Toronto, ON—Jewish organizations in Canada reject and condemn a new Amnesty International report that demonizes Israel and calls into question its right to exist. The report, to be published Tuesday, ignores the right of Jews to their ancestral homeland, where they have lived for thousands of years. It denies Jews the right to self-determination and seeks to delegitimize the world’s only Jewish state using unfounded and unsubstantiated smears. The report ignores ongoing terrorist violence directed at Israelis and minimizes the violence perpetrated by Palestinian terror organizations. Notably, the report disregards the reality of Israel being the only democratic state in the Middle East where all citizens – Jews and Arabs alike – have the right to vote, to serve in the judiciary, and hold seats in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament.

Fact: Multi cultural democracy Israel
PLO (1964) founder, who in 1941 helped Hitler, then rationalized the Holocaust (1946) - Ahmad Shukeiri branded Israel apartheid in 1961 —six years before the 6 day war
Shamnesty International.

Amnesty International ordered to return donation from billionaire George Soros
Standards in Public Office commission deems €137,000 donation in breach of law
Organizations Funded Directly by George Soros and his Open Society Institute
Amnesty International:
This organization directs a grossly disproportionate share of its criticism for human rights violations at the United States and Israel.
Is this one of the same “Jewish” groups that sees a NAZI under every rock, and wants to ban free speech? Seems like the community organizing institutions are against each other now?
The Open Society Foundation (OSF) is well known for funding highly biased political NGOs worldwide. For instance, the list of grantees of the OSF includes a number of Israeli NGOs that also includes some beneficiaries that deny the legitimacy of Israel.
OSF has also funded Palestinian NGOs Al-Haq and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, both of which have ties with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine which has been designated as a terrorist organization by the US, EU, Canada, and Israel.
The hollywood fool debra messing will tweet ill to whoopi goldberg for mere words, but will she check in on this organization’s acts? Don’t hold your breath.
“Is this one of the same “Jewish” groups that sees a NAZI under every rock, and wants to ban free speech?”
Not sure. I’ve never heard of them until this article.
I read all their press releases and they seem pretty focused on legit issues — idiots waiving Nazi flags, the Muslim taking hostages in Texas, the constant attacks by blacks and Muslims on Hasidic Jewish people in big cities, etc.
I didn’t see any mission creep into various liberal causes.
So, no, I don’t think this is a stupid liberal organization.
But yours is a fair point. A lot of so-called Jewish organizations aren’t Jewish, at all. The ADL comes to mind, with its fake accusation of antisemitism to support whatever Democrat is doing whatever.
Open Society and NIF,... anti-Zionist Soros types.
I guess I jumped the gun. Bernie Faber is one of those in Jewish leadership who supports Canada’s human rights tribunals. Faber is too stupid to realize that stomping on free speech will ultimately hurt Jews who will be targets of a muslim protected class.
Your instincts are spot on.
There easily more fake Jewish groups than legitimate ones. Most are just a front for some radical leftist pressure group and are antagonist to Jewish people and especially Israel. They use a facade of being Jewish as protection against criticism — and to con good hearted Jewish people out of money.
The ADL and J Street immediately come to mind. Neither is a legitimate Jewish organization.
The worst thing about it is these con artists make people mad at normal Jewish people. The con artists give great ammo to people to point at and say “Jews are idiot liberals — see what the ADL just said!”
Anyway, long way of saying you very well be right about this group. If it’s not expressly orthodox, doubt its intentions.
Let’s be clear the report labeled Israel as an “apartheid state.”
Of course nothing could be farther from the truth. Israel allows Arab citizens to vote, to own property anywhere, to practice free speech and religion, to serve in the government. None of these options were available to South African Blacks.
One could argue Palestinians have more rights in Israel than they do in the West Bank or Gaza!
Indeed
The real reason Amnesty had to wait a few months —after Arab racist Omar Shakir abused the HRW platform—
Because of the Apr 2021 report that Amnesty International has a culture of white privilege and workers allege systemic bias and racist language by senior staff including N-word and P-word.
