1. “The truth, sadly enough, is that the biggest enemy of the Palestinian people are the Palestinian Government and Palestinian non-governmental organizations, which are invited to take a seat at the table but would rather throw stones at it instead.”

2. “That is who the Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling characterized as a human rights activist in its report to the United Nations. But perhaps we should not be surprised with the Bolivian decision to invite such a person as its speaker of choice. Bolivia itself is far from being a role model for human rights, let alone peace and security, as is well documented in Bolivia's latest Universal Periodic Review. Israel, on the contrary, is a free and open society. What we do and how we do it is open for ongoing scrutiny, first and foremos by our very own courts, which are renowned for their strong stand on behalf of human rights, although, when it comes to Israel, the world is always watching as well. The facts are out there and are not hard to find.”

3. “However, Bolivia has chosen to invite Randa Siniora Atallah, the head of the Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling (WCLAC), which is a little more of a questionable choice. The Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling is a Palestinian organization that is supposed to assist Palestinian women and advocate on their behalf. But in too many cases WCLAC uses its mandate to spread hatred and promote violence, all the things that we believe women's involvement could diminish when it comes to issues of peace and security. WCLAC takes pride in Manal Tamimi as one of its key members, While Manal calls for violence against Israeli citizens and uses her social media accounts to describe how the vampire Jews presumably drink the blood of Palestinians on their High Holy Days.”

4. “Earlier today my colleague took her place around this table and expressed the need to have more women involved in matters of peace and security and portrayed some of the ways Israel promotes this agenda, including between Israelis and Palestinians hoping for a better future for both peoples. It is with regret that we take the floor once again to highlight the fact that those who should have advocated the agenda more than anyone else chose a different path. The Bolivian presidency of the Security Council has chosen to invite the head of a Palestinian non-governmental organization to speak on behalf of civil society. Civil society has a major role to play in promoting women's involvement in matters of peace and security, and in Israel civil society groups are key partners in that process.”
