Is Not Anti-Semitism
EAFORD’s Oral Intervention during the Tenth Session of Human Rights Council

has sent you a RealPlayer video link:
Item 7. Human
rights situation in To expose The international community can and should abhor the
slaughter of Palestinian women and children without being labeled
anti-Semitic. Zionism is a political
movement, not a religion; it is a colonialist, racist, ideology of conquest,
oppression, subjugation and control.
Zionism is Jews can be anti-Zionists, and anti-Semites can be
staunch Zionists. Some of the most adamant supporters of Zionist ideology
are not Jews, but some fundamentalist Christians. This agenda item does not
report on a religion but on a State’s discriminatory policies towards a
people who are Semitic too!
Occupation is not about religion: It is a nation’s
policy of aggression; its use of disproportionate force, and collective
punishment. When the atrocities committed on the people of Equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism poisons any
resolution; let it not deter us from our pursuit, the real goal which must
prevail: truth and justice. Thank you Mr. President. EAFORD 24 March 2009 |
