South Africa Minister Compares Israelis to Nazis in Written Statement Distributed by UN Human Rights Council

The UN Human Rights Council - the UN's top "human rights" body - continues to provide a platform for the dissemination of antisemitism during its current session in Geneva, Switzerland. On day two, March 4, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa, spoke to the Council and distributed a written statement now posted on the Council's web-site. In it she analogizes Israeli actions to that of the Nazis:

"It is a shame that people of Palestine...continue to have their rights trampled upon by the occupying force that has itself known what it is to be victimized in the same manner that it is victimizing and displacing Palestinian people."

Modern antisemitism thinly masquerading as human rights.
