66. You seem to contradict yourself as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which btw has no such caveats.

It's based on the principle that all human beings are equal and have equal human rights. Period.

You say that you are for the human rights of Palestinians - except for those who don't meet your criteria.

Then you say that those who don't meet your criteria, Palestinian or not, ONLY get human rights, no respect.

Which is correct? I hope it's the latter!

I'm wondering too if you would add "supremacist" and "genocidal" to your list of human beings you consider unworthy of respect?
