“How dare the smooth talkers, the clever official blabbers, open their mouths and boast of progress. . . . Here they hold jubilant peace conferences in which they talk against war. . . . But the same righteous Governments, who are so nobly, industriously active to establish the eternal peace, are preparing, by their own confession, complete annihilation for six million people, and there is nobody, except the doomed themselves, to raise his voice in protest although this is a worse crime than any war . . .”

—Max Nordau, early Zionist thinker and co-founder of the Zionist Movement

To be a Jew means your life will be defined by collective moments of agony and pride. The Jew may be admired by some for our resilience, our dignity, our courage and our tenacity to persevere in the face of a history of relentless hatred; but we are still reviled by others. These are groups of people who, for reasons that only philosophers and theologians might attempt to understand, buy into grand paranoid delusions and conspiratorial theories about our people. Theories that Jews are responsible for everything from controlling the U.S. government, to spreading coronavirus to replacing Americans with immigrants, to total genocide of another people.

It all seems so familiar to us by now. Jews attacked for the “crime” of being Jews whether in Pittsburgh, Poway, Manhattan, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Monsey and now Colleyville, Texas. Our despair as a people was heightened this Saturday upon the news of four people being held hostage in their synagogue by Malik Faisal Akram for over 10 nerve-wracking hours.

Fight Back Against the UN's Latest Assault on Israel

The “Inquiry” has formally issued a “call for submissions.” ([link removed](Y_COPY_01)&mc_cid=af183cc1d4&mc_eid=UNIQID) It states: “The Commission invites individuals, groups and organizations to submit information and documentation relevant to its mandate."

Jewish and non-Jewish experts, NGOs, other organizations, parliamentarians or legislators – who care about defeating modern global antisemitism embodied in this UN Commission of Inquiry – need to proffer submissions. Literally every human on earth is eligible to make a submission.

By making a submission to this rigged exercise, will we legitimize it? The answer is emphatically NO, the greater the number of individuals and organizations who act.

Submissions are not about changing their minds, but about educating those who remain open to learning the truth about the Jewish state and the Jewish people. About exposing antisemitism and calling it out as such. About urging others to stand with the people of Israel and to object to the perversion of law and the falsification of right and wrong by the United Nations – for the sake of real human rights victims, now and in the future.

So stand up to #PillaysPogrom. Write now ([link removed](Y_COPY_01)&mc_cid=af183cc1d4&mc_eid=UNIQID) .

The United Nations Human Rights Council has voted on a resolution to fund a biased, one-sided “Commission of Inquiry” meant to demonize and delegitimize the state of Israel, labeling it an “Apartheid state”. Unbeknownst to many of us, this mendacious screed was concocted in Moscow during the Cold War, with the assistance of the Soviet propaganda machine. We are honored to host Colonel Richard Kemp, of the Royal British Army.
About the speaker: Richard Kemp has spent most of his life fighting terrorism and insurgency, commanding British troops on the front line of some of the world’s toughest hotspots, including Afghanistan, Iraq, the Balkans and Northern Ireland. He is now a writer, a prolific journalist, media commentator and motivational speaker. He provides strategic consultancy services on leadership, security, intelligence, counter-terrorism and defense.
