The WCC @Oikoumene added to the vile antisemitism of the 2001 UN Durban conference -- an anti-racist event hijacked for hate. Will they repeat this immoral behavior at the Durban +20 "commemoration"? @dextervanzile

David Matas on @Oikoumene at Durban 1: "the #WCC proposed the deletion from the text on #antisemitism the paragraph protesting anti-Zionism. [Vote...] without giving the Jewish Caucus, or, indeed, anyone, an opportunity to speak to it.

@Oikoumene Re Durban +20, @MarianneEjder @AnnegretKapp and other WCC spokespeople and officials will no doubt say that their organization is not #Antisemitic and seeks justice and peace. This is false -- they are major sources of hate and racism targeting the Jewish nation and equality.

More 21st century woke #antisemitism insanity... the Philadelphia Israeli food truck incident con't. (BTW, even if an agreement on "balancing" an Israeli and Palestinian trucks actually exists, it would be inherently and blatantly discriminatory.)

The post-Netanyahu period for Israel will be interesting (understatement). After 12 years of increasingly polarized politics, the main objective for the 8 party coalition will be to restore coherence and social solidarity. Even passing a budget will be a major accomplishment.
To succeed, every minister in the incoming government must act professionally to promote the general welfare, not sectorally, ideologically, cynically or manipulatively, The polar opposite of recent years.
The two rotating prime ministers @naftalibennett & @yairlapid with Defense Minister @gantzbe will need to manage conflicts and provide guidance. They should not try to dominate, dictate policies or control in the post-Netanyahu era

A few observations on #IsraelElex4:
1) Israeli politics remains divided and dead locked. 2)Netanyahu's situation has not changed significantly. His next coalition will be as fragile and unstable as the previous one. 3) No credible challenger to Bibi has emerged 4) The Center >
4) The mostly secular Center (Lapid+ Gantz) remains a viable force. This bloc is the main opposition to the Right. 5) Merav Michaeli brought Labor back from the dead. But even with Meretz, they remain marginal
6) Likud post-Netanyahu is on track to follow Labor's gradual disintegration. There's not much there other than loyalty to King-Bibi. 7) Saar's alternative to Bibi and Likud failed. Someone else (Bennett? Shaked?) will lead this effort in #IsraelElex5. ...TBC

The @IntlCrimCourt is not a serious threat; no #Israelis will be tried,screaming headlines notwithstanding. It's another performance in the ongoing propaganda war led by intl law cultists ("lawfare"), including powerful NGOs, to demonize #Israel, fuelling incitement & violence
2/n The specifics of claims by #ICC prosecutors & judges cited in media reports are window dressing for a vicious political campaign to demonize Israel. It's not about law, policies or "occupation"; if #Israel were to go back to pre-1967 lines, the delegitimization would continue
3/ Tens of millions of $, £, €, CHF, NOK, etc are behind 20 yrs of NGO #ICC lawfare, led by @hrw @amnesty @fidh_un @btselem @BtSIsrael @AdalahEnglish @AlHaq .... Massive & irresponsible & accountable funding weaponized intnl law & #HumanRights to attack #Israel. Follow the money

Thread on total irrelevance of 🇪🇺Europe in Middle East diplomacy (highlighted again in 🇮🇱🇦🇪 events) and why this matters.
cc @EUinIsrael @JosepBorrellF @HelgaSchmid_EU @vonderleyen @eu_eeas
1/n @EL_AL_AIRLINES plane from Tel Aviv to UAE carried no European officials and no 🇪🇺 flags. And Europe had no role in the 1979 Israel-Egypt and 1994 Jordan-Israel peace treaty. Why not?
2/n Almost all EU diplomats, foreign policy officials, "experts", etc operate through simplistic misguided prisms based on post-1945 images of normative (soft) power, rules-based international order, etc.Totally inapplicable to MidEast - as a result, Europe has little credibility
