3 Israeli groups operate against Israel within UN, study finds

“The report proves that the roots of the boycott and delegitimization efforts are right under our noses, in Israeli organizations that are in part supported by European governments and foreign funds,” says CEO of right-wing Zionist organization Im Tirtzu.

Three Israeli organizations are using their status as U.N. advisers as a way to focus blame on Israel, the right-wing Zionist organization Im Tirtzu said in a report issued on Monday.

According to the report, the three groups — Adalah: The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, Ittijah (also called the Union of Arab Community-Based Associations), and the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions — used their influence to encourage the U.N. to accuse Israel of international law violations.

Included in the report is a letter from Adalah attacking Israel for the Israel Defense Forces’ actions during Operation Protective Edge. On July 22, 2014, Adalah and other Palestinian nongovernmental organizations wrote to the U.N. asserting that Israel’s actions constituted violations of international humanitarian and criminal law, and called on the U.N. Human Rights Council to condemn Israel and to launch an international commission of inquiry into the matter.

Im Tirtzu CEO Matan Peleg said that the report “proves that the roots of the boycott and delegitimization efforts are right under our noses, in Israeli organizations that are in part supported by European governments and foreign funds.”

He said that “for many years, these same organizations have been effectively and efficiently working against Israel at U.N. institutions, without citizens being aware.”

Some 15 Israeli organizations have been granted adviser status to the U.N. Economic and Social Council, dealing with human rights issues, which allows them to influence U.N. bodies.

The three organizations mentioned did not comment on the report by press time.

Meanwhile, the boycott issue that has dominated Israel’s headlines recently prompted a Knesset discussion on Monday on the possible establishment of a task force to combat the delegitimization of Israel. Likud MK Anat Berko and Kulanu MK Michael Oren raised the issue at a meeting attended by British anti-boycott activist Dr. Qanta Ahmed and NGO Monitor President Gerald Steinberg.

Berko said: “We need to fight the invisible web that operates like a low profile terrorist organization. It is not only fundamentalist organizations that do this; the Palestinian Authority does it too.”

  1. If the Israeli legal system has an existing definition of treason, then it should be used immediately. The fact that these fools can walk around endangering the state without repercussions, is simply disgusting.

    Treason is rarely punished. Traitors are often rewarded with powerful government positions. The more unpatriotic they are, the higher they rise.

  2. @ babushka:

  3. Where once treason was considered to be the lowest form of depravity, for liberals it is now a résumé enhancement.

  4. No matter what our Islamic internal enemies do, the gruesome make believe “courtiers”, self elected at that, will prevent any action against the well organized elements exposed in the investigation reported.
    There are other sabotage organizations financed by the “nif”, the Peres organization, foreign governments, etc, that have intentionally IMPORTED and armed the enemy…
    Then remember the degenerates part of the “ha’aretz” who are on record for having gone to the US to beg then Secretary of State Rice to “rape Israel”.
    Just now the Zoabi filth was allowed by “the Knesset” to travel to a meeting overseas which favor harming Israel.
    Yet. Jewish soldiers are routinely either assaulted or prevented from taking down the enemy.
