Civil Rights? Not for Jews in Israel

One of the leading abusers of Jewish civil rights and propagators of injustice in Israel has struck again. The deceptively named Association of Civil Rights in Israel is now leading a campaign against Jews wishing to build homes in the Land of Israel.

But this time it’s not what you think. The villains at the ACRI aren’t fighting some building project in “the illegal settlements” in the West Bank, but the construction of an apartment building inside the State of Israel, in the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo no less.

That’s right. The ACRI is actually fighting the construction of an Israeli project
IN ISRAEL, IN TEL AVIV. They argue that the neighborhood, which is largely Arab, should not have Jews moving in.

What about Arabs living in Jewish areas? The ACRI has fought over the years (and won) legal battles enabling Arabs to live in Jewish communities. So what we see here cannot possibly have anything to do with equality or civil rights.

Let’s be honest and call them out for what they really are. The ACRI is a fascistic anti-Semitic organization which is against the Jewish state per se. This is beyond any leftwing-rightwing argument over the future of the West Bank, or legal arguments over its ownership. This goes beyond any reasonable argument and places these dangerous characters in the same category as the terrorists who seek Israel’s demise.

The anarchists in the ACRI, while posing as protectors of civil rights, have time and time again taken actions which violate Jewish civil rights and safety, including the opening of the Israeli 443 highway to Palestinian Authority Arabs despite the danger to every person who uses the road; the violence against Jews living in homes they recovered from Arab squatters in east Jerusalem; and now by struggling to prevent Jews from living on their own legally purchased property in Tel Aviv.

If these people lived anywhere else but Israel and were of any other nationality besides Jewish, we could call them anti-Semites and Nazis. It is outrageous that such an organization is allowed to exist in our country.
