The Archeology War
(Jewish Ideas Daily) Alex Joffe - The Islamic Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) was founded in 1979 by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). It has three basic goals. The first is to spread a Saudi version of Koranic education throughout the Islamic world. The second is to publicize Islam to the non-Islamic world, both positively, by touting Islamic civilization and its accomplishments, and negatively, by protesting what it calls the "anti-Islamic campaign." The third goal is to oppose the "Judaization of Al-Quds" - i.e., Jerusalem. Now ISESCO is planning to broaden its campaign by bringing lawsuits against Israel in international courts, part of the widening conduct of "lawfare" against Israel, whereby any and every international venue is exploited to investigate, isolate, and indict the country and its citizens. How long will it be before Israeli archeologists are unable to get off a plane in London lest they be served with a subpoena initiated by a Palestinian NGO?
