Herut Chairman MK Michael Kleiner asked the Speaker of the Knesset to hold an urgent session on the policies of the Taliban in Afghanistan that deny basic human rights to the non-Moslem population.

According to Kleiner, the decision of the Taliban to obligate the Hindu population to wear a yellow patch and to deny them freedom of religion, as well as a whole series of other edicts that are reminiscent of the Nazi edicts of the 1930's, obligates the Israeli Knesset to sound a cry of protest and lead processes at the United Nations that will return sanity to the Moslem world.

"Those who think that the Nazi lexicon is embraced only by the extremist Moslems in Afghanistan are not aware of the extreme talk of the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordan and Syria where there is a Goebbels-style systematic propaganda campaign against the Jewish People", says Kleiner. "The suffering of the Hindus in Afghanistan is a matter of concern for all Jews and all citizens of the world."
