- I wish to thank you for your thoughtful article "An
outrageous invastion of American diplomacy". I am one of those "self-hating
Jews" who consider it a honor to be designated in such terms by people
who are not capable to engage in rational debate.
-
- While I fully agree with your reasoning, I believe that
it does not go far enough. It is not sufficient to defend those who criticize
Israeli policies from the slur of antisemitism. It is necessary to expose
Zionist organisations who operate freely in the United States and West
European countries, as racist organisations which should be banned by law.
According to the International Convention on the Abolition of All Forms
of Racial Discrimination, to which most Western democracies are Parties,
states are under the obligation to outlaw racial discrimination as well
as organisations which promote racial discrimination.
-
- The Jewish National Fund is an agency conferred constitutional
status in Israeli legislation by a Basic Law. The JNF is an agency whose
Charter mandates it to develop the land of Israel for the sole benefit
of Jews. The JNF is thus conferred by the legislator in Israel to deal
with rural and urban development to the exclusion of the non-Jewish citizens
and residents of the state. Such activities are deemed racial discrimination
under international law. Furthermore the denial by the Jewish state to
allow non-Jewish refugees to return to their erstwhile homeland is a gross
and blatant form of racial discrimination, for this denial is uniquely
grounded on the fact that the refugees are not Jews.
-
- American Zionist organisations collect regularly funds
to be transferred both to the JNF, support the aims of the JNF, and support
by various means the existence of the racist nature of the State of Israel.
I wonder whether the US legislator would accept to give tax-deductible
status to overseas organisations would include in their Charter provisions
of a discriminatory nature against members of a specific national or religious
denomination, let alone when such organisations undertake in practice a
government function (The JNF is not to be compared to a charitable foundation
of say some Church organisation or a Jewish school in a secular state.
It enjoys specific constitutional status and privileges in the "Jewish"
State) ?
-
- I urge you to call for the prohibition of tax-deductible
status of Zionist organisations in the United States on the ground that
such organistions support or endorse racial discrimination.
-
- If you need more details on the JNF, please don't hesitate
to contact me.

- Kindly,
