PLO:s ambassadör:Inga judar i en palestinsk stat

PLO:s ambassadör i USA sade i en intervju igår att den palestinska staten skall var fri från judar.
I fall palestinierna får upprätta en egen stat blir det på ett område som varit judarnas historiska hemland i tusentals år, Judéen och Samarien.
Området skall alltså enligt ambassadören rensas från judar om en palestinsk stat bildas. Ett sådant uttalande borde få alla mänskorättsaktivister att skrika sig hesa i protest men nästan ingen höjer ens på ögonbrynet. Tydligen förväntar man sig inte att en palestinsk stat skall leva upptill en normal standard vad gäller mänskliga rättigheter.
