American Jewish Groups Rally Against Anti-Israel Bias at UN


(Jerusalem Post) Danielle Ziri - Over 50 Jewish groups joined forces this week against anti-Israel bias at the UN in an initiative launched by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. "Vitriolic anti-Israel rhetoric continues to intensify in UN resolutions, reports, and in the official statements from many member states," Conference Chairman Stephen M. Greenberg and CEO Malcolm Hoenlein said in a statement. "Since November 2012 the Palestinian strategy of using the UN as a weapon against Israel has led to a disturbing increase in the number of anti-Israel resolutions presented in UN bodies....These actions not only distort the truth about Israel, they also undermine the principles of the UN and its Charter. It has to stop." The Conference said it will enlist "all people of good will who want the UN to live up to the principles and values on which it was founded," to join in signing a Declaration Opposing Discrimination Against Israel at the United Nations.
