The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) continues to be a hot bed of anti-Israel mendacity. According to this U.N. body, Israel is the only nation that needs to be “studied” and castigated. The council turns a blind eye to serial human rights violations in Syria, North Korea, Darfur and Iran to instead focus on the only democracy in the Middle East.
B’nai B’rith International again sent a delegation to Geneva, where the group advocated on critical issues facing the UNHRC. Top on the agenda was the persistent bias against Israel at the agency. From March 6 to March 11, nearly 20 B’nai B’rith International leaders and supporters met with senior diplomats from 35 countries including the United States, Brazil, Germany, Greece, Japan, Jordan and Russia. |
Our Cuba Jewish Relief Project has provided vital aid to the small Jewish community in Cuba since 1995.
This year, we ran our first-ever themed mission to Cuba, bringing together B’nai B’rith’s Center for Senior Services and our Young Leadership Network for a once in a lifetime look at the Cuban Jewish community through a specific lens of aid. In the spring, we were pleased to share our expertise with an Ohio synagogue, partnering with Tifereth Israel of Columbus on a mission. |
