Letter to the UN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues

We wish to express JIJ’s profound concern regarding the perilous situation of Christian Palestinians in northern Gaza. We urgently request your intervention to safeguard the rights and well-being of innocent individuals belonging to this minority group by facilitating their immediate evacuation to a safe haven.

Enclosed, please find a letter wherein we respectfully and firmly request the Special Rapporteur on minority issues, under your mandate, to take immediate and decisive action. Collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross is crucial for the prompt evacuation of the 1,000 Christian Palestinians sheltered in Gaza City to a secure location. It is imperative to provide them with essential resources for survival, including access to food, clean water, and medical care.

Hamas is a Terrorist Organization – Petition to the United Nations (UN)

JIJ's petition to the US Ambassador to the United Nations to designate Hamas a terrorist organization.

Despite Hamas’ live-streamed atrocities on October 7th, including murdering civilians, taking hostages, mass rape, torture, dismemberment, and beheading … the United Nations still does not recognize them as a terrorist organization!

Join us in thanking Senators James Lankford (R-OH) & Jacky Rosen (D-NV) for taking the lead on this important initiative. Add your voice to this committed group of Senators, who are true friends of Israel, and urge Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, to make this a top priority in her negotiation at the UN.

Sign the petition.

Bias Narratives at the Read Cross Social Media

The Jerusalem Institute of Justice leads a coalition of organizations urging the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)  Ms. Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, to turn her attention to the a pressing issue concerning the use of social media by the ICRC in the context of the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict.
The central concern at hand revolves around the balance and neutrality of the content disseminated through ICRC’s social media channels. As an independent and neutral organization dedicated to upholding humanitarian protection for conflict victims and the principles of international humanitarian law (IHL), it is imperative that ICRC’s social media communications maintain a high standard of neutrality, balance, and accuracy in portraying conflicts. Of particular concern is the apparent disproportion in the content’s focus.
