'Israeli blood is no cheaper than French blood,' Danon tells UN

Seems obvious, doesn't it? Not to those blinded by hatred of Israel & Jews.

Israel's envoy to the United Nations on Monday called on the international community to "rip off the Palestinian mask of lies" and condemn what he called "the lies and incitement" which fuel violence against Israelis.

Danny Danon addressed the UN General Assembly as it marked International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

"Israeli blood is no less valuable than French blood," the ambassador said as he held up a collage of photographs of Israelis killed by Palestinians in recent weeks....

....there is no reason to contextualize such barbaric acts as Palestinians "creating their own mess."

Terror attacks against the Dawabsha family, for example, can easily be condemned by decent people - without reservations. No excuses, No Palestinians creating their own mess bullshit. There's no excuse for it. Those acts are vile.

Just the same - there's no excuse for vile Palestinian terror attacks vs. random Jews - none whatsoever.

This shouldn't have to be explained on a liberal forum.

It's like asking someone to condemn the Abu Khdeir or Dawabsha murders, only to be answered with some vague.....

"I condemn all terror attacks".

Pathetic.

===================

For all your rants against him, Netanyahu unconditionally condemned the 2 vile settler attacks against innocent Palestinians. That's something Mahmoud Abbas refuses to do WRT Jews who are murdered. Apparently, Abbas' allergic reaction to condemning anti-Jewish violence is contagious.

If it were so easy, asshole Holocaust deniers like Abbas would have no problem condemning Palestinian attacks on Jews - even if Abbas doesn't mean it.

We both know why it's difficult for Abbas, don't we?

not even when they pretend to say nice things.

If someone else would have stood up and explained the plight of Israeli terror victims, I would have been definitely sympathetic. I would've even been sympathetic to Ron Prosor (the previous UN envoy) saying it even if I don't like him.

The problem is Ding Dong Danny Danon, he's eminently unsuitable to speak for Israel. Do you agree or disagree that he's a vile racist?

Ironic how Bibi's most hostile critics cannot see Arab terror against Jews as equally vile. Neither do they see Israeli victims & their families worthy of any sympathy whatsoever. Not even when asked to comment....

I think that's as revealing as anything else.

Those that defend him cannot be far behind in the lacking of morals, IMHO.

I recall when the Nakba day murders occured you were all over the place: blaming the Palestinians, defending the IDF and Israeli police.

You're not the poster child for common decency or humanity IMHO, and never will be.
