There Has Been No Genocide Against the Palestinians
(Times-UK) Alan Dershowitz - The Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain proposed the abolition of Holocaust Memorial Day and its replacement with Genocide Day, a holiday devoted to recognizing, among other genocides, the "mass murder of Muslims in Palestine." There has been no genocide against the Palestinian people. When Palestinian bombers target Israeli civilians, Israel refrains from targeting Palestinian civilians in turn. Many Palestinian civilians have died during the many Arab-Israeli wars and intifadas of the past several decades. But that number is dwarfed by the number of Palestinians and Arabs killed by Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Iran during the same period.
