Israel Mad at UN Chief for 'nakba' Comments
posted 05-17-08
As they celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the establishment of Israel the UN chief's comments to the Palestinian leader, Abbas, using the word "nakba" (there are no capitals in Arabic, I heard) as reported by Israel radio (which is not, I repeat not, a propaganda arm of the government or at least right wing factions within the country) to Fatah chief and Palestinian (or at least West Bank) President Mahmoud Abbas has angered Israeli politicians (er leaders).
The report said the UN chief telephoned Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to express his solidarity with the Palestinians on the day they mark the "nakba," the Arabic word meaning "catastrophe" that is used in reference to the founding of the state of Israel.
Danny Carmon, Israel's deputy ambassador to the UN, told Israel Radio that the term "'nakba' is a tool of Arab propaganda used to undermine the legitimacy of the establishment of the State of Israel, and it must not be part of the lexicon of the UN."
And if he doesn't listen to them and follow orders they'll get their big brudda, the US, to beat him up!
The article continues showing the Israel is only interested in handing over the swiss cheese when Palestine is properly docile.
