‘Political Warfare Against Israel’: 60 (6) NGOs Sign Letter Opposing UN Adoption of IHRA Antisemitism Definition. The UN has long been accused by critics of having a systemic anti-Israel and antisemitic bias. ‘And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.’

60 human and civil rights organizations on Tuesday released a joint open letter urging the United Nations not to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.

Signatories to Tuesday’s letter include the Palestinian NGOs al-Haq, Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, and Defense for Children International – Palestine – groups that Israel banned in 2021 for their alleged ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is a designated terrorist organization in the US, the EU and elsewhere.

Professor Gerald Steinberg, the founder of NGO Monitor, a group that supports the adoption of the IHRA definition, told The Algemeiner that the letter, which was also signed by Human Rights Watch (HRW), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and B’Tselem, is an act of “political warfare against Israel and against the right of the Jewish people for self-determination.”

“The purpose of the IHRA working definition was to prevent the illegitimate demonization of Israel, the singling out of Israel, and the antisemitic aspects of the attacks on Israel, which is exactly what these NGOs are doing,” Steinberg said. “There are no examples where the working definition was used to prevent legitimate criticism of Israel on any grounds just as any other country could be.”

The letter was also signed by the University Network for Human Rights, whose founder, James Cavallaro, had his nomination for a human rights posting withdrawn by the Biden administration after an investigation by The Algemeiner revealed in February that Cavallaro had invoked language and imagery often associated with antisemitic claims of pro-Israeli political and financial control over US domestic politics.

“Bought. Purchased. Controlled,” Cavallaro wrote alongside a link to an article about the funds raised for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries by AIPAC and other pro-Israel groups. Cavallaro, like many of the signatories to Tuesday’s letter, also characterizes Israel as an “apartheid state.”

The IHRA working definition of antisemitism was adopted in 2016 as a non-binding effort to identify and combat antisemitism. It has since been endorsed or adopted by 39 countries, including the United States in 2019 in an executive order signed by former President Donald Trump.

Tuesday’s letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the High Representative for the UN Alliance of Civilizations Miguel Ángel Moratinos argues that the IHRA definition is used to “muzzle legitimate speech and activism” critical of Israel and advocating for Palestinian rights.

The signatories say they were prompted to act by the UN’s ongoing development of an action plan to combat antisemitism.

The letter cites the illustrative guiding examples that accompany the IHRA definition, including that it would be antisemitic to deny “the Jewish people their right to self-determination; e.g. by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour.”

“The wording of the first example above on ‘racist endeavour’ opens the door to labeling as antisemitic criticisms that Israeli government policies and practices violate the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the findings of major Israeli, Palestinian and global human rights organizations that Israeli authorities are committing the crime against humanity of apartheid against Palestinians,” the letter says.

In place of the IHRA definition, the letter proposes that the UN adopt the Jerusalem Declaration or the Nexus Document as alternative definitions of antisemitism.

These alternatives, however, have been criticized by Jewish groups as focusing largely on defending anti-Israel and anti-Zionist expression, not defining antisemitism, and in the case of the Jerusalem Declaration, of giving cover to antisemitism.

The American Jewish Committee (AJC) told The Algemeiner in an email that adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism does not preclude being critical of Israel.

“The IHRA Working Definition affirms that criticism of Israel is not antisemitism,” they said. “However, it offers examples where that line may be crossed, such as denying the Jewish people’s right to self-determination. Numerous countries that have delivered stinging criticism of the policies of the Jewish state have embraced the definition as a useful tool.”

The UN has long been accused by critics of having a systemic anti-Israel and antisemitic bias. In February, a bipartisan group of US congressmen wrote a letter to Guterres calling for him to fire the UN’s special rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese, and to disband the UN’s Commission of Inquiry into Israel for their antisemitic remarks. A previous congressional letter in January described the UN as having “a pattern of antisemitic behavior and rhetoric” and being “obsessively focused on the world’s only Jewish state.”

Zechariah 12:2-3

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

NGO Monitor’s Steinberg said that it’s troubling that the NGOs criticizing the IHRA definition continue to receive funding from European countries that have themselves adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

“This is completely inconsistent with the EU and European policies opposing antisemitism and endorsing the IHRA,” Steinberg said. “The European governments are paying the organizations which are working to undermine their own policies. That’s an absurdity.”

But how can they call on him (Jesus Christ) to save them unless they believe in him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they believe in him (Jesus Christ) if they have never heard about him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they hear about him (Jesus Christ) unless someone tells them?” —Romans 10:14

Make Your Decision for Christ NOW!!!!!!! Time is Up!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
