Israel Calls on UN Security Council to Condemn Palestinian Terror Attacks

(Jerusalem Post) Danielle Ziri - Following the terror attacks in Israel on Tuesday, Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon sent an urgent letter to the UN Security Council demanding they condemn the stabbings. Since the onset of the current wave of violence, Palestinians have committed 317 attacks against Israelis. "This ongoing wave of terror has claimed the lives of 34 victims - 34 fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, buried by their loved ones. Yet, the Security Council has not condemned Palestinian terror even once." Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Stephen M. Greenberg and Executive Vice-Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein extended their condolences to the family of the slain American, Taylor Force, on Tuesday and said: "We condemn the attacks in Jaffa, Jerusalem, and Petah Tikva and call on the international community, especially the Palestinian Authority, to take action to end these outrages by holding to account those engaging in incitement or who otherwise encourage or aid these attacks. There can be no compromise or excuses for terrorism." "We support the government of Israel's efforts to take whatever measures are necessary to stop these outrages and stand in solidarity with the people of Israel."
