07/03 Links Pt2: Melanie Phillips: The fateful question for Diaspora Jews; Why two Jews left London for the Jewish State; 70+ NGO staffers allege antisemitism, lack of accountability in new report

From Ian:

Jonathan Tobin: On its 250th birthday, Jews mustn’t abandon the fight for America
If Jewish life is unsafe in America, it will be unsafe everywhere. And that will impact Israel as well. That’s why it is essential that, rather than giving up or giving in to hysterical talk about the end of American liberty and even the end of American Jewry, we must recommit to the fight to roll back the woke tide on the left and its antisemitic echo on the right—and to defeat it.

This may be a generational struggle in much the same way that leftist efforts to impose these false beliefs on the United States were one. But it is a battle that is necessary to fight—not just to save American Jewry, but to save the canon of Western civilization on which our freedoms rest.

The contempt for traditional patriotism and belief in the truth that the American republic—flawed though it might be—is a force for good in the world has already been made clear by left-wing elites. But as discouraging as this discourse may be, it is a reminder that the stigmatizing and targeting of Jews is part and parcel of the same struggle that other Americans are engaging in. America is and always has been exceptional. But it will only remain that way so long as a broad cross-section of its citizens—Jews and non-Jews, liberals and conservatives, Democrats as well as Republicans—are willing to stand up against the woke forces seeking to traduce its founding values.

The appropriate answer to attacks on Jews is not flight or a call to shelter in place. Jews must speak up and not abandon the streets or the public square to the antisemites and woke mobs. The rejoinder to anti-Jewish violence and intimidation is for Jews to act in the most quintessential American way possible: to arm themselves and make it clear that they will not be intimidated or silenced.

Those who hate the founding principles of the United States, in addition to its Jewish residents, may seem to be on the ascent, as election results in various Democratic Party primaries have shown. But they are wrong about the end of American greatness or the need to transform it into some pale reflection of Marxist or Islamist concepts. And as dire as the situation may seem at the moment, these enemies of liberty may be sealing their own fate with their attempt to foist antisemitic extremists on a country that is inherently moderate and where Jew-hatred of this type has always been confined to outliers rather than the mainstream.

Faith in the good sense and decency of the American people may seem like a forlorn hope when you witness the ability of figures like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to affect the future of American democracy. But those who bet against America have always been shortsighted suckers. Right now is no time to doubt that this will continue to be the case.

On this 250th Independence Day, rather than writing off America, we should be embracing it all the more enthusiastically and pledging to defend it against those who wish to tear it down. The alternative is not merely unthinkable; it’s an abandonment of Western civilization, and all that decent people hold dear.

Happy birthday, America! Even on your worst day, we still believe in you, and we know you’re worth fighting for.
Melanie Phillips: The fateful question for Diaspora Jews
More profoundly, Zionism is not a political cause. The religion of Judaism is itself inseparable from the land of Israel. Judaism consists of the belief by the Jewish people that they were given a Divine command to create a particular kind of society in the land that was promised to them.

Jewish religious liturgy is studded with countless references to Zion, the ancient Hebrew name for the land. Zionism, which emerged as a discrete political movement in the 19th century, is thus intrinsic to Judaism.

Of course, Jews who aren’t religiously observant are still Jews, just as are Jews who are anti-Zionist. But in Judaism, the people, the faith and the land are inextricably connected. Trying to pluck Zionism out of Judaism is to destroy it by plucking out its heart.

So, attacking the Jewish world is to attack the West; attacking Israel and Zionism is to attack Judaism.

Many Diaspora Jews won’t acknowledge this because the implications are too devastating. Especially in America, where the majority of Jews have signed up to anti-Jewish liberal ideologies, many of them will therefore dump Israel.

Observant Jews will remain loyal, and more of them will move to Israel. A number of progressive Jews, meanwhile, are agonized. Finding that their erstwhile comrades have now turned viciously against them over their support for Israel’s existence, they feel like politically homeless Jewish orphans.

It’s now more than 1,000 days since the terrible events of Oct. 7. During that traumatic period, which is still far from over, Israel has changed. It has returned to the biblical ideal of the heroic Jewish warrior nation.

This isn’t just because of its astounding military and intelligence prowess, or the awesome bravery of its fighting forces.

It’s also about its moral courage. It’s about the way it surmounted the devastating shattering of its security; the trauma of seeing so many of its precious and beautiful children fall in battle; the nightmarish return of the unspeakable shadow of the Holocaust, from whose ashes it had somehow emerged.

It’s about how it stared down disaster, demoralization and death, determined instead to fight for life—the life of its people in their ancient home.

