Israel/Palestine
In reply to the discussion: Lessons on hypocrisy from Syria [View all]oberliner
(58,724 posts)18. That wasn't the claim though
The claim was that the world ignored the fact that "... 6,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes in Ein al-Tal" - which is certainly a more reasonable claim than that the world has ignored the situation in Syria (which is not what is claimed in the quote you excerpted).
With respect to what is actually claimed in the quote, do you know if there there any UN resolutions condemning that expulsion?

You're right. We all did because there was none. And that's the problem, isn't it? n/t
