Multiple UN Secretaries-General have condemned the UN's "Human Rights Council" (UNHRC) for its systemic bias and discrimination against #Israel, and it's only getting worse.
According to leading historians, most of the 500-750,000 Palestinian refugees from 1948 fled to escape a war of destruction that Palestinian leaders & Arab states launched against #Israel. A small minority were expelled by Israeli forces or left because Arab forces told them to.
This refugee crisis (which Palestinians call the #Nakba) was followed by nearly 850,000 Jews fleeing or being expelled from Arab states. There is no comparison between these tragedies and the #Holocaust - an industrial-scale genocide in which the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews.
@GEICO, by now you've heard a lot of people are upset that you gave a platform to Linda Sarsour. Here's a summary of her long track record of spreading hate:
Sarsour has close ties to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a racist, #antisemitic & homophobic hate group, according to @splcenter. Sarsour pays NOI members to act as her security detail & embraces their hateful leader Louis Farrakhan.
We take no position on the NYC Mayoral race, but strongly oppose efforts to intimidate leaders who take a stand against BDS, which is a campaign of hate.
The purpose of BDS is not to protest Israeli policies as some claim, but to isolate and pressure Israel until it collapses as a Jewish and democratic state. Furthermore, BDS actively harms peace efforts by opposing Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.
Many activists on Twitter have been falling all over themselves to defend Linda Sarsour (@lsarsour).
Here's a reminder of her record:
In 2011, she tweeted the grotesquely offensive statement below, which was especially disturbing because Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a survivor of female genital mutilation.
Sarsour has close ties to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a racist, #antisemitic & homophobic hate group, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Sarsour pays NOI members to act as her security detail & embraces their hateful leader, @LouisFarrakhan.
