\n

Leaked documents seen by NGO Monitor and an analysis of public statements from NGO officials indicate that Amnesty International will conduct a series of intense campaigns singling out Israel in early 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this process, Amnesty will delegitimize Jewish historical connections to Jerusalem and elsewhere, as well as promote discriminatory boycotts (BDS) against Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Campaigns<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amnesty\u2019s 2019 attacks will include at least two components:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Amnesty\u2019s Blacklist:\u00a0<\/strong>A \u201cnew campaign targeting some of the businesses that are profiting from human rights abuses by operating in the illegal Israeli settlements.\u201d This language mirrors that used by UN bureaucrats preparing the\u00a0UNHRC blacklist<\/a>. The list is aimed at economically damaging companies that are owned by Jews or do business with Israel, and is ultimately meant to harm the Jewish state. Amnesty\u2019s campaign is timed to bolster this UN blacklist, for which Amnesty has been\u00a0lobbying<\/a>\u00a0intensively<\/a>, and to serve as an alternative should the UN not publish its list.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Amnesty documents, seen by NGO Monitor, also show the NGO specifically seeks to censure companies that educate the public about Jewish history and historical ties to Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u201cBan Israeli settlement goods\u201d:\u00a0<\/strong>A\u00a0continuation<\/a>\u00a0of a\u00a0campaign<\/a>\u00a0to press governments, in particular the UK, to \u201cto ban Israeli settlement goods from entering your markets, and to stop companies based in your country operating in settlements or trading in their goods.\u201d\u00a0 Amnesty has built dedicated website sections for this purpose. In addition, it has\u00a0supported legislation in Ireland<\/a>\u00a0that, if enacted, will\u00a0criminalize visiting Jewish historical and holy sites,<\/a>\u00a0including Jerusalem\u2019s Old City, and purchasing goods and services from Jews located for whatever reason or duration in Jerusalem and over the 1949 Armistice Lines.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Amnesty\u2019s Antisemitism Problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Amnesty\u2019s 2019 attacks on the Jewish state come at a time when NGO is facing increased criticism over its own deeply-rooted antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n

      In 2018, Amnesty antagonized the British Jewish community by cancelling a debate sponsored by the UK\u2019s Jewish Leadership Council, scheduled to be held at Amnesty\u2019s Human Rights Centre in London. And when Amnesty\u00a0conducted<\/a>\u00a0\u201can unprecedented large scale analysis of abuse against women on Twitter,\u201d it included sexism and racism against female journalists and politicians,\u00a0but not antisemitism<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Similarly, Amnesty has done little to no campaigning on the rising number of violent antisemitic incidents in the United States and Europe. In April 2015, Amnesty-UK\u00a0rejected an initiative<\/a>\u00a0to \u201cCampaign against anti-Semitism in the UK,\u201d as well as \u201cLobby the UK Government to tackle the rise in anti-Semitic attacks in Britain\u201d and \u201cmonitor anti-semitism closely\u201d- the only proposed resolution at the Annual General Meeting that was not adopted.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Notably, Amnesty-UK continues to employ Kristyan Benedict, who has made\u00a0multiple antisemitic comments<\/a>\u00a0(including against female Members of Parliament).<\/span><\/p>\n

      In other words, instead of recognizing the fight against antisemitism as a human rights issue worthy of attention, Amnesty has decided instead to ratchet up its targeting of the Jewish state.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n
