Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN Rafael Ramirez accused Israel of implementing a "final solution" against the Palestinians in the UN Security Council on Friday.

"Is Israel trying to impose a 'final solution' on the Palestinians in the West Bank?" Ramirez asked at the Security Council meeting.

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon immediately condemned the statement, and Ramirez apologized to "the Jewish people, if they were offended by my statement."

The declaration occurred while the Yesh Din organization was presenting statistics pertaining to law enforcement as it relates to crimes of an ideological nature carried out by Israeli citizens against Palestinians, and the effects of the lack of law enforcement on the Palestinians who live in the West Bank to the UN Security Council.
Yesh Din representative Michael Sfard also presented the organization's assertion that the violence carried out against Palestinians is designed to drive them off of their land.

4. Anti-Semitic rhetoric like this has no place in the UN.

Besides, Yesh Din is doing an excellent job, and I don't want an idiot from Venezuela detract from that.