Israelis fight to live because they passionately love what they are. They aren’t conditional Jews or Jews with trembling knees or confused Jews with hyphenated identities.

They are Jews who are made whole and complete by the land of Israel. They triumphantly reaffirm every single day what Judaism is: the faith and culture of a people created through a sacred covenant in their own land.

Oct. 7 and its aftermath forged the Israeli spirit anew in iron. Oct. 7 and its aftermath left Diaspora Jews terrified and uncertain about what they are.

The Israelis are fighting for the life of the Jewish people. Can Diaspora Jews say the same?
Why two Jews left London for the Jewish State
"A terrorist just tried to stab Jews at my work" - This was the text Joseph received in January 2024, moments after a Muslim terrorist walked into his local Kosher supermarket in London and tried to stab Jewish shoppers. The only reason no one was killed was because a heroic worker held the terrorist off with a shopping cart until his arrest.

The attack itself was terrifying, but what followed was worse. The perpetrator, Gabriel Abdullah, was arrested, charged, and convicted - but didn’t serve a day in prison. To Jews, the message was clear: Britain tolerates violent antisemitism.

A few months later, Joseph experienced this ‘tolerance’ firsthand when an antisemitic mob surrounded and threatened him, as seen in the video below. The police were present, but instead of intervening, they just watched.

For Alex, the turning point came during the 2014 Gaza war. That year, Alex and Joseph began filming Palestinian protests together, and he quickly realized the antisemitism they were witnessing wasn't an aberration; it was the tip of the iceberg.

While the spike in antisemitic incidents in the UK was alarming, it was what Alex saw in France that truly disturbed him. During the 2014 Sarcelles riots, a synagogue was besieged, and Jewish-owned businesses were targeted in scenes reminiscent of a darker era, signaling a complete collapse of public order for the Jewish community. Witnessing the speed at which this hatred manifested in France, he concluded that it was a contagion: the turmoil he saw in Paris would inevitably reach Britain, and the patterns established in London would eventually reach America and Canada.

The Ratchet Effect
After the conflict ended, Alex identified a recurring pattern he termed the ‘ratchet effect.’ During the conflict, antisemitic incidents surged, but with the toxic combination of social media and changing demographics, the baseline of hatred never retreated to previous levels after the conflict ended - it just ratcheted up. He realized then that this was a cycle without a ceiling. From Gaza and Lebanon to the catastrophe of October 7, each flare-up has made these incidents increasingly violent and uninhibited.

As the number of attacks on Jews increased, the British authorities consistently failed to protect Jewish citizens. The failure reached a nadir during the May 2021 Gaza war; on the same day that Islamic extremists were hunting Jews on streets with a police escort, a convoy of cars drove through Jewish neighborhoods with a megaphone, calling to rape Jewish women. No one was jailed for these offenses.


NGO Monitor: ‘Behind closed doors’: 70+ NGO staffers allege antisemitism, lack of accountability in new report
A former Human Rights Watch editor tells the 'Post' that major NGOs have legitimized antisemitism and anti-Israel narratives, urging greater accountability across the human rights sector.

After Haas left Human Rights Watch in November 2023, after 14 years, she started connecting with other people in the organization she had not had contact with before, and they began to share experiences.

“What I had taken to be personal experiences in the organization, I suddenly realized were actually shared by other people. That these were not individual problems but rather systemic ones,” she told the Post.

Haas put everyone together in a WhatsApp group, and they collectively decided to share their experiences.

“As people committed to human rights and humanitarianism, we felt what’s going on in these organizations is incredibly dangerous. Dangerous because these organizations are embedded in the fabric of decision-making within modern society, and they are woven into our academic structures, and our legal structures, and media, and they are treated as infallible, and truth itself, and we knew for a fact that there are issues that require scrutiny, like any other industry,” she told the Post.

“These human rights and humanitarian groups are really the ground zero for the world we’re living in today, because out of them came, for example, the label of apartheid.

“Human Rights Watch was the first large American human rights organization to come out with this in 2021, followed by Amnesty in 2022. So they are the formulators, they are the legitimizers, and they are the propagators of concepts of apartheid and genocide that we’re all living with today. They have given them legitimacy.”

EiGHT just launched Insiders Speak, a report by over 70 staff from human rights and humanitarian organizations (including Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, and Greenpeace) revealing antisemitism, methodological failures and retaliation.

The 63-page submission represents the first independent and extensive account of how the human rights and humanitarian NGO sector has failed to uphold the values it exists to promote, drawn primarily from the first-hand experiences of professionals from within it.

