Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly on Friday morning, Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan warned the global body supposedly meant to preserve peace and punish violence that it was about to make a grave mistake by voting to grant statehood membership status to "Palestine," making it a day that "will go down in infamy."

"Following the Allies' victory, this institution here, the United Nations, was founded with the mission of ensuring such tyranny never raises its ugly head again," Erdan reminded of the UN's founding in the wake of Hitler's terror. "Today, you're about to do the exact opposite and advance the establishment of a Palestinian terror state which will be led by the Hitler of our time," he declared. 

"In the 1940s, the world united to destroy a murderous regime — yet today, with sick and twisted irony, the very body established to prevent evil is now welcoming a terror state into its ranks," Israel's representative to the UN reiterated. "What would Churchill say if he were alive today? What would Roosevelt think? They are turning in their graves."
