Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon on Wednesday slammed UN General Assembly President Peter Thomson, who wore a scarf with the colors of the the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)’s flag.

Thomson wore the scarf on Tuesday as the UN marked its annual “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People”. The special session, initiated by the Palestinian Authority’s UN delegation, is held annually on the anniversary of the UN Partition Plan of November 29, 1947, which led to the creation of the state of Israel, recognized by the UN. It is regularly used as an occasion to pass anti-Israel resolutions, and Tuesday’s session was no exception.

"It's unacceptable for the president of the UN General Assembly, whose position is a symbol of neutrality and stateliness, to wrap himself in a Palestinian flag and participate in an event whose sole purpose is to attack and besmirch the state of Israel,” Danon said, according to JNS.org.

“This is living, unequivocal proof of the bias against Israel and the slander spread about us at the UN," added the Israeli envoy.

The General Assembly adopted six resolutions critical of Israel during Tuesday’s session. The resolutions included measures ignoring Jewish ties to holy sites in Jerusalem, allocating resources to help promote the Palestinian narrative, and calling on Israel to withdraw from the “occupied territories.”

Danon himself gave a pointed speech at the session....

Dannon would have done better donning an Israeli flag, instead of daring the Palis to return to the negotiating table. That's about a dumb as Buffy the Vampire Slayer's little sister daring a vampire to come into her house. The vampire did.

Time to consider getting out of the UN again.

Permanent Latrine Orderly? Just looked it up and the movie “No Time for Sergeants” beat them to it as the movie came out in 1958 and the PLO didn’t form until 1964, ten years after the book came out.

I hope Trump moves the UN out of the USA. Use the building for a better purpose.
