Why Israelis should welcome Palestine's ICC bid All Israeli citizens who hold human rights and democratic values dear should not only support Palestine’s bid to join the International Criminal Court, they should be disheartened by their own government’s response.

Rabbis for Human Rights: Israeli Channel 2 news last night exposed recordings of racist death threats made to RHR's Palestinian field worker, Zacharia Sada: "We will murder you and all your family," "your life is finished," "you are not a person," "you are inferior," "shut up when I'm talking to you" - these are just some of the gems said by the anonymous caller to Zacharia. It is very sad to see such young boys brainwashed and controlled by a theory of racial hatred that distorts and blasphemies Judaism. President and Senior Rabbi of Rabbis for Human Rights, Rabbi Arik Asherman also received similar threats against himself and his family. The threats came in the wake of assistance we gave a Palestinian farmer named Fawzi Ibrahim against extremists from the Esh Kodesh outpost who harass him when he tries to work his land. Unfortunately, the security forces rarely allow him to enter his lands and have admitted to restricting him because they lacked the security forces needed to protect him from the extremists of Esh Kodesh. Despite the threats, Rabbis for Human RIghts will continue to fight for human rights in light of Judaism without fear. To watch the full report (Hebrew) --> http://bit.ly/1xwyVI9

A ‪#‎Jewish‬ man and his girl friend gets jumped and beaten by some racist thugs and no body comes to their rescue except a ‪#‎Muslim‬. This is because ‪#‎Islam‬ calls us to stand against any form of injustice and to help those who need help.

The Quranic standards of justice transcend considerations of race, religion, color, and creed, as Muslims are commanded to be just to their friends and foes alike, and to be just at all levels, as the ‪#‎Quran‬ puts it:

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah(God), even if it be against yourselves, your parents, and your relatives, or whether it is against the rich or the poor...” (Quran 4:135)

According to another Quranic passage:

“Let not the hatred of a people swerve you away from justice. Be just, for this is closest to righteousness…” (Quran 5:8)

With regards to relations with non-Muslims, the Quran further states:

“God does not forbid you from doing good and being just to those who have neither fought you over your faith nor evicted you from your homes...” (Quran 60:8)

Ilan Baruch, former Ambassador of Israel to South Africa: Over the past two decades, Israel has dictated the terms of negotiations to both the Palestinians and the Americans: it must be done in bilateral channels, and aside from the Israelis and Palestinians, only the United States can take part in the process as a facilitator. This has resulted in distorted power dynamics in the negotiation room: the Palestinians have nothing to offer, while the Netanyahu government isn’t interested in the “two states for two peoples” solution based on 1967 borders. This situation must fundamentally change, and the upcoming elections provide a good opportunity to sharpen the message. Israeli-Palestinian relations do not solely belong to Israel. The world has a right and an obligation to intervene. The Americans must clarify that the lack of a breakthrough will lead to a complete deterioration in Israel’s international standing. Israel’s allies must force it to return to the table so that it can reconfigure its strategic interests. The Palestinians’ failure to garner a strong majority to support its resolution brings us to another reconfiguration. As Israel gears up for the elections, the United States and Europe must make clear the price Israeli will pay without a real peace process, as well as what it stands to gain from making peace.....
