Global Parliamentarians Condemn UNESCO over Anti-Israel Conduct
(Nyasa Times-Malawi) Rev. Malani Mtonga is one of the parliamentarians who signed a statement rejecting a recent UNESCO resolution which they say misinterprets the status of the Jewish state. He said in an interview, "We all know how the Jewish state has come under heavy aggression for thousands of years. To have them as a nation state since 1948 has proved to us that lasting world peace is possible only if all stakeholders such as Palestinians and other aggressive Arab nations understand and respect ancient borders and cultures." Kenneth Meshoe, a Member of Parliament in South Africa, told a recent conference in Israel, "I am here in a place that has been known as Judea for over 3,000 years. To suggest that Jews are occupiers in Judea is no less ridiculous than to suggest that Arabs are occupiers in Arabia."
