An Iranian envoy to the United Nations has censured the UN Security Council�s seven decades of utter silence against all unlawful acts committed by the Israeli regime, saying the history of mankind testifies that when unlawful acts go unpunished, they are repeated.
�The Council�s decades-long utter and inexcusable inaction has seriously emboldened that regime to commit more crimes with more brutality,� Zahra Ershadi, the deputy permanent representative of Iran to the UN, said on Wednesday before a UN Security Council session on �The Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question.�
She also slammed the US for encouraging Israel by systematically shielding the regime against any action by the Security Council.

�The latest example of such measures was the act of the United States, in May 2021, in blocking the Security Council from issuing even a simple press statement calling for an end to Israel�s bombardment of Gaza,� She said.

Ershadi made it clear that such �unwavering support� for Israel by the US is against the inherent rights of the oppressed Palestinians, including their right to life, dignity, liberation,�self-defense, self-determination, and to establish their own independent State.
