United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres announced on Friday that there is a “concern for intolerance against Muslims” around the world, and urged electronic platforms to reduce hate speech and harassment.
Guterres’s photographer’s message came on the eve of the International Day to Combat Hathered Islam.
Human rights organizations around the world and the United Nations noticed that Islam, prejudice against Arabs and anti -Semitism since the beginning of the Israeli military attack on Gaza began in the wake of the attack by Hamas on towns in southern Israel.
“We are witnessing a disturbing intolerance against Muslims. From racial stereotypes and discriminatory policies that violate human rights and dignity, to explicit violence against individuals and places of worship,” said Guterres, without mentioning any specific state or government.
“Electronic platforms must reduce hate speech and harassment. We all have to raise our voice against intolerance, foreigners hate and discrimination,” he added.
For years, human rights defenders expressed their concerns about the stigma faced by Muslims and Arabs because of the way some people confuse these communities and militant armed groups.
At present, many pro -Palestinian activists, including in Western countries, such as the United States, complained that their defense of Palestinian rights is wrong by their critics as support for Hamas.
In the past few weeks, human rights control bodies have published data indicating record levels of hatred and hate speeches against Muslims in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, India and others. The governments of these countries affirm their endeavor to combat all forms of discrimination.