Among the key findings of the report are that antisemitism is tolerated within human rights NGOs, and there is retaliation against those who dissent. The report also reveals a pervasive lack of accountability, amounting to structural accountability failures rather than isolated incidents.

The Hidden Agenda of NGOs and Their Impact on Israel and the UN Gerald Steinberg
NGOs have a great deal of influence over our lives. This episode uncovers the hidden power structures behind the world's most powerful non-governmental organisations — and why they deserve far more scrutiny than they get.

Zoe Sankey sits down with Gerald Steinberg — founder of NGO Monitor and professor emeritus of political science at Bar-Ilan University — to discuss the evolution of NGOs from altruistic civil society groups into political powerhouses, the funding sources and transparency issues within organisations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and how they've come to shape the UN and international policy on Israel.

Gerald pulls back the curtain on how civil society was hijacked by political and ideological agendas, case studies of NGOs with alleged ties to governments and terrorist organisations, the UN accreditation process and what it really takes to get a seat at the table, and the power dynamics inside these organisations' leadership.

Ask Haviv Anything: 127: Does Islam hate Jews? With Prof. Meir Litvak
What’s the real history of antisemitism in the Muslim world?

Haviv sits down with Prof. Meir Litvak of Tel Aviv University, one of Israel’s foremost scholars of modern Shi’a Islam, Iran, Islamism and Islamist antisemitism, to trace the story of Muslim hatred of Jews from Muhammad’s encounter with the Jews of Medina to the dhimmi system that arose in early Islam, from the medieval mix of tolerance and discrimination to the modern-day shock of European power, Zionism and the 1948 war.

The result of this sweeping survey is neither a comforting myth of Muslim-Jewish harmony nor a simplistic story of eternal persecution. It is a harder, more disturbing picture: a long religious tradition of Jewish inferiority transformed in the modern age -- by European conspiracy theories, Muslim political collapse and the humiliation of defeat by Jews -- into one of the world’s most openly genocidal forms of antisemitism.

And the final question is the hardest one: can Muslim societies find a way out?

Call me Back Podcast: Why Do Radical U.S. Politicians Blame Jews? - with Jonah Goldberg and John Podhoretz
Why have positions about Israel and Jews become a defining fault line in American politics?

In part two of their conversation, Dan is joined by Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, and John Podhoretz, editor-in-chief of Commentary Magazine, to discuss what the victories of Zohran Mamdani and other Democratic Socialists reveal about the radicalization of politics of the American left. From the rise of anti-Zionist candidates to the weakening of political parties and norms, they explore why antisemitic or anti-Israel positions have become litmus tests in the transformation of American politics.

travelingisrael: Mehdi Hasan EXPOSED: I Investigated Mehdi Hasan’s Media Network. Here’s What I Found!
In this video, I break down how Mehdi Hasan became one of the most influential voices in anti-Israel media — and why I believe his messaging is far more strategic than it looks. I examine the connection between progressive language, Islamist politics, Qatar-backed media influence, and the way Israel is repeatedly singled out while far worse abuses in the Muslim world are ignored. This is not just a response to Mehdi Hasan; it’s an attempt to expose the broader propaganda machine behind him, and why it matters for the future of the West.




Anti-Israel activists convicted of misdemeanor charges in 2024 Golden Gate Bridge protest
Seven protesters who blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in a 2024 pro-Palestinian protest against Israel’s military action in Gaza were convicted of misdemeanor charges by a San Francisco jury that remained deadlocked on the more serious charge of felony conspiracy.

The jury convicted each of the seven protesters on six misdemeanor counts, including false imprisonment, obstruction of a thoroughfare, and unlawful assembly, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement on Thursday.

One defendant was also convicted of another misdemeanor charge of refusing to disperse, Jenkins said.

The protesters will be sentenced in August and face up to five years in a county jail.

The seven protesters were named Bhavika Anandpura, River Allen, Rocky Chau, Sara Cantor, Conrad de Jesus, Sarah Ferrell, and Em Tillotson, according to local media.

The protest on April 15 was one of many held by US anti-Israel demonstrators who blocked roadways around the country, causing traffic jams and temporarily shutting down travel into some of the country’s most heavily used airports.

Large-scale protests in the US in 2024 demanded an end to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and Washington’s support for Israel. The protests also called for the divestment of funds by universities from companies supporting Israel.

The jury could not reach a verdict on the most serious charge of felony conspiracy — an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime coupled with an overt act — which could have led to a sentence of up to 15 years upon conviction.

“At this time, we will evaluate our options and consider next steps,” Jenkins said.


