"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?"

Die ehemalige UN-Menschenrechtskommissarin Navanethem Pillay bekommt den Friedensnobelpreis.

Zur Erinnerung: Vor vier Jahren wurde die südafrikanische Juristin von der Bürgermeisterin von Berlin wegen Antisemitismus-Vorwürfen boykottiert und ein Event mit ihr in Räumen des Rathauses verboten.

Navanethem Pillay ist eine weltweit angesehene Juristin. Dass sie das Vorgehen Israels in Gaza scharf verurteilt und als Genozid brandmarkt kommt in Israel, den USA und Deutschland schlecht an. Die Reaktion des Außenministeriums in Israel aber ist völlig indiskutabel! www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...
