[ Who was behind the criticism and voting against Israel ?
Muslim countries which have taken over the UN and many other organizations in order to try to destroy Israel. No luck, not now, not ever again ]
The Israeli MKs said they walked out not because of Ghanim, but rather because the gathering approved a range of anti-Israel resolutions including a call for the release of convicted terrorists Marwan Barghouti and Ahmed Saadat.
Other motions passed also rebuked Israel for holding Hamas members of the Palestinian National Council in administrative detention.
Before they exited, Shai addressed the summit and criticized it for asking Israel to release Barghouti and Saadat.
“I innocently thought that the organization, like the entire world, is united in the struggle against terror, since terror endangers every country in every place at every moment in the world. You want to release convicted murderers from prison? I though you want to fight terror and not help it, but the reality is different.”
Shai told the gathering that Israel is committed to peace with its neighbors, including the Palestinians, “but it will not come at the expense of the uncompromising struggle against the spread of terror.”
Representatives of several countries condemned Israel, including Syria, Pakistan, Jordan and Kuwait. A Palestinian Authority representative also condemned Israel.
Haskel told the parliamentarians that some of those present had no right to be telling Israel how to behave democratically, given their own track records.
