Toespraak Ron Prosor in de VN

De Israëlische Ambassadeur bij de VN, Ron Prosor:
'It may be too much to ask that you stand on our side in this battle between civilization and barbarism – but at least have the decency to swallow your selective outrage as Israel wages war against the extremist groups seeking to eradicate the values we all hold dear.
The international community is once again experiencing a severe lack of foresight. Every day, we are confronted by stories of radical Islamic terrorism. ISIS is purging Iraq of Christians. Boko Haram has kidnapped schoolgirls in Nigeria. Al-Shabaab gunmen are raiding fishing villages on the Somali coast.
There is only one way to achieve sustained quiet in Israel and build a peaceful and prosperous Gaza. Hamas must be disarmed. Gaza must be demilitarized. And the international community must divorce itself from the romantic notion of Hamas as ‘freedom fighters.’
Hamas has been clear about its intentions. It is a genocidal organization committed to the destruction of Israel and the murder of the Jewish people.'
