Palestine Human Rights Campaign Deplores Desecration of Jewish Graves in Wellington

The Palestine Human Rights Campaign (PHRC) deplores the reported desecration of Jewish graves in Wellington and condemns all forms of racism, including that practised by the State of Israel.

The PHRC identifies itself with the efforts of those Jewish people throughout the world who are attempting to reform the behaviour of the Israeli State. The PHRC respects the great religious tradition of Judaism and draws a sharp distinction between the teachings of Judaism and the conduct of Israel's rulers.

Israel's present policies play into the hands of racists and make the world more dangerous for people of every race.
