A wave of violence close, by the way, to the anniversary of <strong>the Night of Broken Glass<\/strong>, perpetrated by the Nazis in Germany on the night of 9-10 November 1938, and during which the Jewish community in that country experienced a wave of violence and terror that was a clear foreshadowing of the Holocaust that would come later.<\/p>\n<p>Guterres' statement yesterday <strong>is as if, after Kristallnacht, he had condemned \"anti-Semitism and anti-Nazi bigotry.\"<\/strong> Just like his statements last year on the war provoked by Hamas in the Middle East, <strong>what Guterres is doing is a way of equating aggressors and victims, once again<\/strong>. The UN has had some very deplorable secretaries-general, but this Portuguese socialist seems determined to surpass all his predecessors in vileness.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: ONU.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portuguese socialist Ant\u00f3nio Guterres seems determined to turn his mandate as UN Secretary-General into a constant scandal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10373],"tags":[23034,11887,11829,11326,10473],"class_list":["post-57704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-world","tag-amsterdam","tag-antonio-guterres","tag-antisemitism","tag-netherlands","tag-united-nations"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 03:43:39","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57704\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
