B’Tselem: US settlement backtrack takes world ’70 years backwards’
Israeli left-wing NGO B’Tselem lambastes the Trump administration over its settlements announcement, claiming that it in effect erases all human rights protections and moves the world “70 years backwards” to the post-World War II era.
2. In so doing, the American administration is pushing the world over 70 years backwards, to the period at the end of the 2nd world war, when only in its aftermath did the world come to terms with the consequences of the absence of such protections.
