Israel/Palestine

I hardly think the Israeli ambassador to the UN is an illiterate moron.
I would point out that his comment is with respect to (in this order): the UN, President Abbas, and and "major media outlets throughout the world".
In this respect, many articles in the US media would not need to be read to him as they have nothing to do with his argument.
His argument is that there is silence with respect to this particular recent series of rocket attacks in the UN (which is true), by President Abbas (which, as of now, is also true), and by "major media outlets throughout the world". This is true as well in that there are major media outlets throughout the world who have not really given much coverage to these recent incidents. That others, mostly in the US and Israel, have, does not render his argument false.
And it hardly calls for his being called an moron or illiterate. His observation is true - one wonders who is living in the fantasy world with respect to these observations.
Especially in light of your comments about "the brutal occupation of the Palestinian people" which neither the UN, nor President Abbas, nor major media outlets throughout the world are silent on.
