UN’s Ban scolds Israeli officials who ‘twisted’ his criticism In NY Times
Secretary general condemns terrorism, but insists Israel ignores Palestinian frustration at its peril
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Monday stood by his harsh criticism of Israel’s policies in the West Bank, but stressed that his words — which have been maligned by a battery of Israeli officials — under no circumstances amounted to a justification for terror attacks.
“In Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, 2016 has begun much as 2015 ended — with unacceptable levels of violence and a polarized public discourse,” Ban wrote in a New York Times op-ed piece.
“That polarization showed itself in the halls of the United Nations last week when I pointed out a simple truth: History proves that people will always resist occupation,” he said.
In a thinly veiled jab at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Tuesday accused the United Nations chief of “stoking terror,” Ban argued that he had been misrepresented by critics.
Those who demand this or that of Israel, while not DEMANDING the end of Right of Return, are DEMANDING that Israel END ITS EXISTENCE as a boiled frog.
That means the criterion for Jews is that Israel be too civilized to exist on EARTH.
