New Israel Fund grantee promoting the notion of 'Israeli apartheid'
Adalah, an 'Israeli Arab' organization that received more than $475,000 from the Jewish-funded New Israel Fund in 2010, is making a presentation to a BDS (Boycott Divest Sanction) conference in Geneva next Tuesday on 'Israeli apartheid.' Suhad Bishara, Director of Adalah's Land and Planning Rights Unit, is scheduled to speak on Tuesday, February 14 at event organized by a Swiss group named "BDS Geneva."And the money that Adalah gets from the New Israel Fund is coming straight from your do-gooding Jewish neighbors who think that they're promoting 'civil rights' in Israel. The rest of Adalah's money comes from the anti-Semitic Europeans who are looking for the Arab Muslims to finish the job that the Europeans couldn't finish 70 years ago.
"The use of the false 'apartheid' analogy and misleading 'racism' terminology is totally unacceptable and is the antithesis of human rights," said Prof. Gerald Steinberg, president of NGO Monitor. "Adalah's funders, including the EU, European governments, and foundations, should repudiate Adalah's use of immoral and inflammatory rhetoric."
In a letter to New Israel Fund (NIF) CEO Daniel Sokatch, NGO Monitor alerted NIF, one of Adalah's major funders ($475,950 authorized in 2010), to the event.
NGO Monitor notes that Adalah's submission to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), which is meeting in Geneva next week to discuss Israel, demonizes Israel for laws and policies that allegedly "permit and even actively promote racial discrimination."

Here's what a real American friend of Israel, New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie, has to say about Israel and about any American President's duty to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program.
‘I Admire Israel for the Enemies It Has Made’.
Chris Christie could beat Barack Obama. He'd obliterate the Empty Suit in any debate. Not a RINO, he says what he means and means what he says. Irish on his dad's side; Sicilian on his mother's-quite a combo! Maybe someday, he'll be President.
Only as a retort to Captain H's faulty reasoning do I post this link:
Debbie Schlussel: Christie reality check
May Christie be stuck in New Jersey forever - and I've never wished that until now upon any human being! :)
