The Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust (IHRH), a U.N.-approved NGO group, claims the U.N. Division for Palestinian Rights (UNDPR) has unjustly barred 18 pro-Israel Jews from attending a Monday event marking the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.”
U.N. security officials initially had granted the Touro Institute credentials permitting 18 Birthright Israel alumni to attend the day long series of meetings, which will be attended by the U.N.’s most high-level officials.
However, those credentials were quickly revoked at the behest of the UNDPR, according to IHRH officials and e-mails obtained by theWashington Free Beacon.

The ZOA has strongly criticized Secretary of State John Kerry for falsely stating that Jewish communities in Judea/Samaria and eastern Jerusalem are “illegitimate” –– a statement unsupported by international law; blaming Israel for the difficulty of Israeli/Palestinian peace-making; and even preemptively blaming Israel for any Palestinian violence and terrorism that might follow if Israel does not ignore Palestinian incitement and glorification of terrorists and agree to further talks.

ZOA has pointed to the obscene glorification of Jew-killing terrorists by the senior Palestinian leadership, including the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmoud Abbas, who described Jew-killing terrorists, as he has done before, as “heroic brothers”; and the PA’s Abbas Zaki, who mocked those Israelis bereaved by the batch of recently freed Palestinian terrorists saying, “Die in your rage. Go to your cemeteries and recite over your dead whatever you recite.”
Following last week’s freeing by Israel of 26 blood-soaked Palestinian terrorists, senior PA officials, including PA president Abbas, attended a welcoming ceremony for 21 of the terrorists (all having been convicted of murder) where Abbas greeted the murderers on stage, kissed each one, and then addressed the audience saying, “We welcome our heroic brothers who come from behind bars to the world of freedom. We congratulate ourselves and we congratulate all of you in this great celebration that unifies and returns our sons to us.”
A CAMERA Op-Ed inTimes of Israelshowed how New York Times reporters besmirch Israel’s leadersby injecting negative commentary into news articles. “Shrill,” “strident” and “derisive” were pejorative adjectives used byTimes news reporters to describe the Israeli prime minister’s review of anti-Jewish violence by Palestinians since the 1920’s. Their condemnation of Mr. Netanyahu’s reference to Palestinian violence and anti-Jewish hatred is paralleled by their own refusal to report fully on the topic. In fact, The New York Times has come under harsh criticism from CAMERA for turning a blind eye to the glorification of terrorism and violence against Jews on government-sponsored Palestinian television.
True, every couple of years the newspaper runs an article that ostensibly focuses on Palestinian anti-Israel indoctrination. But not only do these articles ignore the worst examples of Palestinian incitement, they inevitably soft-pedal the entire issue, pretending that it is fueled by Israel in order to prevent peace negotiations, or that it is part of a bilateral phenomenon, with Israelis sharing the guilt– something that is clearly not the case. The bottom line is that The New York Times refuses to report the simple truth about Palestinian hate speech and indoctrination to violence.

Sustainable peace may be the end result, but the purpose was business: Some 30 young Palestinian business leaders completed a mini-MBA course at Tel Aviv University (TAU) last spring.
The program totaled 12 days and was delivered over a couple of months. It gave attendees — aged 25 to 40, mostly interested in technology — access to business school courses in a setting not far from home in the Palestinian Authority-administered territories, where similar opportunities do not yet exist.
Demand was far greater than the number of spots offered, says Mustafa Deeb, a Palestinian who coordinated the project out of the unofficial Palestinian capital, Ramallah, in the West Bank.
The program was designed with TAU and its Kellogg-Recanati Business School professors to “help Palestinians compete on a regional and international level.”
