Israeli media condemns Dutch parliament’s hypocrisy
Baku, October 21, AZERTAC
Israel’s popular Economic Peace Center has published an article by Rachel Abraham, an Israeli political analyst and journalist, CEO of the Dona Gracia Center for Diplomacy, headlined “Standing against Dutch hypocrisy”.
“While the Dutch authorities mistreat the Jews who live within their borders, they have the audacity to condemn Azerbaijan’s treatment of the Armenians in Karabakh by adopting biased resolutions on the subject,” the author noted.
“Azerbaijan has always protected all Armenian holy sites within her borders, including an Armenian church in Baku. They have done more to protect Armenian heritage sites than the Dutch have done to protect Jewish holy sites in the Netherlands,” Avraham mentioned.
“Yet, the Dutch parliament has the audacity to condemn Azerbaijan and to also maintain neocolonial policies in the Caribbean, highlighting how it is not acceptable for Azerbaijan to reclaim her territorial integrity but it is acceptable for the Dutch to violate the sovereignty of other nations,” she emphasized.
“It was recently reported that the new Dutch Cabinet’s program asserts that legislative and strategic initiatives will be implemented in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, allegedly aimed at improving their welfare. However, the Baku Initiative Group has blasted this move, arguing that these territories, while supposedly autonomous, are fully dependent on the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Furthermore, these territories have been removed from the UN list of non-self-governing territories, raising concerns about premature and unjust exclusions from decolonization efforts. BIG has requested the Dutch government to respect the freedom and self-determination of the Caribbean islands and not to impede their pursuit of independence. So far, the Dutch have not heeded BIG’s request, while they continue to condemn Azerbaijan and fail to protect the Jewish community in the Netherlands. This highlights how much the Dutch are hypocritical,” Avraham underlined.
“The time has come for the world to stand up to Dutch hypocrisy by insisting that they stop to colonize islands in the Caribbean, refrain from harassing Azerbaijan and start to protect the Jews living within their borders,” the author emphasized.
