Anti-Arab and anti-Muslim incitement must also be rejected. A fundamental tenet of democracy is that discrimination and incitement against any people based on their religion or ethnicity is unacceptable, and neither acts by extremists nor profound political disagreements change this.

APN categorically condemns and rejects anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incitement emanating from the Arab world, including from friends and allies of the United States. We also condemn and reject anti-Arab and anti-Muslim incitement emanating from any source, and warn that an American double standard when it comes to racist or inciting speech will only strengthen extremists. APN also rejects wholesale condemnation of the Palestinians over this issue, recognizing that the PA has engaged in a serious effort to fight incitement - an effort that should be encouraged, not dismissed. We believe it is important to promote efforts to build tolerance and understanding.
