Ban Ki-moon: 'I don't think there is discrimination against Israel at UN'

NEW YORK – UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon denied on Monday there is any bias in the UN against Israel.

At a press “encounter” at the UN Headquarters in New York, a reporter for Israel Radio pressed Ban about his comments last Friday while meeting with students at the UN headquarters in Jerusalem.

Ban simply said, “I don’t think there is discrimination against Israel at the United Nations.”

He continued, “The Israeli government maybe raised this issue that there’s some bias against Israel, but Israel is one of the 193 member states. Thus, Israel should have equal rights and opportunities without having any bias, any discrimination. That’s a fundamental principle of the United Nations charter. And thus, Israel should be fully given such rights.”

In Jerusalem last week, the secretary- general reportedly admitted to students that there is bias against Israel in the UN.

“Unfortunately because of the conflict, Israel has been weighed down by criticism and suffered from bias – sometimes even discrimination,” Ban said at the time, according to several media sources.

Another Korean MOONMAN heard from. Too much Kimchee rots the brain.

He should be BAN-NED from the UN, not allowed to run it (into the ground).

Read what he said. Israel should have equal voice with the other 190+ member states. How many of those states are in states of prepetual war with Israel? How can that state of war NOT lead to a 20-something to 1-something bias if all voice are equal?

Ban should be banned from speaking on such subjects. Could his name really be Bat Ki-Moon. He is certainly batty.

Our very own new delegate to the U.N., Samantha Powers, has been openly anti-Israel, which probably finally makes anti-Israel sentiment unanimous at the U.N. But Ban-Ki Moon says there’s no bias against Israel?!

Thanks Nachum.
...a reporter for Israel Radio pressed Ban about his comments last Friday [In Jerusalem last week, the secretary- general reportedly admitted to students that there is bias against Israel in the UN.] "I don't think there is discrimination against Israel at the United Nations... The Israeli government maybe raised this issue that there's some bias against Israel, but Israel is one of the 193 member states. Thus, Israel should have equal rights and opportunities without having any bias, any discrimination. That’s a fundamental principle of the United Nations charter. And thus, Israel should be fully given such rights. Unfortunately because of the conflict, Israel has been weighed down by criticism and suffered from bias – sometimes even discrimination"...
IOW, the only reason that Israel doesn't have the same rights and opportunities (membership in a regional group, visitor seat on the Security Council, etc) is because those Jews keep defending themselves from mass-murdering muzzie members.

Yeah, he’s pretty “out there” with the weaseling. So far out there he’s straight out telling us you’re darn tootin’ there’s bias, in diplomat-speak.

When he said “I don’t think” that answered it all.

Hip boots or even waders aren't enough any more; need a full deepsea diving suit.

This is a true rarity: the bull suffocated himself it was so deep.

Over 200 UN Resolutions involving Israel and or the false-a-stinians , not one of them condemning the false-a-stinians for their perpetual war against Israel.
No bias there /s
