Yes, it is outrageous that Ban Ki Moon essentially called terror attacks a natural result of "occupation," and Netanyahu was right in slamming him for it.

But that wasn't the strangest part of the speech.

The title of Ban Ki-Moon's talk was "Secretary-General's remarks to the Security Council on the Situation in the Middle East."

There were 52 paragraphs in the speech according to the official UN record.

Of those 52, three were about Lebanon. Two referred to Syria - one about refugees and one about the Golan.

The entire rest of the speech was about Israel and the Palestinians.

The Secretary General of the UN gives an overview of the Middle East without mentioning Syrian atrocities, without mentioning Iraqi instability, without even mentioning ISIS.

Nothing about Iran. Nothing about Saudi Arabia, which is killing more civilians in Yemen than Israel did in Gaza. Nothing about Egypt or Libya. Not a word about Kurds.

On the contrary - Ban Ki Moon implied that if only Israel would just give some more concessions, then the rest of the region would be inspired to make peace. "As the wider Middle East continues to be gripped by a relentless wave of extremist terror, Israelis and Palestinians have an opportunity to restore hope to a region torn apart by intolerance and cruelty."

The word "obsession" hardly does justice to the single-minded Israel fetish at the UN.


But, yes, we must also be angry at the Secretary General's justification for terror.






We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
