By Jonathan Cook: Benjamin 'The Baby Butcher' Netanyahu’s whirlwind visit to the United States last week to address the United Nations General Assembly was further evidence that the Israeli prime minister is now a universal pariah.
He is being abandoned even by his closest allies.
It was perhaps not surprising that 77 nations, including a handful of European states, walked out of the chamber in protest that a wanted war crimes suspect – a fugitive from the International Criminal Court (ICC) – was being given a platform to speak on the world’s largest stage.
Far more notable was what happened – or rather, didn’t – away from the podium. Netanyahu spent just eight hours in the US before heading back to Israel. It is hard to believe that that was his choice.
