Israeli Ambassador Condemns UN Commission for "One-Sided" Report on Palestinian Conflict
(Fox News) Ronn Blitzer - Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan on Thursday condemned a UN Human Rights Council commission of inquiry report on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that only blamed Israel, ignoring Palestinian violence. "The Commission of Inquiry report being presented is a one-sided, terror white-washing, and morally bankrupt document that does nothing remotely productive for the Palestinians or the region," Erdan said. "In fact, it only makes matters worse. It shows the terrorists of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the true oppressors of the Palestinian people, that terror pays off." Erdan added: "Their report deliberately omits any mention of Hamas or their thousands of indiscriminately fired rockets, while exclusively placing all the blame for every aspect of the conflict on the law-abiding, liberal democracy of Israel." Accompanying Erdan were the parents of 5-year-old Ido Avigal, who was killed when a Hamas rocket hit his family's home in Israel. "Can you look into the eyes of Ido's parents and explain to them why you deliberately ignored their son's murder?" Erdan asked.
