‘Shame on you,’ Israel’s UN envoy tells B’Tselem chief at Security Council

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN heckles B’Tselem director Hagai El-Ad at a Security Council meeting on Israel and the Palestinians, telling him in Hebrew: “Shame on you. Shame on you, you collaborator.”

Danny Danon argues that by bringing an Israeli to the Security Council, the Palestinians have proven the strength of Israel’s vibrant democracy.

“Find a Palestinian… who could dare defame his government at the Security Council,” he says. “At best he would be thrown in jail. But more likely he would be killed.”
