UNESCO funded pro-Hitler Palestinian magazine
UN Watch demanding full investigation
The U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization funded a Palestinian children's magazine that published an article praising the Nazi genocide of six million Jews, reported Palestinian Media Watch last week. After a global outcry, UNESCO has now agreed to withdraw its support. UN Watch is demanding a full investigation.
UNESCO to stop support for Palestinian magazine
By Jordana Horn, Dec. 25, 2011
“UNESCO’s cancellation of funding for a Palestinian children’s magazine that extols Hitler and the mass murder of Jews is a belated step in the right direction, but it’s far from sufficient,” Hillel Neuer, executive director of Geneva-based NGO UN Watch, said. “How and why did UNESCO fund this hatred in the first place? Who was responsible?”
Neuer said UN Watch endorses the call to investigate the circumstances of the funding to make sure it doesn’t recur.
“UN officials cannot credibly demand accountability from others when they refuse to examine their own actions – especially those that incite to racial discrimination and genocide,” Neuer said. [1]
