A UN Security Council debate turns into a shouting match between the Israeli and Palestinian ambassadors, who exchange cries of “Shame on you!” over the ongoing violence.
Israel’s envoy Danny Danon breaks away from his address to the council and demands that the Palestinian representative condemn acts of terrorism.
“Shame on you for glorifying terrorism!” Danon says.
“Shame on you for killing Palestinian children!” Riyad Mansour shoots back.
After being called to order by the council president, Danon once again turns to Mansour and says: “You cannot say it here. Palestinian children are looking at you right now.
“‘I condemn all acts of terrorism’: one sentence you cannot say. Shame on you for that,” he insists.
“Let my people be free! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! You are an occupier,” Mansour hits back.
