A new report by the United Nations has found that 22 percent of Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza are malnourished. The report was written by a Swiss sociologist named Jean Ziegler who works for the UN as an expert on starvation. Israel responded to the new report by calling on the UN to fire Ziegler. Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told journalists yesterday that Ziegler “attacks Israel on every occasion… We have asked the Commission on Human Rights to consider the possibility of ending his mandate.”
