Joan Garson… And Yossi Beinart, President of Tel Aviv Stock Support Boycotts Against Israel

10

Joan Garson, the President of New Israel Fund of Canada (together with her husband David Baskin), is a significant donor not just to New Israel Fund, but also to Sikkuy, an Israeli NGO which claims to “advance equality between Arab and Jewish citizens of Israel.”

And Sikkuy is yet another anti-Israel organization. According to NGO Monitor, Sikkuy:

“has contributed to efforts to portray Israeli Arabs as an “indigenous minority” subject to “discrimination” by Israel. These themes are part of a wider political campaign seeking to delegitimize the recognition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.”

  • In the introduction to Sikkuy’s 2009 “Equality Index,” co-executive directors Ali Haider and Ron Gerlitz make the false claim that Israeli Arabs are protected by “international law concerning the rights of indigenous peoples according to which an indigenous national group must be granted individual and group rights and has a right to live in its homeland together with all the citizens under a genuine egalitarian democratic regime.” (Beyond the labeling of Israeli Arabs as “indigenous,” the legal claim is unsupported.) 
  • The introduction to the 2009 document also makes shrill, unfounded allegations about “fears for the democratic regime” in Israel, and suggests that “morality,” “values,” and “democracy” are not part of Israeli “politics and the political discourse.” This rhetoric is a central component of contemporary delegitimization campaigns and attempts to manipulate the Israeli democratic process.  An op-ed by Ali Haider in Ha’aretz was headlined “The cry of a persecuted minority” (October 4, 2009) and makes the blanket allegation of Israeli racism as part of the wider campaign of demonization. 
  • Ali Haider, “The Spread of Violence…Reasons and Implications,” Dugrinet, December 12, 2012) accuses Israel of “racism” and identifies the Israeli government as one of the main reasons for violence within Israeli Arab society.
  • Ali Haider, “Racism and Hate in the Center of the Consensus,” Walla News, January 30, 2013) claims that “[t]he phenomena of racism, hatred, exclusion, and contempt have become household terms in Israeli society.”

Helping New Israel Fund Canada harms Israel.

As an aside, it is interesting to learn that the CEO of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), Yossi Beinart is a board member of the New Israel Fund.  While he calls himself Yossef Beinart it is fascinating that the head of start-up nation’s stock exchange is so involved with an organization that advocates boycotts against Israel.

More information on that will follow this week – but how can it not be a conflict of interest for the CEO of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange to support an organization that boycotts Israel?

Are the companies on the TASE aware of his position? They should be made aware – and we intend to ensure they will be this week.

Loomis Chaffee must say no to hosting an organization that says Israel should be boycotted – and  Alisa Doctoroff must be fired from UJA-Federation of New York for supporting New Israel Fund.

Capo Judenrats… a.k.a self loathing Jooz or autoantisemites

One can handle even live beside, indoctrinated antisemitic Muslims in a equilibrium of power (carrots, a very big stick and zero trust) but with Jewish, Muslim adoring traitors (Jewish progressives), you are in a bind with the need to fight an ultra aggressive, potentially terminal, autoimmune pathology… A tragic state of affairs if one takes into account what the Jewish nation had been subjected to over the centuries.

A glaring karmic injustice of our world, is that Muslim terror doesn’t hit only progressives

They use a very misleading name, New Israel Fund. I think they trick people into thinking they are supporting Israel. It should be called ‘Destroy Israel Fund’ so you know what they are about.

In the UK many of us refer to it as the Nuke Israel Fund or the No Israel Fund.

Yet another Jew-hating / Israel-hating Jew.

They’re not self-hating. In fact, they love themselves. It’s other Jews that they hate – especially those who practice Judaism and who support the right of Israel to exist. They will tell you exactly what Israel has to do to bring about peace in the Middle-East; but when you ask them how this will guarantee safety and security for the citizens of Israel, the best response you can expect is bluster based on high-flown thoughts – in essence, give the Arabs what they want and they will love us – which bear no relationship whatsoever to reality. These are dangerous people.

does this person thinks for a minute that going against the Jews will save her hide? I think not. they kill their own. so she will never be safe.

Leftists sure love death and destruction – except for their own. I would bet that Baskin and Garson would use all the influence and money they have at their disposal to stay out of harm’s way as they condemn Israel to shrinkage and to destruction at the hands of people who have sworn to destroy Israel and the Jewish people.

There are no words to describe these gray-haired sybarite leftist haters of Western civilization. They have grown rich off the civilization that they now want to destroy and to be applauded for their efforts by their leftist coterie of arrogant fanatics.
