NEW YORK, NY: – Hadassah National President Rhoda Smolow and CEO Naomi Adler released the following statement in response to the United Nations’ Commission of Inquiry’s recently released report unfairly targeting Israel:
“The unprecedented, unending Commission of Inquiry targeting Israel is the latest example of how the UN Human Rights Council has become a mockery of its intended goals. This latest report is another attempt to undermine Israel’s legitimacy drafted by clearly biased members who do not meet UN standards of neutrality and impartiality, as they have repeatedly made offensive antisemitic statements and hostile comments about Israel’s right to exist. Hadassah stands with the Jewish community in calling for the UN to disband this biased Commission and we firmly believe the United States must not take part in its funding.”
