Journalist Finds BDS Forgives World’s Oppression, Abuse, Exploitation Except Hates Israel

By Israel Today Staff

 

American journalist and Jewish activist Ami Horowitz was at it again recently, exposing the outrageous double standards of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

BDS targets Israel in the name of what it calls “human rights,” but at the same time all but ignores, and often times excuses, far greater humanitarian crises around the world.

To demonstrate that, Horowitz traveled to Ireland, which he described as “ground zero of the BDS movement.”

Like many, Horowitz doubted the commitment of these BDSers to actual human rights, suggesting that they instead were merely anti-Israel. Continue Reading »

By Arutz Sheva Staff

 

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon attacked Israel on Thursday, saying it needed to do more to protect the lives of Palestinian Arab children during counter-terror operations in Gaza – even as international law experts say Israel is warning Gazans too much and harming the ability of Western democracies to combat terror.

In another move to undermine Israel, US declassifies 1987 report on Israel’s top secret nuclear program.

By Ari Yashar, Matt Wanderman

 

In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel’s nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent.

But by publishing the declassified document from 1987, the US reportedly breached the silent agreement to keep quiet on Israel’s nuclear powers for the first time ever, detailing the nuclear program in great depth.

Christians that support State of Israel attacked by Lausanne Movement

While ignoring Muslim atrocities against African & mid-East Christians, the Lausanne Movement targets Christians who support Israel.

By Israel Today Staff

 

The Lausanne Movement, the world’s leading Christian evangelism movement, has once again taken aim at what it believes to be the sinful practice of Christian support for the State of Israel, or Christian Zionism.

Lausanne, like many evangelical groups today, fails to take on overt Muslim oppression of Christians, while leaping on each and every allegation of Israeli wrong-doing.

“For over 60 years, many evangelicals have clung to a very narrow theological narrative that weds Christian theology with a political ideology known as Zionism,” writes Steve Haas, vice president of World Vision US, in the latest issue of Lausanne Global Analysis.
