Israeli Ambassador Protests UN Silence on Hamas Atrocities by Wearing Yellow Star

Israel's UN ambassador, Gilad Erdan, wore a yellow star, a symbol Jews were forced to wear by the Nazis, during a meeting of the UN Security Council to protest the council's silence on Hamas "atrocities." Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, criticized Erdan's action and urged him to wear the Israeli flag instead. The Security Council has not adopted any resolutions on the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, leading Erdan to wear the yellow star as a symbol of pride until the council condemns Hamas.
