Calling Out Anti-Semitic ‘Human Rights’ NGOs

President Donald Trump has done much for American Jews and America’s ally Israel. Even so, his administration’s announcement that it would consider labeling certain international NGOs as anti-Semitic is momentous. These NGOs -- chief among them Amnesty International (AI), Human Rights Watch (HRW), and Oxfam -- are known to single out Israel for criticism while turning a blind eye to Arab-Palestinian terrorism. They also support the Hamas-inspired boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks political and economic isolation of Israel.

Vice President Mike Pompeo has already requested Elan Carr, U.S. Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism, to identify all such NGOs and prepare to withdraw financial support to them. Though they benefit from U.S. aid, AI, HRW, and Oxfam -- the only ones named by the administration so far -- disparage American ally Israel and denigrate America as well.

Here’s a roster of their manifold hypocrisies: they call America evil, racist, imperial, and a threat to world peace; they defend terrorist attacks on Israelis as legitimate resistance and freedom struggles; they bolster the Arab-Palestinian leadership’s denial of Jews’ connection to their ancestral land; and they ignore the rights of Jewish refugees from Arab states, for whom compensation has never been considered. Most iniquitously, they demand within the Jewish state enclaves from which Jews will be excluded. They link this demand, aimed at obliterating Israel, to a specious “right of return” for millions who have never lived in the Jewish state. So, despite its impressive record on human rights and civil liberties, the only democracy in the Middle East where all ethnic and religious groups live freely is singled out by them for opprobrium.

These leftist NGOs are often funded by the government and the charitable donations of religious people who don’t realize just how their donations are being spent.

Do the NGOs that finance an unending stream of 3rd world immigrants into western Europe and the US get a special name too?

These NGOs achieved the transformations that Obama wanted. The NGOs made sure that refugees and immigrants transformed “oppressingly white” states such as Minnesota and Maine into “multicultural” havens.
