WEST BANK (Dispatches) – The Palestinian Authority (PA) says anti-Semitism claims encourage the Zionist regime to continue its aggression and racism against Palestinians and encourages it to violate international law, Wafa news agency reported.
In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, the PA expressed its concerns that some countries deal with the occupied Palestinians in the same way they deal with the Zionist occupiers. “They are dealing with the victim and victimizer in the same way,” the statement conveyed.
The statement also pointed out that many countries “do not criticize Israel in order to not be accused of being anti-Semites,” stressing that this encourages the occupying regime to continue its aggression and its violations of international law.
“The fear of some states being accused of being anti-Semites give international immunity to the Zionist regime to carry out more crimes and helps it evade being held accountable for its crimes and violations of international law,” the PA expressed in the statement.
The PA stressed that stopping the regime’s aggression, punishing it over its crimes and holding it accountable for perpetuating the occupation: “Are the responsibility of the international community, mainly the United Nations Security Council.”
Meanwhile, the PA asserted: “There is a dangerous escalation in the Israeli attacks against al-Quds, due to the lack of accountability,” noting that: “Israel is taking advantage of the silence of the international community and is accelerating the steps of displacement and demographic change in al-Quds in an attempt to undermine the foundations of peace.”
The PA also indicated that the continuous raids of Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Zionist regime and the repeated aggression on the Palestinians would undermine the ongoing efforts to reach a stable ceasefire.
