UN does the unthinkable, they criticize Palestinians

[dead0man]

In a historic first, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) urged the PA to combat “hate speech and incitement to violence,” pointing out that some textbooks used in Palestinian schools “fuel hatred” and “may incite violence” and “antisemitism.”

The CERD further called on the Palestinians to “remove any derogatory comments and images from school curricula and textbooks that perpetuate prejudices and hatred.”

In addition, 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.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

They're not wrong.

[Coldstream]

You’d think this was a pretty basic low standard the UN should adhere to.

Palestinians have had it too easy for too long

I don't know about that, but they certainly have had a lot of White Knights making excuses for their rather obvious racism for too long.

Smh.

Smh.

yeah, it's crazy that it took so long....I mean, they had to have noticed, right?

Racism and bigotry are unacceptable anywhere.

Everyone should be held to the same standards and criticized when they engage in it.

I think it's a bit more concerning that according to many polls the vast majority of Palestinians support suicide attacks. The entire culture is beyond barbaric. It may not be their fault, no doubt their destitution has contributed to this, but it's something that cannot be ignored if the 2 state solution is ever going to be a serious possibility.

As long as the targets are legitimate targets of war, I don't think it is necessarily wrong.

are you like Xahar and think every Jew beyond the Green Line is a legit target?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

No.
