UNRWA: Palestinians react to occupation
 The outgoing commissioner general of UNRWA, Peter Hansen, has warned of picturing the Palestinians as evildoers and warned that "Israeli" democracy had its limits. Hansen, who is Danish, said that "terrorism" does not emanate from nothing and Palestinians only react to occupation that could take place in any country. He told a Danish newspaper that no one could say that the "Israeli Arabs" were enjoying full rights similar to the "Israeli Jews".The commissioner, whose tenure was not renewed on the part of the UN secretary general Kofi Annan due to USA and Zionist pressures, said that democracy was only enjoyed by the Jewish people in "Israel". Hansen is to end his term in office by 13th March after nine years of leading the Agency. Posted by: Fred 2005-02-09 |
