Education Dept. : BDS activity against Israel will be defined as anti-Semitism

[rylah]

EU PARLIAMENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF ADOPTING ANTISEMITISM DEFINITION

The European Parliament on Thursday voted in favor of a resolution endorsing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, drawing praise from Jewish groups.

The resolution calls on EU Member States and the EU institutions and agencies to adopt and apply the working definition of antisemitism. The text urges members to: protect their Jewish citizens and Jewish institutions from hate crime and hate speech; support law enforcement efforts to identify and prosecute antisemitic attacks; appoint national coordinators on combating antisemitism; systematically and publicly condemn antisemitic statements; to promote education about the Holocaust in schools; and to review school textbooks to ensure that content about Jewish history and contemporary Jewish life stay clear of antisemitism.

“This is a monumental day for the fight against hate and the protection of the rights of European Jews,” Dr. Moshe Kantor, President of the EJC, said. “For too long, Jews were deemed unique, with hate defined by the perpetrators and not by the victims.”

“The only people who will be dismayed by this decision are those who wish to continue the culture of antisemitic impunity and who believe that Jews should not be afforded protection under the law.”

Israel's desperate campaign to shut people up.

Now BDS attacks education about the Holocaust??

Incredible...

The organizations' desparate refusal to even face the problem of antisemitism,
it proves BDS harbors such ideology very willingly and pro actively.

Antisemitism is BDS air and water , hence the delusional response to European vote in favor of combating it.

I'm still waiting for any link showing BDS condemning antisemitism,
but the organization and her members stubbornly refuse to oppose the most vile examples of hate speech and incitement to murder during their demonstrations.

Q. What can be concluded from that?

BDS activists shouting "ADOLF HITLER & ALLAHU AKBAR"



According to BDS, antisemitism is not even a problem, it's the norm...
Otherwise it would've been condemned long ago.

Israel's existence is a violation.

And THAT is hate speech.

What did the U.N .” Violate?”

The UN does not and can not create States. The UN had nothing to do with the creation of Israel.

Therefore, the "violator" can only be the Jewish people. Hence the hate speech.

The U.N. Declared Israel a Jewish State on May 14, 1948.

Israel declared itself on May 14, 1948. The UN does not have the power to create States. The UN accepted the State of Israel to membership (recognized Israel as a member of the UN) on 11 May 1949 with UNGA resolution 273, following UNSC resolution 69 a few months earlier.

RE: Education Dept. : BDS activity against Israel will be defined as anti-Semitism
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,

As you very well know, General Assembly Resolutions do not carry with them the force of law. The citation you quoted comes from A/RES/3236 (XXIX) 22 November 1974.

Recalling its relevant resolutions which affirm the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination,

1. Reaffirms the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in Palestine, including:

(a) The right to self-determination without external interference;
(b) The right to national independence and sovereignty;​

2. Reaffirms also the inalienable right of the Palestinians to return to their homes and property from which they have been displaced and uprooted, and calls for their return;

Why is there a problem with this?

(COMMENT)

But even if it were true, there are several other impediments to your postulation. They include, but are not limited to:

PART 3. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL LAW
Article 22 - Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court

Nullum crimen sine lege
1. A person shall not be criminally responsible under this Statute unless the conduct in
question constitutes, at the time it takes place, a crime within the jurisdiction of the
Court.
2. The definition of a crime shall be strictly construed and shall not be extended by
analogy. In case of ambiguity, the definition shall be interpreted in favour of the
person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted.
3. This article shall not affect the characterization of any conduct as criminal under
international law independently of this Statute.​

Article 24 - Non-retroactivity ratione personae

1. No person shall be criminally responsible under this Statute for conduct prior to the
entry into force of the Statute.
2. In the event of a change in the law applicable to a given case prior to a final judgment,
the law more favorable to the person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted
shall apply.
​

Article 15 bis Exercise of jurisdiction over the crime of aggression (State referral, proprio motu)

