Arab Israeli Defends Israel on Vaccines at UN Human Rights Council
(Tazpit Press Service) Aryeh Savir - After representatives from Iran, Qatar, and the Palestinian Authority on Tuesday condemned Israel for its coronavirus vaccination policy at the UN Human Rights Council, Yoseph Haddad, an Arab Israeli social activist, speaking on behalf of UN Watch, noted that he is an Arab from Nazareth who has been vaccinated. "Accusations have been made against Israel that its vaccination program is racist and that is not true. Like me, my family, friends and hundreds of thousands of other Arab Israelis have been vaccinated. The State of Israel is campaigning in Arabic to encourage us Arab Israelis to get vaccinated and Israel's Magen David Adom National Rescue Organization, which consists of Jews and Arabs, works directly with Arab communities to vaccinate its residents." Haddad concluded that he is "proud to be an Arab and I am proud to be an Israeli because Israel cares for all its citizens and even for others."
