UN Chief Warns Against Ground Operation in Gaza
inn ^ | 7/13/14 | Elad Benari

United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sunday night urged Israel to scrap plans for a ground operation in Gaza, saying that "too many" Palestinian Arab civilians have been killed, AFP reported.

Repeating his call for a ceasefire, the secretary-general said he "feels a sense of responsibility for the Palestinians who, especially in the Gaza Strip, have long been denied the sense of freedom and dignity that they deserve," according to a statement released by his spokesman Stephane Dujarric.

The situation in Gaza "appears to be worsening," Ban said, noting that the UN Security Council's call for a ceasefire had not been respected.

Reiterating his condemnation of the firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas terrorists, Ban demanded an "immediate cessation of these indecent attacks."

He also stressed, however, that "too many Palestinian civilians have been killed, and any Israeli ground offensive will undoubtedly increase the death toll and exacerbate civilian suffering in the Gaza Strip."

What is needed is an IDF ground operation at the UN.

Didn't know there was an acceptable number.

I wonder what that number is.

One sternly written letter all in CAPS. And if Israel continues???? It’ll be written in CAPS and in red. So cut that out. Oh, BTW, Hamas can still rocket anywhere in Israel.

Whatever the number may be, you know as far as the Universal Nimrods are concerned it will only consist of Israelis.

“...the Palestinians who, especially in the Gaza Strip, have long been denied the sense of freedom and dignity that they deserve..”

This may be a true statement, but the source of the denial of freedom and dignity is the other Arab states, none of which wanted anything to do with the despicable Palestinians. That disrespect is why this scum ended up in Palestine in the first place; none of the Arab states would accept the cretins, hence they ended up in Palestine by default. Now they are just a convenient means of whipping up anti-Western paranoia!

I agree with him. No ground operation. Carpet-bomb the savages into oblivion.

Thanks Nachum. Here's the buried lead -- pro-jihadist agitprop:
...the secretary-general said he "feels a sense of responsibility for the Palestinians who, especially in the Gaza Strip, have long been denied the sense of freedom and dignity that they deserve," ...The situation in Gaza "appears to be worsening," Ban said, noting that the UN Security Council's call for a ceasefire had not been respected. Reiterating his condemnation of the firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas terrorists, Ban demanded an "immediate cessation of these indecent attacks."
The Arab squatters in Gaza live under Islamofascist rule -- and that's why they have no freedom, and they are 96 percent muzzie, which means they have no dignity.

So, how does one tell the difference between a Palestinian civilian, and a Hamass Terrorist? Seems as though they are one and the same, from this perspective, and from the Tel-Aviv perspective. The Hamass are in and among and intermingled with and are an integral part of and the elected government of the Palestinians. They are the same. He is talking about the doofuses rocketing Tel-Aviv, no?

Neutron weapons. Low explosive power and huge results. Mask them with conventional air delivered explosives.

You were not too harsh. I have seen stronger statements than that, and I agreed with all of them.
