Czech university professor: "No Palestinians have ever existed. They are a Soviet invention"

Britské listy.cz 25.10.2024 15:00 Quite remarkably, the Central European country the Czech Republic has recently excluded itself from the company of civilised nations when it started uncritically supporting Israel's murderous campaign against the Palestinians in Gaza and the Lebanese in Lebanon. Recently,  Czech government Minister for European Affairs Martin Dvořák said on public service Czech TV that "Palestinians are genetically determined to hate everything Israeli". His racist statement remained uncorrected during the TV broadcast. Dvořák later published an anodyne "apology" on Twitter for his racist assertion, however, he did not apologise to Palestinians. Czech Defence Secretary Jana Černochová liked a tweet by Pavel Novotný, a local politician who said that the Palestinians are "monkeys" who should be bombarded into smithereens. Czech government as the ONLY European country has voted in the United Nations against the resolution approving the verdict  of the International Criminal Court pointing out that Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands is illegal and should stop. The resolution was approved by 124 UN member states.  The Czech government uncritically supports brutal Israeli miliatry policy and the Czech army closely cooperates with Israel. In the past, the Czechs prided themselves on their humanist tradition. Today, it has totally disappeared. Czech media slavishly copy Israeli propaganda and do not inform the Czech public about the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza, in the West Bank and in Lebanon. But there is more. Now a Czech University professor and at the same time a protestant preacher has argued that "the Palestinians have never existed" - implying perhaps that it is therefore OK to bomb them out of existence?
