Danny Danon, Israel's new ambassador to the United Nations, is urging the Security Council to make a statement against what he described as "the incitement that fuels terror".
During his speech he held up a piece of card with a diagram of a human body entitled "How to Stab a Jew", which he says is "an example of what Palestinian children are being exposed to day in and day out, in school, after school".
He said: "When a Palestinian child returns from school and opens (sic) the television, he doesn't see Barney or Donald Duck, he sees murderers portrayed as heroes. When he opens a textbook, he doesn't learn about math and science, he's being taught to hate."
Holding up the picture, he said: "We talk about a lot about incitement here you see what Palestinian incitement looks like.
Mr Danon accused Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas of leading the "dangerous incitement" and of "spreading lies" saying Israel is trying to change the delicate status quo at Jerusalem's holiest site the al Aqsa Mosque.
The mosque has been at the root of recent tensions, which have seen attacks, deaths and injuries on both sides. It is revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and it is also Islam's third-holiest site.
Mr Danon said Israel would not agree to any international presence at the compound, adding that "any such intervention would violate the decades-long status quo".
The emergency council meeting - called by Arab states amid increasing violence in the region - highlighted the deepening bitterness and distrust between the two sides after decades of conflict.
Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian ambassador to the UN, told the council the issue of protection "has become more urgent than any time before" because of what he called Israeli aggression "against our defenceless Palestinian people", including at the al Aqsa.
The words come just hours after a Palestinian man posed as a journalist before stabbing and injuring an Israeli soldier. (Hot link)
The soldier's colleagues then killed the attacker.
Over the past month, eight Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them stabbings. In that time, 31 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, including 14 described by Israel as attackers. The rest were killed in clashes with Israeli troops.
