AIPAC Response to the “Commission of Inquiry”

"The U.N. Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry (COI) report is nothing more than a baseless and biased attack against our democratic ally Israel. The report rehashes more than 50 years of discriminatory and one-sided U.N. reports, commissions and resolutions that inaccurately blame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the Jewish state – laying the groundwork for future boycotts against Israel and justifying terrorism against Israeli citizens.

The authors of the COI refuse to accept Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, and they ignore the historic and ongoing refusal of the Palestinians to accept Israel as a Jewish state as the root cause of the conflict.

The United States must reject this biased, U.N.-funded attack against the Jewish state. Congress should pass the bipartisan COI Elimination Act to ensure no U.S. funding supports this anti-Israel body."
