Whether Israelis will ever comprehend the irreparable damage inflicted on their country’s reputation by their UN ambassador, Danny Danon, is a moot point. The damage Israel has done to itself through its barbaric practices in the Occupied Territories is simply impossible to overcome. Danon, however, utilizes a peculiar approach to defending Israel within international institutions: he relies on bullying, intimidation and an overt attempt to silence anyone who dares to challenge the official Israeli narrative — particularly female leaders.