Israeli-founded cycling team enjoys calmer Tour de France after axing Israel from name
The Israeli-founded NSN Cycling Team was acclaimed just like any other outfit during the Tour de France teams presentation in Barcelona on Thursday, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere last year when the team competed as Israel-Premier Tech.

The team was subjected to a series of protests over its involvement in races in 2025, including widespread disruption at the Vuelta a Espana, when they were targeted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators opposing Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

During last year’s Tour de France opening presentation in Lille, they were escorted by plainclothes officers, while they were given extra security on the Tour with police officers guarding the team bus.

A protester wearing a t-shirt reading “Israel out of the Tour” disrupted the sprint finish of the 11th stage of the race.

However, the team has completely rebranded after more than a decade with an Israeli identity, with sports and entertainment company Never Say Never — co-founded by former Barcelona and Spain footballer Andres Iniesta — taking over in November.

NSN had partnered with Stoneweg, a Swiss investment platform in Geneva, and the team is now registered with a Swiss license operating mostly from Girona and Barcelona, where the world’s most prestigious cycling race starts on Saturday.

“I think it’s special for everyone because it’s Barcelona and because we’re all involved in this wonderful project,” Iniesta told a press conference on Wednesday.
Pro-Palestine watermelon symbol does not meet threshold for disruption, says Wimbledon director
Wimbledon’s tournament director has said the watermelon symbol often used to represent the colours of the Palestinian flag does not meet the “threshold” for causing disruption, after a Turkish player stuck a vibration dampener in the shape of the fruit on her racket.

World number 51 Zeynep Sonmez used a watermelon shock absorber on Thursday after organisers allegedly banned her from wearing a pin in support of Palestine.

Sonmez told a Turkish state-run news agency on Thursday: “I used to wear a pin. Tournaments no longer allow me to wear it.

“We had a discussion with the organisers because the Ukrainian flag is allowed, but the Palestinian is not.

“They ultimately told us they definitely would not allow it. So, I can’t wear the pin. I can use the vibration dampener, and they can’t object to that. That’s why I put the watermelon symbol on my racket.”

Speaking to reporters on Friday, tournament director Jamie Baker said that players have always been banned from political messaging on court, adding that this is the case for most grand slams.

Baker said the “Ukrainian situation” was “unique”, adding: “You know everything that happened here around our government guidance and the kind of international response, and we did respond to that and provided support to Ukrainian players for quite a while, so that was I guess an individual situation.”

Wimbledon responded to the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 by banning Russian and Belarusian players from the Championships.

Baker added: “But in terms of the watermelon, we don’t think that’s meeting the threshold for causing any type of disruption.”


UNRWA Teachers Still Making Students in Image of Terror, New Report Says
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has failed to enact the educational reforms it promised European lawmakers in 2024 after revelations that its Palestinian teachers had been teaching students to hate Jews, oppose peace with Israel, and commit jihadist terrorism, according to a new report by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (Impact-SE).

As previously reported by The Algemeiner, the European Parliament (EP) has continuously implored UNRWA to stop making antisemites and suicide bombers out of students with educational materials that experts have described as among the most antisemitic and inciting of violence in the world. From math to theology, to literature and science, their content promotes blistering hatred for Jews and Israel, indoctrinating students as young as six to commit their lives to “martyrdom” and inter-generational war. Compromise with Israelis is described as betraying Palestinian identity, suicide bombings as intrinsic to it and a prerequisite for entry into heaven.

In April 2024, the EU-commissioned “Colonna report” — named for former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, who led an independent review of UNRWA’s neutrality — recommended that agency officials shape up or risk losing the bloc’s funding. UNRWA responded by generating a “High-Level Action Plan,” of which it completed two objectives and left 17 incomplete in the plan’s first phase.

More were left undone year to year, leaving the schools as radioactive as they were two years ago. Today, Grade Nine students reading the agency’s Islamic Education textbook learn the importance of killing non-Muslims as an act of jihad and that dying in combat against a non-Muslim secures one’s ticket to the afterlife. Jihad offers opportunities for women too, Islamic Education for Grade Five tells girl students, imploring them, according to an Impact-SE translation, to “kill, be killed, and send their children to die.”

“The international community committed itself to ensuring that the failures identified by the Colonna Report would be addressed through meaningful institutional reform,” Impact-SE CEO Marcus Sheff said in a statement announcing the findings. “Two years later, our analysis demonstrates that UNRWA has chosen token compliance instead of delivering the substantive changes the review demanded.”

He added that with many governments still funding the agency on the assumption that the Colonna recommendations have been implemented, the gap between UNRWA’s claims and its actual, verifiable reform “should be a red flag to every donor.”


