Leaders of major Jewish organizations are accusing U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of being one-sided in his handling of the crisis in Gaza.
Rabbi Marvin Hier said that a delegation of organizations including the Anti-Defamation League met Wednesday with the U.N. chief to express their concerns. They pressed the U.N. to investigate rocket attacks by Hamas on Israel’s civilian population.
A spokesman for Ban said an official response was forthcoming shortly.
Ban has taken a tough stance on Israel, especially on the deadly attacks on U.N. schools that have been sheltering civilians. But he has also repeatedly demanded that Gaza stop firing rockets at Israel and blamed Hamas for violating an earlier cease-fire.

Ban’s stance has not been proportionate. Now why does that surprise anyone?
Really? The UN being unfair and biased?
Naah, it can’t be. Surely someone would have noticed by now if that were true…
The way we counter anti-Semites is not by confronting them and saying “please don`t hate me”, for thousands of years that didn`t work, what changed?
Why didn’t they ask him to investigate the returning of rockets to Hamas by the UNRWA and their consensus of their schools and hospitals to be used by Hamas to launch rockets?
ban should be banned from this earth. I can’t believe anybody that could think the UN serves a purpose.Blood suckers and anti-semities is what the whole organization is about. Worthless was of space in New York and worthless org to give money for. I don’t believe a word they say. The only critize Israel and do nothing in Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran. the useless org let syria take over Lebanon and DID NOTHING
He demanded that Hamas stop firing? And what is he going to do if they disobey his demands? Nothing!

Imagine that Israel was firing without stop on random civilians would he let them get away also?
Stop saying comments and causing people dear brother you are in gals
Has he investigated 200,000 women – men and children killed in Syria.
Yes – I said 200,000 and growing !
Admittedly I only read the headline and not the rest of the story and this comment is a response to the headline.
Where have these guys been for the last 50 years. This is suddenly a chiddush that the UN is one sided? They woke up one morning and suddenly realized this?

I don’t understand why they’re wasting their time with this loser. He’s probably the dumbest guy on earth. Or maybe a close second to kerry.
