Israel demands UN sack food expert

[bemildred]

Israel has told the UN to sack its expert on starvation after a report found that 22% of Palestinian children in the occupied territories are malnourished.

Itzhak Levanon, Tel Aviv's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told journalists on Monday that Swiss sociologist Jean Ziegler had exceeded his responsibilities by calling for political measures to be taken against Israel.

"He attacks Israel on every occasion and will start again at the UN General Assembly in two days' time … it's not the first time," Levanon said.

"We have asked the Commission on Human Rights to consider the possibility of ending his mandate."

1. Of course...

If it makes Isreal look bad, it must be lies and therefore, silenced.
There are no starving Palasitinian children.
If there are any, it is not Isreal's fault.
Thank you for your cooperation.

2. It was over 22% of Israeli children over a year ago. Malnutrition for

Palestinian children has been on a par with sub-Saharan Africa for about that long, in accordance with the wishes of US taxpayers.

3. Yeah, its a big success all around.

I expect getting rid of this guy will fix it though.

4. If that expectation gives you comfort, cling to it

No humane person could begrudge you it.
