Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon asks the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict to include in her periodic reports the terrorist incident in Ofra that led to the murder of Amiad Israel Ish-Ran, a three-day old baby.
“Children and young adults in the Palestinian Authority are indoctrinated and trained to hate Israel from a young age, through several means, starting from media propaganda to schoolbooks filled with messages of incitement and hatred. With such an upbringing, it is not long before young Palestinians apply these teachings, often to violent ends, such as the abominable attack seen in Ofra,” Danon writes to the special representative, Virginia Gamba.
“This brutal event is of great importance and so should be portrayed in the annual report on children and armed conflict, and issue a clear condemnation of Hamas’ continued attacks against innocent Israeli civilians, and wanton disregard for the safety and security of children and unborn babies.”
Amiad Israel was born by emergency C-section after a December 9 drive-by shooting in the West Bank and was pronounced dead four days later.
