ISRAEL BANS PALESTINIAN HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS
A very dangerous global precedent
On October 19, 2021, six prominent Palestinian organizations were labeled as so-called “terrorist organizations” by the Israeli Minister of Defense, Benny Gantz. This designation criminalizes the work of organizations that provide services, advocate for human rights, protect land and water resources, and speak out against the ongoing Israeli occupation and violations of international laws. It also threatens to set a dangerous precedent to “chill” civil society work not only in Palestine, but also in other regions around the world. More background information is available in this talking points/fact sheet document.
JVP joins 100+ philanthropic leaders in calling on our governments to denounce Israel’s criminalization of Palestinian human rights organizations. Such criminalization of civil society, if unchallenged, could set a dangerous precedent far beyond Palestine.

Palestinian children & families act

Thank you sen eldridge
Eldridge opposes Israeli occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and forcible removal of Palestinians from their homes. We are among your Jewish constituents "questioning the actions of the Israeli government." When our tax $$ support injustices, all the more reason we want to see legislators speak out!
