DON'T QUOTE SCRIPTURE SELECTIVELY - BARBADOS PM TO NETANYAHU

Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for quoting the Bible to justify Israel's military onslaught in Gaza, as well as its attacks on Lebanon, Iran and Yemen. Netanyahu made his remarks at the 79th United Nations General Assembly session in September. Since then, Israel has also struck Iraq.  

Mottley affirmed her country's support for Palestine. '[Barbados] took the step this year of recognising and establishing diplomatic relations with the state of Palestine in spite of having supported a two-state solution since 1969,' she said, adding, 'We did this because it is clear to us that the state and people of Palestine—human beings—are entitled to full recognition by integration into and support from the international community. The charter does not say 'we the people with the exception of any one group from any one part of the world.''

So far, Israel has k*lled nearly 43,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. However, according to the Lancet medical journal, the death toll as of early July may have already topped 186,000. Plus, University of Edinburgh global health chair Devi Sridhar estimated deaths at 335,000 by September.
