Who cares when the PA violates human rights? – For the international community, the ICC, the international press, and human rights organizations, the disenfranchised, defenseless people in Palestinian society are just a sacrifice on the altar of slandering Israel. | israelhayom.com
Over the past decade, the Palestinian Authority has poured considerable energy into „branding“ itself internationally as a „champion of human rights“ and a victim of Israeli human rights violations. Among other things, after it was granted „non-member observer state“ status by the United Nations General Assembly, the PA joined a host of international conventions pertaining to human rights, including the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court at The Hague, and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the „Torture Convention“). Its goal in signing these conventions was two-fold: Establish the PA’s status as a state, and more importantly, to use these as a tool with which to bludgeon Israel.
