UN’s Ban scolds Israeli officials who ‘twisted’ his criticism In NY TimesSecretary 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.

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.
