Israeli Ambassador Addresses UN on Children and Armed Conflict
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Amb. Ron Prosor addressed the UN Security Council on "Children and Armed Conflict" on Wednesday: - In Israel our children go to schools with security guards stationed at the door, we walk through metal detectors to enter a mall, and our homes are built with a reinforced concrete room to protect our families from rockets. Last June, we learned that Palestinian terrorists kidnapped and brutally murdered three Israeli teenagers. Last August, 4-year-old Daniel Tregerman was playing with his younger siblings when a mortar fired by Palestinian terrorists from Gaza struck his home and killed him. In December, Palestinian terrorists threw a firebomb at a car carrying 11-year-old Ayala Shapira. Flames engulfed the car. In New York, the underground system is called the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. In Gaza, Hamas built a Metropolitan Terror Authority - miles of terror tunnels that extended like tentacles into Israel. These tunnels were built using Palestinian child laborers, many of whom were killed in the process. Hamas' terror tunnels opened at the doorsteps of Israeli communities - outside homes, kindergartens, and playgrounds - all with the deliberate intention of targeting and murdering Israeli children. Palestinian children are born in hospitals named after violent Palestinian groups and attend schools named after terrorists. In their free time, Palestinian children play on sports teams named after murderers, watch television programs that teach that Jews should be killed, and read cartoons urging them to commit attacks against Israelis.
