Don't forget the fact that many Zionist leaders embraced Hitler. For some reason, I doubt you are going to let the thread know all the nitty-gritty details on that. the rest of the world is embarrassed. More humanist types are indeed embarassed, including me. I am a fan of Amnesty International, and when they distanced themselves from the conference, I must agree with them. Oh, by the way, this is what Amnesty thinks about Israel: In Israel, prejudice against Palestinian citizens of Israel is widespread in the criminal justice system, both in the courts and in law enforcement methods. During demonstrations and riots in northern Israel last year, Israeli security forces used firearms and killed 13 Palestinian citizens. It took weeks of protests for a Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the killings to be set up. A border policewoman was later quoted as saying,"we handle Jewish riots differently. When such a demonstration takes place, it is obvious from the start that we do not bring our guns along." In the Israeli Occupied Territories, different laws apply to Jewish settlers and Palestinian residents. Palestinians are governed by more than 3,000 military orders, allowing for trials by military courts which are often unfair. Since 1967 thousands of Palestinian homes in the Occupied Territories have also been demolished ostensibly because they were built without a permit, but Israeli officials have discriminated against Palestinians when granting permissions and enforcing planning prohibitions.
