Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
Situation in Gaza - Middle East Peace Process: Palestinian and Israeli Ambassadors
7:00 pm
H.E. Mr. Boaz Modai:
The Deputy said he lived in Ne'ot HaKikar and it was very hot and dry there. I know the area very well. He said he saw that Israel is a racist country. I know what he has seen. He has seen the buses which only Ashkenazi Jews can enter, because the buses for Ethiopians, Russians and Mizrahi Jews are different. He probably saw the supermarkets which only Israelis can enter - Arabs are not allowed. He did not see that, because these things do not exist in Israel. He knows damn well that Israel is not a racist country. Israel is a country in which everyone has the same rights.
