    Riyad Mansour told an emergency meeting of the council Friday that Israel’s “savage” aggression into Gaza “cannot be justified by any means.”

    “It is not self-defense,” he said. “It is a vengeful military aggression intentionally planned and perpetrated by the occupying power on the civilian population under its occupation.”

    Mansour said the Israeli campaign is designed to destroy “Palestinian unity and collapse of the national consensus government.”

    A U.N. official said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will leave Saturday for the Middle East to help mediate the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

    Ridiculous. Gaza is not occupied. Israel left years ago. Hamas is the elected government of Gaza, and so Gaza is responsible for the aggression against Israel. Of course you could always ignore the facts and just go with anti-Jewish bias.

    What occupying power? What occupation?
    Israel gave them Gaza (for promises of peace (and look what Israel got in return; a terror state similar to Somalia)). There is not a single Israeli there or a single Jew. It is 100% Judenrein.

    Vengeful?
    What would you call thousands of rockets fired at millions of Jews (and Arabs)? (An act of honor, of course…)
    What would you call 1000 dead from 80 Hamas suicide bombers and thousands more injured without limbs, or paralyzed etc?

    Civilian population?
    Is that what Hamas is? Because that is who the IDF is targeting…

    By the way, in other news, the death toll from the Syria civil war has topped 160,000 a third of which are civilians…

    Does the civilian population live in the tunnels containing rockets that israel is blowing up?

    Where are all of your brave “resistance” fighters? Underground in their rat holes? Why don’t they come out and fight like real soldiers without using civilians as human shields?

    OK, enough threats. Let’s go to court. Dershowitz for the defense and a counter suit. A mullah who cites Sharia law for the plaintiff. I want to sell tickets for this.