2. The Court may exercise jurisdiction only with respect to crimes of aggression
committed one year after the ratification or acceptance of the amendments by thirty
States Parties.
​

(APPLICATION)

• Israel did not ratify the Rome Statues.
• The "violation" is not defined, in case of ambiguity, the definition shall be interpreted in favor of the
Israel.
• The International Criminal Code is 21st Century Law. Anything prior to 2002 is outside the jurisdiction of the ICC.​

You have not cited the "LAW." In order for the existence of Israel to be a "violation," it has to be in contrivention of an enforceable and specific law. You have not cited an enforceable or specific law that is not ambiguous.

Most Respectfully,
R

The abusive language, threatening speech and adverse propaganda is an expresses prejudice against a particular group or culture; that being the Jewish Immigrants. It is an expression of an unreasoned fear that the immigrant will acquire some measure of power and influence over the Arab; as well as a greater economic foundation.

The Zionists went to Palestine with the stated purpose of shoving the Palestinians aside and to pig the place for themselves. And that they did. The Palestinians have been fighting this theft ever since.

So where is this unreasoned fear you are talking about?

And this IS hate speech.

It is not a criticism of Israel or Israel's government policies, but a rejection of Jewish identity and history. And the Jewish people's rights to those things, equal to all other peoples rights.

No. It has to do with hate speech. Hate speech is defined as speech, gesture or conduct which invites violence or prejudicial action against a protected group or individuals in a protected group based on their membership in the group.

Rejection of Jewish identity and history and access to the same rights as other groups is hate speech.

IF the Arab League attacks territory under the responsibility of Article 77 of the Charter, THEN that is an "Act of Aggression."

None of them were attacking Palestine or the UN.

(COMMENT)

But I'm not concerned → and you probably should not be concerned → with the action. At the time of the Armistice, there was no territory under the control of either the All Palestine Government (APG) - OR - under the control of the Arab Higher Committee (AHC).

For all intent and purposes, the Hashemite Kingdom and Egypt had effective control over all the unapportioned territory that was placed under the UN Trustee System (via Article 77a). The Arab Palestinians allowed the Arab League to do the heavy lifting --- and the result was: → nothing left for the Arab Palestinians to establish as a nation. The Arab Palestinians wanted → ALL or NOTHING. They rejected the recommendations to follow the Steps Preparatory for Independence; → and today we see how well the choice they made worked out for them.

If you want to split hairs about who initiated the 1948 War → and who holds what sovereignty → at the end of the day, Israel came out in a better position than did the Arab Palestinians that reject the offers to participate in self-governing institutions and the Steps Preparatory for Independence. This is a troubling pattern of behavior since the 1948 War. And it is a Pattern we still see today. Again, we can ask them, how well did that work for you?

It would behoove the Arab Palestinians to look at the overall outcome of their actions (over the last 100 years). It really doesn't matter who was "right" or who was "wrong." It doesn't matter about what you think some "document says", or what you think your "rights" are. --- What matters is the reality of the outcome.

The Arab Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and (of course) Jerusalem, can look at their choices of leaders over the last 100 years. And you can read the advice they gave and the leadership that they ultimately exhibited.

Seventh Arab League Summit Conference
Resolution on Palestine
Rabat, Morocco 28 october 1974

To affirm the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent national authority under the command of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in any Palestinian territory that is liberated. This authority, once it is established, shall enjoy the support of the Arab states in all fields and at all levels;​

Hmmm. What does that mean? And how has it workdfor them. While some people might argue that Area "A" is sovereign territory of the Arab Palestinian; there is just as strong an argument that all the the leader of the PLO (Mahmoud Abbas) can claim to hold soveriegn is his home (and even that is questionable.

Did the Arab Palestinains actually "liberate" any territory?

It was the UN that divided Palestine into three areas of occupation in the Armistice Agreements. That has always been a mystery.
