Watch: Israeli Ambassador's Fiery Condemnation of UN's Potential Palestinian Statehood Decision
Ambassador Gilad Erdan, the Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations, vehemently condemns the United Nations for potentially granting statehood or membership to a Palestinian entity controlled by terrorist groups like Hamas. He views this as akin to appeasing the Nazis before WWII and a betrayal of the UN's founding principles to prevent such evil and genocide.
He:
- Compares Palestinian groups to the Nazis and calls their leaders the "Hitlers of our times."
- Claims the UN is "welcoming a terror state into its ranks" and granting "rights and privileges" to "modern-day Nazis."
- Accuses the UN of violating its own charter by potentially admitting an entity that is not peace-loving.
- Warns that admitting the Palestinians means admitting Hamas, whose goal is "Jewish genocide."
- Claims the Palestinians glorify terrorism instead of peace, paying terrorists and teaching "martyrdom and jihad."
- Argues that this is reminiscent of the appeasement of Hitler at the Munich Agreement before WWII.
- Says the UN is spitting on the values it was founded upon after the Holocaust.
- Predicts the UN will potentially welcome "terrorist diplomats" from groups like Hamas, ISIS, and Boko Haram.
- Declares the UN is "gutting" and "shredding" its own charter with this "immoral act."
