“This statement is necessitated by decades of discrimination against the Palestinian people. Today this discrimination is reflected in Israel’s military occupation of Palestinian land, the containment of millions of Palestinians in refugee camps and the systematic attacks on the lives and property of people under occupation. Blatant prejudice is evident when Palestinians, engaged in a peaceful pursuit of nationhood, are depicted as terrorists, stigmatised on religious or ethnic grounds or characterised as an inferior people. Anti-Palestinian prejudice can also target media, institutions, students and academics if they criticise Israel or sympathise with the Palestinian people.”
