Terwijl voor Marokko de mensenrechten wel een rol spelen, spelen die geen rol voor het Nederlandse kabinet, waarvan de minister van Buitenlandse Zaken de banden met Israel wil aanhalen, waardoor duidelijk wordt dat zijn joodse achtergrond een belangrijkere rol speelt in zijn beleid dan de Nederlandse opvattingen over mensenrechten en het internationaal recht.
