“If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.”

A great quote by Aba even ,regarding the UN resolutions against Israel .

For example, Hen Mazzig (an Israeli who spent several years in the US working as an educator for StandWithUs) relates the following story: “A professor asked me if I knew how many Palestinians have been raped by IDF forces. I answered that as far as I knew, none. She triumphantly responded that I was right, because, she said, ‘You IDF soldiers don’t rape Palestinians because Israelis are so racist and disgusted by them that you won’t touch them.’”[33]

In 2011, a radical academic named Sarah Schulman (PIDS category: anti-Zionist Jews) condemned promotion of Israel’s achievements in LGBTQ rights as “pinkwashing,” “a deliberate strategy to conceal the continuing violations of Palestinians’ human rights behind an image of modernity signified by Israeli gay life.” [34]
