| Israeli hate speech against Palestinians tripled in 2021: Egyptian human rights coalition |

| [AlAhram] Egyptian Coalition for Human Rights and Development (ECHRD) issued a report on Thursday detailing a threefold increase in Israeli hate speech and incitement against Paleostinians on social media in 2021 over 2020 and describing its long term harms. This, as is usual from these groups, completely ignores Palestinian anti-Israel/Jew hate speech that’s been consistently official — from the Palestinian government, television, school lessons — since the 1930s, not to mention anti-Jew violence throughout the same period. But according to their protectors the suffering Arabs are compelled by their emotions in this, while the Jews are held to a higher standard. In a report titled "Hate Speech and Apartheid in the Occupied Paleostinian Territories" issued Thursday, the ECHRD stated that hate speech against Paleostinians is rooted in racist Israeli educational curriculum and news media that is responsible for implanting hatred since childhood on.The report also stated that the expansionist settlement policy has resulted in the Paleostinians being subjected to discriminatory apartheid laws favouring Jewish settlers. "Most of those who live in the settlements are from Death Eater Jewish groups that advocate the Jewishness of the state and play a role in provoking and inflaming the feelings of Paleostinians with open hate speech and incitement to violence against them," according to the report. The report also referred to the increasing international recognition of the state of affairs in the occupied territories, which invites parallels to other historical cases of apartheid. "In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in condemnation (within the international political discourse) of the apartheid regime, which was associated with the settlement regime in South Africa and ended in 1994... As a result of the control tools used by Israel in the occupied territories of 1967, there has been a political and geographical reality based on ethnic and hierarchical segregation in parallel with the ongoing Judaisation," the report stated. The report mentioned the corrosive long-term harm of such a project, saying "The government does not care about the dangerous political and moral effects of the settlements project, nor the systematic violations of human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. of the Paleostinians who have been under Israeli military rule for fifty years." Moreover, the Israeli leadership is not interested in the presence of two judicial systems in the occupied territories, one for the Paleostinians and the other for Israelis. This trend has led to a flood of bills proposing direct or indirect annexation, culminating in the enactment of the 2016 settlements law. The report concluded Israel cannot be considered a democratic country as it is enshrining racial segregation and discrimination in law. Instead, the government is consolidating a racist colonial legacy through ethnic cleansing and the deliberate denial of the rights of indigenous peoples on their historical land, including their their historical right to their land and property. |

| #1 completely ignores Palestinian anti-Israel/Jew hate speech that’s been consistently official Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism The report also stated that the expansionist settlement policy has resulted in the Paleostinians being subjected to discriminatory apartheid laws favouring Jewish settlers. The UN came to the same conclusion. The report concluded Israel cannot be considered a democratic country as it is enshrining racial segregation and discrimination in law. Oh, it's democratic all right. The US used to have similar laws and we were a democracy. But we fought a civil war to get rid of them. What path will Israel take to get rid of its ugly racial laws? |
