Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan wore a yellow Star of David in front of the UN Security Council.
In the Third Reich, the Nazis sewed yellow stars onto Jews to make deportations easier.
Erdan also compared the Israeli ground offensive to the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944.
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan and his staff went into hiding on Monday (local time). before the most powerful UN body yellow Stars of David with the inscription “Never Again” on the lapel. These were reminiscent of those stars, the Nazis in the Third Reich forced upon Jews as a symbol.
He will wear the star, like his grandparents and the grandparents of millions of Jews, Erdan said to the Security Council. “We will wear the star until you condemn Hamas’ atrocities and demand the immediate release of our hostages.”
In his speech, Erdan compared Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza to the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944. If the World Security Council had existed on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day, there would probably have been a heated debate regarding how much electricity and fuel Munich’s citizens still had, he mocked the council.
Responding to international concerns regarding civilian deaths in Gaza
Erdan was responding to global concerns that, in addition to the thousands of civilians already killed in Gaza, even more bystanders might die. He emphasized that a comparison of the deaths on both sides following the devastating massacre by the Islamist Hamas on October 7th was just as inadmissible as a comparison of German and British victims in the Second World War.
He compared the demand for a ceasefire in the Middle East to the demand for a ceasefire before the Russians recaptured Stalingrad in 1943.
The deeply divided UN Security Council has been unable to agree on a common resolution on the situation in the Middle East since the beginning of the war. Four drafts were rejected. The UN General Assembly then passed an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip with a large majority on Friday.
