The Secretary-General strongly condemns today’s suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. He calls on the Palestinian Authority to take a clear public stand against such unjustifiable acts of terrorism, noting that President Abbas has done so and regretting that the new Government has not.

The Secretary-General is deeply concerned that civilians continue to be killed by violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory. He calls on all parties to abide by their obligations under international law, and to refrain from actions that further escalate the situation and put civilians at grave risk.

Whattya think, Dov? Needs work? I see a lot of these statements, and there is never a pure, unreserved condemnation of the terror attack. It is always followed by “urge Israel to show restraint” “urge both parties to yadda yadda yadda.”

I’m not comparing apples and oranges. I’ve been reading–and commenting on–these statements for years.

Kofi Annan is, indeed, very easy to hate.

The three children, however, were killed by agents of UN nation, who were conducting an illegal operation. It’s fair for Kofi to remind Israel that, in the UN’s view, they’ve fallen short of international standards.

I know Kofi is easy to hate, but here I really think its apples and oranges. A better comparison would be to put Kofi’s remarks about the three palestenian children side by side with one of his reactions to the murder of Israeli civilians. How does that measure up?

I deeply deplore the killing , when I give a shit.

I write targeted killing of alleged militants, when I try to imply that they aren’t terrorist, and that the Israeli’s don’t really have any right to protect themselves.
I produce this wonderful by line calls on Israel to respect international law , to re inforce that Israel isn’t respecting international law, especially like the Pals respect international law, when they target civilian targets deliberately, or they complain that the crossings aren’t open, and then they kill Israelis manning those crossings.

The Secretary-General sends his condolences to the families of the dead and injured., because we all know how much those poor mothers of the Martyrs hurt and weep. The death of an Israeli? Yawn… Next item on the agenda please.

This year he appeared at the annual destroy-Israel hate-fest sponsored by the UN’s very own Palestine committee, in which he happily appeared in a group photo under the infamous Palestine-Without-Israel map.

He’s a shit, and it’s really non-news. When pigs fly and he acts like a decent human being, THAT will be news. He is worse than U Thant and Waldheim combined, and that’s saying alot.
