ISRAELI ENVOY CALLS ON UN SECURITY COUNCIL TO CONDEMN PALESTINIAN TERROR ATTACKS:

Following Tuesday’s 8 March 2016 three terror attacks in Israel, Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sent an urgent letter to the UN Security Council demanding they condemn the stabbings. Some 12 people were injured in the attacks which took place in Jaffa, Jerusalem and Petah Tikva on Tues. Twenty-nine year old American tourist Taylor Force succumbed to his stab wounds. In his letter to the Security Council, Ambassador Danon wrote that since the onset of the current wave of violence the Palestinians have committed 317 attacks against Israelis at an average of 2.18 attacks every day, a third of which, he noted, were committed by minors. "This ongoing wave of terror has claimed the lives of thirty four victims - thirty four fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, buried by their loved ones,” the Ambassador wrote. "Yet, the Security Council has not condemned Palestinian terror even once,” he continued. "The international community must not continue to ignore this ongoing campaign of brainwashing and indoctrination,” he wrote, referring to Palestinian incitement. "I ask you to open your eyes, condemn the ongoing attacks,” Danon concluded. (Jerusalem Post)
