America must stand up to the U.N.'s hateful discrimination against Israel.
The U.N. Human Rights Council is working to demonize the Jewish state with an outrageous new investigation that is unprecedented, unwarranted and unjust.
Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Rob Portman (R-OH) are spearheading a letter that urges the Biden administration to stop the U.N.'s outrageous "inquiry" and demonstrate America's unwavering commitment to our democratic ally Israel.
Last May, the U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC) established an unprecedented, open-ended Commission of Inquiry (COI) intended to permanently target Israel. The new commission's broad mandate, biased leadership and substantial budget assures unremitting attacks against Israel, beginning with the COI's first report this June.
The Commission of Inquiry sets a new low for U.N. assaults on Israel.
The COI's scope is unprecedented. Its open-ended, perpetual mandate will ensure ongoing reports that constantly investigate and denounce Israel.
Israel has a moral army and is a nation of laws.
The Israeli military operates under strict legal guidelines that meet and exceed all international laws of conflict. Conversely, the UNHRC routinely fails to criticize the Palestinian Authority and Hamas for violating Palestinian rights and for exacerbating the conflict, assigning all of the blame to Israel.
The COI members have already concluded Israel's guilt.
The COI chair, Navi Pillay, has a long-standing anti-Israel bias and has already falsely declared Israel an "apartheid" state. Commission members Miloon Kothari and Chris Sidoti share Pillay's bias, with Kothari going so far as to accuse Israel of "ethnic cleansing."
The UNHRC has a long history of attacking Israel.
The UNHRC has passed more than 90 anti-Israel resolutions since its founding in 2006. For context, that's more than all resolutions condemning Iran, Syria, North Korea, China, Russia, Cuba and Venezuela, combined.
The mission of AIPAC is to encourage and persuade the U.S. government to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our ally Israel.