Two men given suspended sentences after going ‘fishing for Jews’ in London
Two men have received suspended prison sentences of six weeks for filming themselves “fishing for Jews” in London, intending to upload the hate content to social media.

The two, Adam Bedoui, 20, and Abdelkader Bousloub, 21, pleaded guilty in May to a religiously aggravated public order offense.

Bedoui and Bousloub had traveled to the area of Stamford Hill, home to tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews. There, they walked around with a fishing rod, a bank note at the end of it, as they “fished” for Jews, filming all the while to upload the video to TikTok.

At one point they verbally abused a Jewish man.

“Both suspects attempted to flee but were swiftly detained by officers at the scene,” police said.

Bedoui and Bousloub’s suspended sentence is in effect for 12 months.

“These men deliberately targeted a member of the Jewish community, and subjected him to antisemitic abuse in a public place,” prosecutor Varinder Hayre said.

“They filmed the incident with the intention to upload it to social media and amplify the harm caused to the victim.”

Police’s Detective Chief Superintendent Brittany Clarke said: “These men thought nothing of travelling to Stamford Hill so they could generate social media likes from hateful so-called content.

“There is no place for antisemitic hate in this city and this case carries a clear warning for anyone tempted to commit hate crimes in pursuit of online notoriety.”


Standing up for Jews, one gag at a time
Mel Brooks once famously said, ‘Humour is just another defence against the universe’. It seems fitting, then, that days after the legendary satirist turned 100, a stellar line-up of comedians came together to put his observation into practice – this time, however, the target was very specific.

The Stand-Up For Jews! comedy night on Tuesday in London’s Leicester Square Theatre, organised by Comedy Unleashed, deployed humour as a defence against the tidal wave of anti-Semitism that has swept over Britain in recent years. And it proved devastatingly effective: the evening was imbued with the same resilient, irreverent spirit that has carried Brooks throughout his remarkable career.

Josh Howie shone as compere. Drawing on his wealth of experience as a stand-up and host of Free Speech Nation on GB News, he effortlessly peppered the evening with off-the-cuff barbs at an audience that was more than happy to be on the receiving end.

The comedians had clearly read the brief. Adam Bloom brought a wonderfully anarchic energy to the stage, delivering punchlines on everything from OCD to his pent-up sex drive. His gag about ripping open a bag of satsumas as though they were fishnet stockings had the crowd howling.

Lee Hurst and Simon Evans were also on top form, poking fun at everything from Keir Starmer to Jewish identity and Islam.

It was Al Murray who stole the show. Drenching the front row as he staggered around the stage with his pint, the Pub Landlord brought the house down with his bombastic performance. His comic timing and improvisational skills were as sharp as ever, and the crowd seemed delighted to be heckled by his pint-wielding patriotism and cries of ‘Banter!’ Howie paid a touching tribute to Murray shortly after he left the stage, reminding the audience that the comedian has long been a staunch ally of Britain’s Jewish community.

During his closing remarks, the GB News host also reiterated that all profits from the evening would go towards supporting Jewish volunteer organisations in London, as well as anti-racism campaigns Stop The Hate and Our Fight.
Herzog marks US Independence Day with visit to Ambassador Huckabee
Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee at the American embassy in Jerusalem on Friday to mark America’s 250th Independence Day, delivering a letter of congratulations to President Donald Trump and the American people.

The visit came ahead of Saturday’s celebration of American independence.

“I am extremely moved and happy to be here at the American embassy in Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Israel, at the embassy which was launched by President Trump in his historic recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” Herzog said.

The U.S. Embassy was relocated from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May 2018 following Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017.

“I want to congratulate the president, the Congress, the leadership and the people of the United States of America through you, Mr. Ambassador, on 250 years of independence,” Herzog said. “American independence is one of the greatest moments in history, and it has changed the fate of humanity.”

In his letter to Trump, Herzog described the anniversary as “a moment to honor the incredible triumph of the American spirit.”

“The story of America has inspired humanity the world over,” he wrote. “From sea to shining sea, America stands as a beacon of liberty, and as the leader of the free world.”

Herzog also praised the enduring alliance between the two countries.

“This is also a time to express our deepest appreciation for the unique and unbreakable partnership between the United States of America and Israel,” he wrote. “Our two nations draw from the same wellsprings of the Bible, and we share the same fundamental values of freedom, democracy and human dignity.”

The Israeli president thanked Trump for his support of Israel during the recent war.

“I thank you for your steadfast commitment to Israel’s security,” Herzog wrote. “The people of Israel will never forget your tireless efforts to bring our beloved hostages home. May you continue to lead the Middle East and the world toward peace and security.”
