Israel Demands UN Condemn Gaza Rocket Fire
(Times of Israel) Stuart Winer - Israel called on the UN on Monday to categorically denounce rockets fired by terrorists in Gaza at Israel's civilian population after a barrage of rockets slammed into southern Israel. "Unequivocally condemn the rocket fire," Israeli envoy to the UN Ron Proser urged in a letter this week to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council. "The usual statements calling for mutual restraint are not enough. This is not a matter of two sides, but one side and one side only that continues to repeatedly impose terror on innocent civilians." "There is no place to equate between a terror group that makes civilians its target and a state that wants to protect its residents....After seven years it's about time that the Security Council unanimously condemned these attacks, which are not based on any provocation from Israel."
