
