The US State Department has offered a grant of up to $987,654 for projects that include reporting human rights violations by Israel, raising concern about the potential for abuse by organizations seeking boycotts, sanctions and international law tribunals against Israel. The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announced "an open competition for projects that strengthen accountability and human rights in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza" last month, thought to be the first of its kind from Washington.(Snip)Prof. Gerald Steinberg, Director of NGO Monitor, which tracks funding for NGOs dealing with Israel-related issues, said he has never seen a US funding announcement of this kind.

FTA: According to Steinberg, “the language [of the NOFO] is reflective of what European governments use to justify funding organizations like Al Haq and Breaking the Silence,” Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations, respectively, that have advocated for boycotts of Israel and for Israeli officials to be tried for war crimes.
“It’s hard to see any other explanation for this type of grant,” he said.
Such human rights organizations targeting Israel are “an industry on the order of at least $50 million to Israel and Palestinian groups from European governments, plus there is UN support. It’s even more if you include Human Rights Watch and Amnesty” – which have accused Israel of being an apartheid state – “and this funding could, in theory, go to them,” Steinberg said.
Blinken recently met with Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth and Amnesty's Secretary-General Agnes Callamard, releasing only a brief tweet in which he said: "We support the important work of human rights defenders." He commended their work in a speech about the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar.

Please take note of Professor Steinberg’s concern regarding certain human rights organizations: “...that have advocated for boycotts of Israel and for Israeli officials to be tried for war crimes.”

Once again, the socialist left shows its antisemite views. Can anybody think of another national socialist that was an antisemite?
Are they offering grants for human right violations in Saudi Arabia where is a tourist wears a Christian crucifix that can be jailed? How about the illegitimate president's main benefactors China no human abuse going on there?

Instead, I would like to report on the human rights violations that have occurred in the U.S. since Covid, which was created by the U.S.

Please explain to me why so many Jewish people are avid democrat supporters when democrats have made it clear that they despise Israel. Do these individuals honestly believe that democrats can separate their animosity from Israel and Jewishness? It makes no logical sense. The state of Israel is founded upon their faith. It exists because of their religious beliefs. Therefore, being against Israel is being against the Jewish people and still many of these movers and shakers are rabid democrats. Is this what it means to be a self-hating Jew? Can we draw a correlation between the black community that clings to a party that despises them and the Jewish members of the democrat party? It appears so. The country is on the wrong track when it sides against Israel, but this is typical of this bumbling despicable administration. I have never seen anything like it. They get every single issue wrong.

This is what happens when you bring Palestinians, Iranians and other terrorists into positions of power in the US. Their natural hatred of Israel can not be suppressed. Nobody should hold power in our government who wasn't born here and is not a slave to primitive prejudices.

# 9 The Jews are a relatively small group of people.For most of their existence they've been persecuted. They sympathize and empathize with other groups that have also been persecuted. The bulk of them came to America in the late 19th , early 20th century. They married, had children and those children grew up with a democrat, FDR ,( 12 + years) as their president. Their parents voted democrat and so did they.They then married, had kids and those kids went to liberal arts colleges and became the " hippies " and anti war marchers. They too married and had kids, sent their kids to liberal colleges . A perpetuation of party affiliation without questioning. Jewish liberal democrats go back generations, a family thing. Jews are great at many things
( law, medicine,physics, music, they invented Hollywood ) but seeing and understanding the truth about the democrat party is not one of them. Some have seen the light , most haven't.
P.S I'm Jewish.

Lest anyone forget, individuals or nations: Genesis 12:2-3 – “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, AND HIM WHO DISHONORS YOU I WILL CURSE, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

#5 is in luck:
go to dailyclout.io where they are now crowdsourcing volunteers from all professions, talents, and eager hearts and minds,
to analyse and make sense out of the mountainous document dumps--those which were to be hidden by drug mfgers. for 75 years.
reports are they've got thousands of volunteers--w/ hundreds of doctors, lawyers, experts, and techies, to assemble and
study every angle of the vxx wars, the clinical trials, the missing records and patients, the insurance, the injuries and deaths,
the economic /educational attacks , the abuses of civilians / military, the admissions, omissions, and lies.
it's a big club-and you can be a part of it.
