At UN Conference, "Israeli-Palestinian Peace" Means Delegitimization of Israel

Moscow is playing host to a two-day conference, entitled "UN International Meeting in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace," and sponsored by the UN's Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.

The event featured Knesset Member Ahmad Tibi, who used the UN opportunity to delegitimize and harm the same state in which he serves as an elected member of the legislature. The UN press release reports that Tibi:

• "commended all States, businesses and organizations that supported the movement to boycott Israel and called on the international community to adopt a legal position to end settlement expansion in the West Bank and the Judaization of East Jerusalem."
• said the Israeli government is actively working to ensure " the Israeli apartheid became systematic."
• "We [Arabs] are the rightful owners of the country, we are not guests."
