CALL 0900-WASN'T-ME FOR CEASEFIRE; The theatrical Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, childishly holds up phone number of a Hamas leader as the General Assembly votes for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Over 18.5 thousand deaths in Gaza since Hamas struck the occupying forces, and Israel still believes they aren't the party doing the damage.

🇺🇳 U.N WANTS $63 MILLION BACK after Ukrainian official gave it to a man at a party. [Not The Onion!*]

🇺🇦 The UN is demanding compensation from the Ukrainian former Deputy Secretary General of the UN, Vitaly Vanshelboim.

💲Vanshelboim entrusted the funds to a man he met at a party, who invested it in renewable energy and housing projects. The investment returned only 10%.

Vanshelboim was fired in January and ordered to return the money. Hearings will take place in 2024.

Gee, there's usually 3 lines of sign offs for money spent on LUNCH - but high enough cats can just hand over 63 mil of organization's funds to a nice lookin' dude?

*The Onion is a satirical publication.

THE GREAT ORATOR STRIKES AGAIN as Zelensky tells Americans to spend nothing on themselves.

Don’t build roads. Spend all your money on weapons, drones, society, and pensions, and etcetera, and don’t cry because you are leaders - he said, noting it should all be sent to his regime.

Not even Zelenskaya spends nothing on herself, but y'all should. “We are really defending democracy and we are really defending freedom,” Zelensky adds.

🇺🇦 STRANGLED INTO LOYALTY: “If you don't want to go, I’ll get your son!”

A military enlistment officer in Lvov, Western Ukraine grabs a priest of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church by the neck, while issuing a summons.

The man threatens the priest, as at his son’s funeral the former did not say the military rank of the deceased, but instead called him “a servant of God.”

Time to turn on each other? With defenders like these - who needs enemies.

LAVROV CALLS OUT NETANYAHU'S LIES:

00:38 Netanyahu has claimed that the ratio of terrorist to civilian deaths in Gaza is 1:1. This can't be verified and bears little resemblance to the actual situation.

Following that logic, at least half of Gaza are baby terrorists! Does any Western leader ever dare to question the factually incoherent spiels that tend to come out of Israel?

🇭🇺 HUNGARY - THE SQUEAKY WHEEL: Hungarian PM Orban has a strong stance that Hungary will not support EU accession negotiations with Ukraine - even if it is the only one of 27 (with Slovakia & Austria now also on the same page.)

Meanwhile, in the parallel reality of dancing Ukrainian FM Kuleba (in video):

The issue of Hungary opposing Ukraine’s accession to the EU is now resolved - Kuleba says, following a meeting with his Hungarian counterpart Szijjarto.

We don't know how Szijjarto humored Kuleba, but Orban has not budged on his position.
