UN gets it right for once!
The UN's anti-racism committee criticized the Palestinians for the first time in history, calling on Ramallah to combat "hate speech and incitement to violence."
It reported that it was "concerned" about statements by Palestinian officials, as well as in
school textbooks, that promote "hate speech against Israelis" which it found "fuels hatred" and "may incite violence" and "antisemitism."
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) further called on the Palestinians to
"remove any derogatory comments and images from school curricula and textbooks that perpetuate prejudices and hatred."
Teaching the kids to hate eh?
Like that's news!
The panel found that Palestinians laws and policies failed to implement UN treaties on racism, or to properly investigate complaints for acts of racial discrimination.
(Hardly surprising. Even the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) has been tweaked in order to make it halal).
The 18 independent experts reviewed the Palestinian record and those of six other countries at a session that ended on Thursday, when they issued their findings.
So even the UN are finally realising where the trouble is being created.
