The Greater Orlando Jewish Federation stands with JFNA and strongly condemns Amnesty's 'apartheid' report

The Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando stands with its parent organization, the Jewish Federations of North America, as well as the ADL, and the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with many others in strongly condemning the factually inaccurate report issued by Amnesty UK.

We stand in support of the democratic State of Israel.

Jewish Federations of North America President and CEO Eric Fingerhut released the following statement regarding Amnesty International UK’s report on Israel:

Jewish Federations strongly condemn Amnesty International UK’s report that promulgates false claims against the Jewish state, irresponsibly distorts international law, and advances hateful and disparaging rhetoric associated with age-old antisemitic tropes, while ignoring or whitewashing violence, terror and incitement committed by Palestinians.

This report is the latest in a litany of anti-Israel propaganda that has contributed to a rise in hate crimes against Jewish communities around the world and continues to embolden extremist currents that threaten all minority groups.

Jewish Federations call upon the human rights community to condemn this disparaging and falsely painted report and stand up for truth and justice.
