Ameinu: We Won’t Normalize New Israeli
Government |
Ameinu views with grave concern the
establishment of the thirty-seventh government of Israel. This government, the
most right-wing and reactionary in Israel's history, imperils Israel's
democratic future through its inclusion of racist, homophobic and Kahanist
elements. "Ameinu refuses to normalize this extremist government and we
call on the organized Jewish community in the United States and around the
world to do the same," said Kenneth Bob, President of Ameinu. "Ameinu
representatives will not attend events addressed by the extremist members of
the government and will raise our voices in opposition to its policies in
appropriate forums whenever possible. We will oppose any attempts to subvert
the independence of Israel's judiciary system as well as any moves to
annex parts of the West Bank," Bob added. Ameinu stands in solidarity with our
colleagues on the ground who are fighting to protect Israel's civil
society. Ameinu will continue to defend Israel's Arab citizens, its minorities,
the LGBTQ community, and other at-risk elements of Israeli society; Israel must
be a state for all of its citizens regardless of their religion, gender, or
beliefs. |
