This is accomplished most powerfully through the disbursement of about one billion dollars towards various Jewish organizations and interests within the state. Just like any political body, the Congress is made of parties which represent different interests in the Jewish world. The party affiliated with the Conservative Movement and which works to broaden reli- gious and cultural pluralism in Israel is MERCAZ. The more votes MERCAZ gets, the larger the financial allocation to Conservative affiliated institutions in Israel like The Masorti Movement, NOAM youth movement, TALI, Machon Schechter, Masorti Olami, and more. Since the last World Zionist Congress election in 2015, it is safe to say that these institutions together have received around $10,000,000. So, we are not talking about small sums! Here is more detailed information: 1) Every 5 years, Jews around the world are asked to step-up and be counted in the World Zionist Congress election. The elections are taking place right now until March 11th. There are 507 total representatives in the Congress which are divided amongst different countries around the world: 190 representatives come from Israel, 165 from the Diaspora (excluding the US), and 152 from the United States, by far the largest contingent from a single country outside of Israel, comprising almost one third of all elected representatives.

  • Muslim Supporters of Israel 1 Muslim Supporters of Israel
    Muslim supporters of Israel 1 Muslim supporters of Israel Muslim supporters of Israel are Muslims who support self-determination for the Jewish people, and a homeland for them in Israel. This support should not be confused with support for the policies and actions of the modern Israeli state. Some Muslim clerics, such as Sheikh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi, Director of the Cultural Institute of the Italian Islamic Community,[1] [2] and Imam Dr Muhammad Al-Hussaini[3] believe that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land, and the establishment of the State of Israel, are in accordance with teachings of Islam.[4] [5] Some Muslim supporters of Israel consider themselves 'Muslim Zionists'.[6] [7] [8] Muslims who publicly supported Zionism include Dr. Tawfik Hamid,[9] Tashbih Sayyed, a Pakistani-American scholar, journalist, and author,[10] and the Bangladeshi journalist Salah Choudhury. Additional Muslim people who voiced public support for Israel included figures such as Irshad Manji, Salim Mansur, Abdurrahman Wahid, Abdullah Saad Al-Hadlaq, Zuhdi Jasser and Khaleel Mohammed.[11] In the Muslim world, support of Israel is a minority orientation, and supporters of Israel have at some occasions faced intolerance and violence.[12] [13] History Middle Ages According to British-based Imam Muhammad Al-Hussaini, traditional commentators from the eighth and ninth century onwards have uniformly interpreted the Qur'an to say explicitly that the Land of Israel has been given by God to the Jewish people as a perpetual covenant.[3] [14] Hussaini bases his argument

I am not affiliated with any political group or communal organisation. I believe this independence is important and adds to the integrity of the work. Since 1990, I have been researching the conflicts involving Israel and fighting the delegitimisation campaign since 2000. For several years I have also been combatting rising antisemitism both on the far-right and far-left. The findings of my research have been covered in media across the globe. The support I receive from those who understand the importance of the work, makes much of what I do possible. I simply could not do it without their kind and generous assistance. The work can and does make a difference. I was recently named by the Algemeiner as one of their ‘J100’, a list of the top 100 Jews worldwide ‘positively influencing Jewish life’.1 The delegitimisation campaign against Israel and the rise of antisemitism are linked. I firmly believe we must expose it and face it down. We *HAVE TO* be there to witness, report, expose and fight it. If you can, please consider donating towards the ongoing research. Either a single amount or, if you can, a monthly contribution. Every amount is greatly appreciated. Research such as this is intensive, and at times expensive.

But next Saturday, Khaldi will leave his tiny village of Khawalid -- population 450 -- in the northern Galilee region and fly to San Francisco to become Israel’s first Bedouin diplomat and the nation’s first Muslim to rise through the ranks of the Israeli foreign service. Of the more than 1 million Israeli Arabs, only 170,000 are Bedouins, many of whom were once nomadic desert dwellers. In recent years, Arab radicals in the Israeli parliament and Islamic movements who deplore the existence of the Jewish state have dominated Israeli-Arab relations, and the 6-year-long Palestinian intifada has stretched their allegiance to Israel to a breaking point. But Khaldi, while conceding that the situation of Arabs in Israel “is not perfect,” is an unrepentant Israeli who says he is not betraying his Arab “brothers” by becoming the new Israeli consul to San Francisco.
