Hey Beelzebub, would you turn up the heat…
Posted on January 30, 2007
The following statement was issued today by the Spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon:
The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s suicide bombing at a bakery in Eilat, Israel, which killed three people and wounded another. Such acts of terrorism are a violation of international humanitarian law and can never be justified. The Secretary-General sends his deepest condolences to the families of the victims of this attack.
The Secretary-General is also alarmed at announcements that further attacks against Israeli civilians are being planned. He calls for swift action by Palestinian security forces to bring to justice those responsible and prevent further attacks.
No qualification (”…but we must understand the Palestinians’ plight…”) and full responsibility placed where it should be. I hope Ban is for real. The UN will be useless and even dangerous no matter what one guy does, but if statements like this are any indication, at least someone is trying to restore some credibility to this destructive body.
