UN is “Shocked” That Hamas is Celebrating its Own Terror Attack
By Abra Forman June 9, 2016
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon revealed his willful ignorance about Hamas’s true nature when he expressed “shock” at the terror organization’s leadership’s glee and pride over the killing of four and wounding of sixteen in a Tel Aviv terror attack on Wednesday night.
Four Israelis were killed and sixteen injured when two Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a Max Brenner restaurant in Tel Aviv’s downtown Sarona Market, a popular nightspot. Three of the injured remain in serious condition at Ichilov Hospital.
Among the killed were Ido Ben Ari, 42, a father of two, who had been dining with his family; Michael Feige, 58, a professor of Israeli studies at Ben Gurion University; Ilana Naveh, 39; and Mila Misheiv, 32.
Hamas, which the US State Department defines as a terror organization, claimed responsibility for the attack in an official Twitter statement, acknowledging the two terrorists as Hamas members and calling the shooting “heroic”.
The attack was “a message from children of the resistance to leaders of the occupation”, said Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
He added that the shooting spree was only “the first surprise in store for the Zionist enemy during Ramadan.”

UN Secretary-General “Shocked” that Hamas Terrorists Applaud Terror Attack in Tel Aviv
By Jay Sekulow
The international community once again revealed its hypocrisy in the aftermath of the latest terrorist attacks in Tel Aviv’s Sarona Market, leaving four dead and more than a dozen injured. Most reports indicate that these jihadist terrorists disguised themselves as Orthodox Jews before opening fire on Israeli civilians.
Reports have revealed that the two terrorists have family ties to Hamas. Unsurprisingly, Hamas praised the attacks as “heroic” and “a message from children of the resistance to leaders of the occupation.” The Hamas leader then stated that this attack would only be “the first surprise in store for the Zionist enemy during Ramadan,” the Islamic holy month during which there is often a rise in terrorist attacks carried out against Israel.
The radical Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) said the attacks were a “natural response” to the “violations” of an “Israeli occupation.”
How did U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon respond to this? Certainly, since he often condemns Israel for “excessive force” on the world’s stage for defending itself against terrorist attacks, you would think he would condemn Hamas since its very charter calls for the absolute destruction of Israel and Jewish people around the world, right?
Wrong.
Ban Ki-moon said in a statement that “there is no justification for terrorism nor for the glorification of those who commit such heinous acts.” He went on to state that he is “shocked that the leaders of Hamas have chosen to welcome this attack and some have chosen to celebrate it,” calling upon “the Palestinian leadership to live up to their responsibility to stand firmly against violence and the incitement that fuels it.”
“Shocked?” The Secretary-General of the U.N. is “shocked” that a terrorist group whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel and which has a long history of jihadist violence against Israel would applaud jihadist terror attacks on Israeli civilians. It’s utterly absurd. It’s infuriating.
Could he be any more naïve or ignorant? The Palestinian Authority itself issued a carefully worded statement rejecting any operations that target civilians without even mentioning the Tel Aviv terrorist attack. There were fireworks and celebrations in Hebron, the region the terrorist attackers are reportedly from.
But this can’t be surprising when international leaders like Ban Ki-moon show such willful ignorance, even going so far as to say, “It is human nature to react to occupation.”
