Will the Israel Civil Rights Community Abandon the Cause of Palestinian Arab civil liberties?
Urgent press query to ACRI, The Association of Civil Rights in Israel
ATTN: Shay@acri.org.il, mail@acri.org.il

A new comprehensive HRW report documents systematic human rights abuse by the PA, an entity that enjoys massive aid from Israel.

Here is that report:

Two Authorities, One Way, Zero Dissent

Does ACRI posit that Israel must demand a change in PA human rights policies?

Does ACRI posit that Israel must condition aid to the PA on a change in PA human rights policies?

Will ACRI invoke the precedent, when Israel civil rights advocates demanded that Israel condition its relationship with South Africa on a change in its human rights policies?

Will ACRI Abandon the Cause of Palestinian Arab civil liberties?

Thank you for a prompt reply

The Center for Near East Policy Research has been instrumental in reaching elected officials, decision makers and journalists, commissioning studies, reports, news stories and films. In 2009, the center began decided to produce short movies, in addition to monographs, to film every aspect of UNRWA education in a clear and cogent fashion.   The center has so far produced seven short documentary pieces n UNRWA which have received international acclaim and recognition, showing how which UNRWA promotes anti-Semitism and incitement to violence in their education’   In sum, Bedein has pioneered The UNRWA Reform Initiative, a strategy which calls for donor nations to insist on reasonable reforms of UNRWA. Bedein and his team of experts provide timely briefings to members to legislative bodies world wide, bringing the results of his investigations to donor nations, while demanding reforms based on transparency, refugee resettlement and the demand that terrorists be removed from the UNRWA schools and UNRWA payroll.   Bedein’s work can be found at:www.IsraelBehindTheNews.com and www.cfnepr.com. A new site,unrwa-monitor.com, will be launched very soon.
