Genocide For Some Isn't For Some Others

Jeff Endrst, United Nations, N.Y.

Transcribed from the clipping

A UN Commission on Human Rights fight over what the word covers. Egypt's delegate argues the Israelis copied the Nazis in Palestine against the Arabs; colonialism is called “slow genocide.” The same debate ranges over American Indians, Australian Aboriginals and apartheid South Africa.

Context added by this archive

News copy, and the accusation is attributed rather than made. Notable because it places Palestine inside the anticolonial argument about the word, twenty years after the Convention.
