112 Companies Blacklisted by UN for Operating in Jewish Areas of West Bank

Obsessively biased against Israel, the UN Human Rights Council publishes a list of companies which are operating in the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria, including Airbnb, Expedia, and TripAdvisor, claiming they’re ‘breaking the law’.

By Arutz Sheva Staff

 

The UN Human Rights Council has released a report detailing a ‘black list’ of international companies operating in Judea and Samaria.

The council listed 112 companies which it claims violate international law by continuing to operate in the Jewish communities in the area, including Airbnb, Expedia, and TripAdvisor.

Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz responded to the black List, saying that “the UN Human Rights Council’s announcement of the “black list” of business companies is a shameful surrender to the pressures of countries and organizations interested in hurting Israel, even though most countries in the world have refused to join this political pressure campaign.” Continue Reading »

European Union High Representative scolds Israel, because EU didn’t

With a quarter of the EU states refusing to pass a resolution condemning Trump’s plan and Israel’s intention to annex the parts of Judea & Samaria [a.k.a. West Bank] included in the “Vision for Peace Conceptual Map,” the new EU foreign policy chief issues his own angry statement.

By Ryan Jones

 

Josep Borrell, the European Union High Representative (the title sounds more impressive than it really is), was clearly among those most offended by US President (now there’s a title with power!) Donald Trump’s Middle East peace proposal.

Earlier this week, Borrell urgently convened the EU to vote on a resolution condemning Trump’s plan and Israel’s intention to use it as a green light to annex large swaths of the so-called “West Bank.” Continue Reading »

Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, who is seeking an apology from the BBC said, “It was appalling to watch Orla Guerin hijack a segment dedicated to remembering 6 million murdered Jews and use it to desecrate the memory of the Holocaust with her hatred of the Jewish state.”

By  JNS, Israel Hayom Staff

 

The Board of Deputies of British Jewry said that the BBC should apologize for a report on Wednesday evening about International Holocaust Remembrance Day that linked the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the Holocaust.

Kemp: ‘ICC decision to investigate Israel would make Himmler proud’

The International Criminal Court, heir to the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal, has in a grotesque inversion become a propaganda weapon of organizations linked to the 3rd Reich.

By RICHARD KEMP

 

SS Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, architect and director of the Holocaust, would be proud of the latest move by Fatou Bensouda, Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Intent on the total elimination of the Jewish race, Himmler supported Amin al-Huseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, in his plans to eradicate the Jews in Palestine.

Now Bensouda and the ICC have joined the international campaign aimed at eliminating the Jewish state, led by al-Huseini’s successors. Continue Reading »

Judo federation bans Iran “from all competitions” over refusal to face Israelis

Iranian Judoka Saeid Mollaei, who was ranked #1 in the world, has remained in Europe, afraid to return home after he admitted Teheran ordered his deliberate loss to keep him from being matched with the Israeli Judoka at the 2019 World Judo Championships in Tokyo.

By i24NEWS – AFP

 

The International Judo Federation (IJF) said Tuesday it had banned Iran from competition over the country’s refusal to face Israeli competitors.

The federation issued a provisional ban last month while investigating a report that Iran had ordered a judoka to lose deliberately at the world championships to avoid facing an Israeli competitor in the subsequent round. Continue Reading »

FIFA breaks on rules by excluding only Israelis from upcoming World Cup

By Dan Lavie

 

The Israel advocacy group StandWithUs called on the international soccer governing FIFA to ensure Israelis would be allowed to visit Qatar during the World Cup tournament in 2022.

HBO joins #FakeNews media bias by misinforming viewers for ratings

In a new HBO series focusing on the Israeli-Arab conflict, producers draw moral equivalence with the Palestinian kidnapping\murder of 3 young Jewish teenagers, then Arab celebration of the act of political terrorism, to the revenge killing of Arab youth that disgusted and angered the Jewish State.

By David Lazarus

‘Finally the world understands – Israel is not the problem’

After 11 and a half years leading Israel’s National Information Directorate in the Prime Minister’s Office, Yarden Vatikai discusses the delicate balance Israel has to maintain in fighting for its image, when the EU, UN, Arab League, an occasional American President and rabid antisemitism is ready to assault Israel’s right to be treated equally.

By Yoav Limor

 

Israel is often under the gun, at home and abroad, for its public diplomacy failures – for not marketing itself, explaining its actions, thwarting hostile schemes based on incorrect or twisted information, while at the same time not playing up its successes. This was true in the past, when most of the world was against us, and to a large extent it’s still true in the age of social media and the endless flood of information. Continue Reading »
