"As the number of openly racist statements by Israeli politicians and officials grows daily, the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Information has said that Israeli terrorism 'is the culmination of its racist policies'.
"The ministry made its comments following the latest outburst by Israel's foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman in which he said that the morale of the Israel Defence Forces is never higher than when killing Palestinians.
"'Such statements,' said the ministry, 'defy humanity and international laws and conventions.'
"In a press release, the Ramallah-based ministry added: 'This is very serious, showing as it does the practical aspects of the state terrorism practised by the Israeli occupation.
"It is an open invitation for soldiers to liquidate ever more Palestinians in cold blood with the backing of a senior government minister. It is racism, pure and simple, which needs to be criminalised and prosecuted in all of its pernicious forms.'"
Israeli terrorism is "culmination of racist policies"
