Israel's UN mission: Ban use of 'Nakba'

I think Palestinian victims of Nakba should propose to Ban Ki-Moon that the use of the word "Holocaust" should be banned because commemoration of Holocaust means celebration of Nakba and see how Israelis will feel about such an outrageous proposal.

Israel's UN mission is seeking to outlaw use of the term Nakbah, according to a statement issued Thursday night by a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon.
Deputy head of Israel's UN mission, Daniel Carmon, complained that the word Nakba is meant to undermine the legitimacy of Israel's founding and, therefore, use of the term should be should be forbidden.
Ban telephoned Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday night and expressed empathy with the Palestinian people in honor of Nakba Day.
Also Thursday night, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said that when there is true peace with the Palestinians, they will no longer observe Nakba Day to mourn the creation of the State of Israel.

I think Hamas and Hezbolah might collaborate to thwart the Israeli hegemony.
