Israeli Racism in Theory and Practice 6 Middle East Monitor | A Report | October 2009
INTRODUCTION “Anti-Semitism is no longer the hatred of and discrimination against Jews as a religious or ethnic group; in the age of Zionism, we are told, anti- Semitism has metamorphosed into something that is more insidious. Today, Israel and its Western defenders insist genocidal anti-Semitism consists mainly of any attempt to take away and to refuse to uphold the absolute right of Israel to be a Jewish racist state.” 1 At the United Nations World Conference against Racism held in Durban in 2001, there was significant focus on Israel’s discriminatory practices and treatment of Palestinians coupled with renewed debate analogous to UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 which in 1975 equated Zionism with racism. Such focus no doubt reflects the growing world-wide consensus and repulsion at these practices. Humanitarians and human rights defenders the world over, from Archbishop Desmond Tutu to Jimmy Carter and Noam Chomsky, in accordance with international law and numerous UN resolutions, condemn Israel as a military occupation implementing racist policies against the non- Jewish populations both inside its territory and those it occupies. Yet, meaningful public debate of this pressing issue remains taboo and its very existence is generally ignored - the US stormed out of the Durban conference decrying it as ‘anti-Israel’ and ‘anti-Semitic’ while the EU refused to pass judgment. During deliberation of the 1975 “Zionism is racism” resolution in the UN, Israel itself conceded that it discriminated against Arabs, but argued Israeli Racism in Theory and Practice Middle East Monitor | A Report | October 2009 1
