The UN's special envoy on Middle East peace has equated a Palestinian terrorist slaughtering a family in their home during a Sabbath dinner and Israeli security forces engaging in self-defense against violent Palestinian rioters. According to a press statement by the UN Secretary-General's Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov on July 24, 2017, both incidents deserve the same condemnation.
In his words:
"We have seen Palestinians being killed in clashes with Israeli security forces. We have seen an Israeli family being slaughtered in a terrorist attack in a settlement in the West Bank. All incidents deserve the full condemnation of the international community and our thoughts and prayers must go out to the families of the victims."
