We must wake up to human rights abuses by Arabs in Palestinian Gaza

It’s remarkable how selective apologists for the myth of a Palestinian state are about what offends them.

Brendan O’Brien (Irish Examiner, Letters, June 13) calls for a boycott of an Israeli film and TV festival, but has nothing to say about women in Palestinian Gaza living under Sharia Law.

Nor has he anything to say about the context of the books used in Palestinian schools, which perpetuate the same disgusting images of Jewish people that the Germans used. No other political authority is so openly racist. Not even in apartheid South Africa did the white government depict native Africans in such terms as Palestinians depict Jewish people.
