[Elder of Ziyon] UN official: "Israeli-Palestinian conflict not less important than Syria crisis"

Nice to know that the UN has maintained its sense of proportion.

A senior United Nations diplomat has warned the international community about the danger of focusing on the Syrian crisis at the expense of finding a resolution to Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Robert Serry, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process briefed the Security Council on Tuesday on the situation in the region.

"Ending the conflict in Syria is a matter of great urgency and must be the top priority of the international community. At the same time, it would be mistaken, and dangerous, to assume that a resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is less important."

We can't let our primary UN mission of blaming all the world's problems on Israel be distracted by a mere hundred thousand dead, flattened cities, chemical weapons and millions of displaced persons, can we?
