According to Yedioth Ahronoth, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is leaning towards leaving Israel off the listdespite heavy lobbying by the Palestinians and pro-Palestinian groupsover concern of damaging the world bodys relationship with the Jewish state.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the hypocrisy of the world body in regards to the IDF.
Israel-haters are threatening the United Nations and no one is complaining about them, a senior Foreign Ministry official said. Its a scandal and its hypocrisy. There are unfortunately a lot of situations in which children are killed in zones of conflict and yet no one dares put them on the list. Do you know how many kids the Saudis have killed while bombing Yemen? I want to see the U.N. secretary-generals Algerian envoy dare to include Saudi Arabia on the list.

I guess this is perfectly fine
the Mossad (and a far more secretive justice organization) are taking very, very good, close notes about every Nazi who comes out of the closet like this
Planned Parenthood?
The UN should be dismantled. Every new FedGov program created since January 20, 2009, should be dismantled. Half of FedGov from before 2009 should be dismantled. It’s time to restore freedom by shrinking the national government and the global efforts toward one world government.
FTUN
How about adding the UN?
The children are combatants.
They are shields and therefore targets
