“Deterrence is a simple equation: capability times will. I think that many of our adversaries today think our will is about zero. I think we’re set up for a cascading crisis now in large measure because of the perception that our will is diminished.”


—Former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster as told to Bari Weiss

As the world watches the events unraveling in Ukraine, Putin’s message is clear: the old world order dominated by the United States, its values and interests is over. This declaration should not be seen as a sudden coup d’état, but a major step in a steady shift in the global power structure that is being tilted towards America’s foes. Through a well-calculated combined effect of strategies, Russia, China, and Iran have been able to undermine the American-led world order and profoundly shake the confidence of the world in American resolve.

2021 was the best year of Russian-Chinese relations in the history of the two historical rivals, as the world saw many signs of complete convergence of Russian and Chinese strategies against the United States. Joint military exercises, some of which included the Islamic Republic of Iran, joint patrols in the Pacific, a united front against the US deployment of a different weapons system, and a united front in international institutions became a definite theme of Russian-Chinese action.

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=d72fdf9475&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=d72fdf9475&mc_eid=UNIQID) .
