CUFI Rejects ICJ Opinion Undermining Jewish Claims In The Holy Land
WASHINGTON – On Friday, the leadership of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, released the following statement rejecting the gross overreach and willful blindness to indisputable facts of anti-Israel activist judges at the United Nations’ International Court of Justice (ICJ).
“The Word of God is true, and the Children of Israel are the indigenous people of the Holy Land. Either of these facts on their own should be enough to rally the world to Israel’s cause.
“Tragically, in a world comfortable with Jew-hatred, the concept of alternative facts, and a court led by an anti-Israel judge, we do not expect the international community will see the light of truth anytime soon.
“Neither the UN nor the ICJ has the authority to make pronouncements about Judea and Samaria.”
The ICJ’s advisory opinion, On the legal consequences arising from the policies and practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, can be read here.
With more than 10 million members, Christians United for Israel is the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States and one of the leading Christian grassroots movements in the world. CUFI spans all fifty states and reaches millions with its educational message.
The CUFI Action Fund, a nonprofit 501(c)(4), nonpartisan organization, is the policy arm of the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, Christians United for Israel (CUFI). The Action Fund is dedicated to ensuring our elected officials hear the perspective of the millions of Christian Zionists across the country.
