NEW YORK – In a message delivered on his behalf to a conference on the “Rights of the Palestinian people,” UN Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon said the recent terrorist attacks by Palestinians against Israelis are “bred from nearly five decades of Israeli occupation.”
“It is the result of fear, humiliation, frustration and mistrust,” he said. “It has been fed by the wounds of decades of bloody conflict, which will take a long time to heal. Palestinian youth in particular are tired of broken promises and they see no light at the end of the tunnel.”
In his message, which was delivered on Tuesday, Ban also blamed the “settlement enterprise” for the deterioration of the situation in the region.
"Instead of wasting your time trying to rationalize Palestinian terrorism, the UN should confront the Palestinian Authority to eradicate incitement," Israel's envoy to UN Danon says in response.

You think stealing land, which increased under Netanyahu, isnt wrong? Are you insane? So calling out the obvious, illegal land grabs, mass check points inside the West Bank, extremist Jewish settlers, and of course decades long occupation makes Israel somehow an innocent victim in all of this? How typical.
Ironic how Netanyahu wants Iran to recognize Israel but refuses to allow, let alone recognize, Palestine as a state.

I'm not talking about Gaza, im talking about the West Bank. So are you really saying there's no proof Israel is stealing land and creating illegal settlements??????

Are you insane? There's no proof? Do a quick google search if you truly believe that nonsense but I'm sure you know you're lying and are only here to purport said lie.
