Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations delivered a blistering takedown of the “false, immoral comparisons” exhibited by the global body’s top human-rights official in responding to Hamas’s massacre of civilians over the weekend.

U.N. high commissioner for human rights Volker Turk has condemned the terrorist attack, and in a statement yesterday said that he was appalled by the killings. While extensively condemning “horrifying mass killings by members of Palestinian armed groups,” he did not name Hamas directly.
