Israeli UN Ambassador Prosor: The Only Arabs in the Middle East Who Are Truly Free Are Citizens of Israel
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor addressed the UN General Assembly on the "Question of Palestine" on Monday: "Today in this Assembly, truth will be turned on its head and morality cast aside....When members of the international community speak about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a fog descends to cloud all logic and moral clarity....The world's unrelenting focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an injustice to tens of millions of victims of tyranny and terrorism in the Middle East. As we speak, Yazidis, Bahai, Kurds, Christians and Muslims are being executed and expelled by radical extremists at a rate of 1,000 people per month." "Of the 300 million Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa, less than half a percent are truly free - and they are all citizens of Israel." "Every European parliament that voted to prematurely and unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state is giving the Palestinians exactly what they want - statehood without peace. By handing them a state on a silver platter, you are rewarding unilateral actions and taking away any incentive for the Palestinians to negotiate or compromise or renounce violence."
