Danny Danon, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, has reacted harshly to a letter by Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti which was distributed to the members of the Security Council, in which Barghouti compared himself to the late South African president Nelson Mandela and described the Israeli legal system as “judicial apartheid.”
Referring to the Islamic State terror movement, Danon said, “Barghouti is a terrorist and a murderer. His actions glorify death and bloodshed are no different than those of ISIS which seeks to spread its hateful ideology throughout the world using terror.”
