Germany was kicked off the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the first time since it joined in 1973. This occurred amid claims that its role in the genocide of Palestinians played a role. It was deeply upsetting Zionists in Germany and elsewhere.

Facing consequences for their genocidal actions is not really the Zionists’ strong suit.

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) voted on the temporary seats for the UNSC yesterday.

Germany needed a two-thirds majority of votes in the wider UNGA to get a seat on the UNSC for the next two years, which it didn’t; Portugal and Austria were elected instead.

The UNSC consists of 15 of the 193 member states. The US, UK, China, Russia, and France are the five permanent members of the council and have veto power. In contrast, ten non-permanent (NPM) seats are regionally allocated. They are elected by the UNGA secret ballot every year to serve two-year terms.

The NPM seats on the UNSC are split according to regions: Africa gets three, Asia-Pacific gets two, Latin America gets two, Western Europe gets two, and Eastern Europe gets one.

Cost of loyalty to US and Israel

Full-time Canadian Zionist Hillel Neuer, who runs UN Watch, acknowledged the reports that Germany lost its UNSC seat because of its firm stance with Israel. For Neuer, blind loyalty to an apartheid state is apparently worth more than a seat at the table.

Manche behaupten, Deutschland habe seine Kandidatur für den UN-Sicherheitsrat verloren, weil es zu fest an der Seite Israels steht.

Wenn das stimmt, dann sei es so.

Stimmen von Diktaturen und Hamas-Verstehern sind kein moralischer Maßstab. Prinzipien zählen mehr als ein Sitz.

Meanwhile, German politicians are mad that Germany, through its UN contributions, has not been able to keep its seat at the UNSC. Additionally, German journalist James Jackson posted an article from Die Zeit.

German politicians are outraged that they cannot buy popularity by financially supporting international institutions while actually undermining them (Netanyahu invite & Albanese sanctions) https://t.co/MG9coGd0sU

In the Die Zeit article, one CDU minister, Manfred Pentz, who serves as the Hessian Minister for International Affairs, is asking why Germany should continue to invest so much money in the UN. This is notable if it does not have the influence it believes it is entitled to.

Rare moment of justice

Former German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was the one who announced the results, as she is the current UNGA president. She is also a staunch Israel ally. The Schadenfreude was delicious – just as journalist Ali Abunimah commented.

How do you say Schadenfreude in German? https://t.co/5b1wA8Wz2V

Craig Mokhiber, the former UN official, called Germany’s loss a rare moment of justice as Germany is punished for its war on Gaza and Iran.

In a rare moment of justice at the UN General Assembly today, Germany lost its bid for a UN Security Council seat. Germany’s scandalous support for genocide in Palestine and aggression against Iran, and its repression of human rights defenders inside Germany, were all on display…

Counterweight to the US and Israel war machine

The results yesterday also led to NPM seats at the UNSC for Kyrgyzstan, Zimbabwe, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Kyrgyzstan beat the US-backed Philippines.

Five new non-permanent members have been elected to the UN Security Council.

Zimbabwe, being on the UNSC, is also a counterweight to the Anglo-American-Zionist lobby.

Zimbabwe, formerly Southern Rhodesia, gained independence from British colonialism on April 18, 1980.  It is also one of the most sanctioned countries in the world because it committed the unthinkable crime in Western eyes for seizing land from white settlers. Of course, Israel hates it!

However, under economic strain from sanctions, Zimbabwe has yielded to Western pressure and gone back on some of its land reforms.

Neuer was throwing his toys out of the pram just because a German Diplomat congratulated Zimbabwe.

.@_FriedrichMerz This is a horrible message to send. Why is your government posting special congratulations to the U.N. election of the serial human rights abusing regime of Zimbabwe’s Emmerson Mnangagwa? Don’t you know how they crush dissidents?

As Mokhiber said, a rare moment of justice at the UNSC. But, be assured of a lot of whining from all US-backed states involved in the new developments.
