(JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has reportedly decided to call Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Oxfam to account for their prejudicial attacks and efforts to undermine the right of Israel to exist. All three are guilty of supporting the anti-Semitic BDS movement with words and deeds, and seek to undermine the right of Israelis to self-defense against terrorism, as well as to promote false charges of war crimes against the Jewish state. These three groups are not being accused of anti-Semitism because they are critical of Israel's government or its policies. Rather, it's because their activities and advocacy have been consistent with the widely accepted definition of anti-Semitism promulgated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance that rightly labels delegitimizing, demonizing and applying double standards to Israel, the one Jewish state on the planet, as acts of Jew-hatred.
