(Independent-UK) May Bulman - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the UN Security Council on Friday, "Over the last decade I have argued that we cannot have a bias against Israel at the UN.

In many cases, instead of helping the Palestinian issue, this reality has foiled the ability of the UN to fulfill its role effectively."

This is absurd."
