UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appealed Sunday for restraint to avoid an escalation in the Syrian conflict, expressing "grave concern" over Israeli air strikes, AFP reported.
"The secretary-general calls on all sides to exercise maximum calm and restraint, and to act with a sense of responsibility to prevent an escalation of what is already a devastating and highly dangerous conflict," his spokesman Martin Nesirky said.

I will also express grave concern for the thousands killed by sarin gas in a major Israeli city. This is a great job. I can express grave concern about things, and say *tsk* *tsk* and they pay me! Not to mention the kovod. Boy, do I get kovod.
Ban Ki Moon is a fan of turning the other cheek. I’m not.
Go Israel
Maybe it’s time for Banki to go home to North Korea.
“The secretary-general urges respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries in the region...”
Except, of course, Israel.

Is it a job requirement for Secy Genl of the UN to be a despicable little fart eater? Or does it just help?
Jeeze, the UN is unhappy with Israel’s defense of its existence.
Mark this down as a red-letter day!
Hey Ban..do me a favor and go suck a lemon OK..Israel is doing the job Obama refuses to do cause he’s a giant douche..figures an Israel hater like Moon would have an issue with Israel defending itself
Sure, Moon guy wants Israel to shut up until they are all dead, then they won’t make any more noise.
Has he publicly expressed a “grave concern” about the recent unwelcome military intrusion by the Chinese into India?
If not, wouldn’t it be fair to confront him with the issue of whether he has an agenda or even a bias regarding Israel?
The U.N. itself has no “respect for national sovereignty.”
China and India? Wait. That didn’t happen on TV. So it didn’t happen, and I don’t have to express any grave concern over it.
