#1 " She said Ban "calls on all Palestinian factions to cease immediately all acts of violence. He calls on President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and the Palestinian Authority government to bring violence to an end and restore calm."

There done! Let's do lunch.

#4 "Equally unacceptable is the firing by Palestinian militants of rockets into Israel, targeting and injuring civilians"

Holy crap! I can't believe the UN said this without first accusing Israel of provoking the palis and escalating tensions, and without first having to be accused of being pali-partisan!!

I'm sure it's a mistake. Won't happen again.

#5 Did you see what was left out of this condemnation of Palestinian violence?

No mention of Israeli blame for this, that, or the other.

Wonder where the EU will send its money now?

#6 Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday was "profoundly concerned" at the escalation of violence in Gaza among Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas, and the growing number of casualties on both sides

That's a feature, not a bug.

#7 UN chief frowns with concern in general direction of Gaza

No news here. It's what they been doing for decades, although usually more in Israel's direction. Must have been some sort of slip.
