Israeli Defense Minister Knocks UN for Ignoring When Palestinians Kill Palestinians

"Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman slammed the United Nations on Wednesday for ignoring the Palestinian- on-Palestinian killings in Gaza and Lebanon, while regularly condemning 'justified Israeli actions against terrorism.'

Liberman's comments, according to his spokesman, came during a telephone conversation on Wednesday with the UN's Mideast envoy Nikolay Mladenov.

According to the statement, Liberman protested that the UN is ignoring a number of killings and executions that have happened in recent days among the Palestinians in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in Lebanon, as well as in Gaza.

'The international community's ignoring dozens of dead and wounded shows again the hypocrisy and the double standard that the world employs by ignoring these grave incidents, while on the other hand condemning Israel's justified actions against terrorism,' he said.

Liberman, according to the statement, expects that the issue of intra-Palestinian killings will be raised at the next meeting of the UN Security Council.

Fighting between Fatah and a Sunni Islamist group in the Ain el-Hilweh refugee camp in Lebanon has killed at least four people, and wounded dozens more, in more than a week of fighting there.

And in Gaza, Hamas executed three men earlier this month for allegedly collaborating with Israel.

Mladenov's office issued a 'no comment' when asked about the phone call..."
