There is no cycle of violence. There is terrorism.

Tragically, since the establishment of the State of Israel, every Israeli in every generation has been touched by war and by terror.

Following is an edited version of the first address made by Ambassador Danny Danon to the UN Security Council on Thursday. The people of Israel seek to live in peace and to see their children prosper. For the Jewish People, who have suffered centuries of exile and persecution, our dream can be summed up in the words of our national anthem, “to live as a free people in our land.”

Tragically, since the establishment of the State of Israel, every Israeli in every generation has been touched by war and by terror.

My own father, Joseph Danon, was severely injured by terrorists during his reserve duty. After sustaining critical injuries, he eventually passed away after a long and painful struggle.

We all hope and pray for peace with our neighbors, and we will do all that we can to achieve this noble goal, but we will never compromise the security of the Jewish state.

Today, I address this chamber at a time of great difficulty and pain in my country and for my people.

This is not how I envisioned my first address.

Over the past six weeks, the streets of Israel have been swept by a savage tide of terror, and I am disappointed that all I hear are calls to end the “cycle of violence.”

Let me make one thing clear – this is not a cycle of violence. These are simply unprovoked attacks against Israelis for no reason other than the fact that they are Jews living in their historic homeland.

Netanyahu chose well when he picked him for the UN.

"Like any country, Israel has the right and obligation to defend its citizens, and this is exactly what we are doing. Any country whose people were being attacked in the streets on a daily basis would act in the exact same way."

There will be no peace on earth as long as Islam exists.

That’s not my opinion, its literally the teaching of Islam itself.

Yeah to use the words of Zero, its in the death cult DNA.

FUBO Annihilate!

The only place where the status quo needs to change is at the UN.

He speaks the truth boldly. The UN is completely complicit in the terrorism perpetrated by the palis. At best the UN is an enabler.

The whole speech is worth the time to read.
