Criticizing antisemitism is criticizing Palestinians, according to Palestinians.
Palestinians got the Arab League to issue a statement of condemnation against - Germany. Because Germany doesn't like antisemitism, and therefore their criticizing Mahmoud Abbas' antisemitism (and his non-apology) is an anti-Palestinian stance.
The General Secretariat of the League of Arab States expressed its rejection and surprise at what appeared to be a German campaign of bullying against Palestine and President Abu Mazen, commenting on his use of the term "Holocaust" to express the Israeli crimes committed against the Palestinian people, which takes matters out of their proper context.An official source in the General Secretariat expressed, in a statement today, Friday, the condemnation of some German reactions, which went too far, and in an unprecedented manner and without a convincing and rational justification, in demonizing the Palestinians and underestimating their enormous suffering for decades, as if the facts were turned on their head and the victim turned into the real culprit, and the Israeli occupation turned into a victim.The source added that the Arab League understands the weight of the historical legacy on contemporary German governments and to the same extent that it understands the sensitivity and privacy of the term "Holocaust" and the heinous and condemned crimes associated with it. However, this should not turn into an entry point for scoring political points against the Palestinian cause and its leader, which contributes not only to obliterating the daily Palestinian suffering from the crimes of the occupation, but also to benefiting from the occupying power at the expense of the afflicted Palestinian people.The source concluded his statement by noting that it is important and in everyone's interest to put a quick end to the media and political exchanges on this issue.
As far as I can tell, no German official said anything against Palestinians. Which proves that antisemitism is central to Palestinian philosophy, and any attack on antisemitism is regarded as an attack on Palestinians.
There is rarely such a clear moment that proves that "anti-Zionism" is simply antisemitism in a new package.
