(Telegraph-UK) Barbara Amiel - Israeli presented a resolution at the UN on behalf of Israeli children that was a mirror copy of one on behalf of Palestinian children sponsored by Egypt and passed (88-4, 58 abstentions) in the General Assembly three weeks earlier. Ambassador Dan Gillerman asked for security for Israeli, Palestinian, and all children of the world. He mentioned the deliberate bombing of discos, pizza parlors, and school buses, almost exclusively used by children. The PA delegate argued that the situation of Palestinian children was "unique" - which it may well be, since most children of the world are not used as human shields for terrorist camps or encouraged to be suicide bombers so their pictures can be put up in grocery stores as "martyrs."
