GAZA (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned Israel for using "excessive" force in the Gaza Strip and demanded a halt to its offensive after troops killed 61 people on the bloodiest day for Palestinians since the 1980s.
Addressing an emergency session of the Security Council in New York after four days of fighting in which 96 Palestinians have been killed, many of them civilians, Ban also called on Gaza's Islamist militants to stop firing rockets.
The 1.5 million Palestinians crammed into the blockaded, 45 km (30-mile) sliver of coast, enjoyed a relative respite early on Sunday from Israeli air strikes and raids. Two Israeli soldiers died in a ground assault on Saturday. An Israeli civilian was killed by a rocket in a border town on Wednesday.
"While recognising Israel's right to defend itself, I condemn the disproportionate and excessive use of force that has killed and injured so many civilians, including children ... I call on Israel to cease such attacks," said Ban.
"I condemn Palestinian rocket attacks and call for the immediate cessation of such acts of terrorism," he said.
But with public anger boiling in Israel, there was no sign the government was ready to call off an offensive that took troops deeper into Gaza on Saturday and in larger numbers than at any time since Israel ended a 38-year occupation in 2005.
The Islamist Hamas movement, which seized control of Gaza last June by routing Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's forces, vowed to maintain what it says is a self-defence strategy unless Israel agrees to end all military action.
Areas from which Hamas has launched rockets that have killed three Israelis in the past year saw heavy clashes on the ground on Saturday and air strikes continued to pound buildings and homes that Israel said were used by militants. In some of these attacks, children as young as six months have been killed.

......in which 96 PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazis have been killed, many of them civilians..........
How can he differentiate between 'civilians' and combatants when the combatants are civilians? Last time I looked, terrorists didn't wear uniforms!
The IRA are CIVILIANS. The Baader Meinhoff Gang were CIVILIANS. The Viet Cong were CIVILIANS.
..........Ban also called on Gaza's Islamist militants to stop firing rockets.
Oh, I see. They're 'militants' , not terrorists. ::) I guess people who commit bombings, shootings and mass-murder are just college radicals!

Since when has the truth been an issue with Reuters?!
I think they have been owned and operated by some Arab musslim sheik for a while...

Ha Ha!
I love it!
Every single day the bastard scum called "The International Community" call for the Death of Israel.
But now that the Jews are doing a little killing, The UN is having a conniption fit!
If only Chaim was Prime Minister giving orders to the IDF!
Hey Ahmanigrajihad, if you're reading this, then you already know that you're just a filthy greasy n*gg*r piece of dogsh*t!
Your time is coming. We'll see to it.

I think we need to send Mr. Moon, back to where he came from
-
When the 90lb weakling picks a fight with an 800 lb gorilla I feel no sympathy for him when he gets his arms ripped out of their sockets.

Ban Ki Moon translated into English means "He who the chimpanzees attacked and ripped off his genitals and most of his face because he brought some birthday cake and gave it to the wrong chimp"!

Honestly, if you do anything that's 'condemned' by the UN, isn't that a sign you are on the right track?

I believe so! This is why Israel should pull out of the UN, stop listening to the U.S., and do whatever it is a sovereign nation does. FIGHT THE CURSED TERRORISTS WHO ATTACK YOU!

Agreed! The UN is the friend and safe haven of despots and human jackels who feed off the helpless and the innocent. They are no friend to Israel or the USA. I want them out of the USA and then I want NY City to take a long bath in bleach once the UN is gone.
It's gotten to the point that evil people aren't afraid of walking around in the daylight anymore. Watch out for Mark Malloch Brown. He's sniffing around for power anywhere he can find it and he's currently in the UN and George Soros' fair haired boy. He's a real nasty one to watch out for.
