‘Pro-Israel’?? – Why would liberal Jewish groups that proclaim to be pro-Israel try to torpedo a World Zionist Congress bill declaring the Jewish people indigenous to Israel?

By Ari Soffer

 

It would seem to be a fairly basic principle for a pro-Israel organization to accept: that the Jewish people is an indigenous nation to the Land of Israel.

Not so for J Street and several other self-defined “liberal Zionist” organization’s.

UNHRC says Israel, not Gaza, Syria, Iran, or North Korea worst human rights violator

In ANOTHER #UNfail: According to the U.N.’s top human rights body, Israel deserves more condemnation for violating human rights than ISIS, Iran, Hamas, Boko Haram, Syria or any other nation on earth.

By Anne Bayefsky

 

Last week, Israel was the U.N.’s number one women’s rights violator. This week it is the U.N.’s all-round human rights villain.

The U.N. Human Rights Council wrapped up its latest session in Geneva on Friday, March 27 by adopting four resolutions condemning Israel. That’s four times more than any of the other 192 UN member states.

Playing at caring about human rights is the U.N.
