Professor Gerald M Steinberg discusses the UN's International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD).
The UN’s Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) posed tough questions to the Palestinian representative about its government’s promotion of anti-Jewish hate, echoing an earlier briefing to committee members by NGO Monitor and IMPACT-se.
NGO Monitor discusses the rampant campaign of antisemitic and anti-Israel incitement within the Palestinian Authority.
On January 12, 2017, the European Union Representative and the EU Heads of Mission in Jerusalem and Ramallah issued a “statement on the situation regarding Palestinian children arrested, detained and prosecuted by Israeli authorities.” The statement unsubtly implies misconduct and ill-treatment by Israeli authorities – echoing a well-coordinated NGO campaign that accuses Israel of “grave violations” against children in order to advocate for Israel’s isolation – while providing no verifiable evidence.
As stressed by PM Netanyahu, France provides millions of euros to French, Palestinian, and Israeli NGOs involved anti-peace activities – including BDS and lawfare campaigns targeting Israel.
Anne Herzberg calls upon the UN and EU to commit to their claims of neutrality, and stop financing and promoting the whitewashing of Palestinian violence.
Professor Gerald Steinberg and Gilad Segal call upon the European Union and European governments to cease their funding of Palestinian human rights organizations engaged in the incitement, justification, and glorification of terror attacks against Israelis.
Anne Herzberg maintains that depraved exploitation and abuse of children as targets and weapons will not end so long as the UN, members of international community and NGOs continue to enable these atrocities.
