UN Palestinian Ambassador Mansours Powerful Speech to the UN:
"We are watching the same failings in stopping Israeli atrocities in Palestine repeat themselves in Lebanon. Is our blood cheap? Are our civilians less worthy of protection? Are our lives less sacred? What else could explain that Israel for a whole year has gotten away with murder and keeps extending the scope of suffering and loss without being stopped? Because you are not acting, either as a group or in your national capacity - some of you. Did you grow accustomed to our death? Did you grow accustomed to seeing entire neighbourhoods flattened on the heads of their inhabitants, children, women, men, elderly? This is now the new normal? Did you get accustomed to the Israeli Prime Minister ignoring and insulting the world and still expecting its support? Still expecting your weapons, your trade, your relations to serve his colonial agenda? Israel must be stopped. It can not have a veto right over the ceasefire. Or there will be no ceasefire. The Israeli government does not care about Palestinian lives, or Lebanese lives, or even Israeli lives. It has created insecurity for a century. Israel will protect its occupation and domination at any cost, and Netanyahu will protect Netanyahu at any cost."
