just kidding... not really.

it was about time I used my transcribing skills



I just watched the press conference in Tel Aviv by Ban Ki-Moon and Livni. Here are the major points:

Ban Ki Moon for the UN: I come here with a mission. rocket attacks are horrible, we have always condemned them and still do. Israelis have to be secure. We understand Israel. We're also kind of sad about the bombardment of the UN compound a few hours ago, but I just talked to Barak about it and he said it was a mistake so I was like ok. Oh and there is this thing called a humanitarian crisis, and we are so very thankful to Israel for setting up a humanitarian center, they are so great. Thanks.

Livni for Israel: How many times do I have to say that we do not give a flying fuck about any of this? Oh also, this is not about Palestinians versus Israel, but about the free world versus the bad people, and this means that we are on the same side with the UN, the West and the legitimate Palestinian government of Abbas. Hamas does not share the same values we share here in the free world*. The humanitarian crisis is also important, but not so much. We just won't allow a situation where our citizens can't go to school in comfort, so yeah. We will continue to bomb the shit out of Gaza until the very end because that's what they deserve.

Watch the video if you don't believe me.
*This one is a direct quote. I think she means values like freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom to elect representatives, human rights, children's rights, ET CETERA.
