YOUNG ISRAEL MOVEMENT FILES SUPREME COURT LEGAL BRIEF IN LANDMARK RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION CASE
 
The National Council of Young Israel (NCYI), in conjunction with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, recently filed a legal brief in the United States Supreme Court on behalf of a coalition of minority religious groups - including Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, and African American and Hispanic Christians - to defend the right of religious organizations to remain autonomous and to choose their members and leaders without being accused of engaging in religious discrimination.
 
Hastings, a state-run law school located in San Francisco, California, banned an organization called the Christian Legal Society (CLS) from the list of officially recognized student groups on campus, thereby precluding CLS from engaging in school sanctioned activities, utilizing the school facilities, and publicizing its events via school-issued email addresses. According to Hastings, CLS violates the school's policy against discrimination on the basis of religion because CLS requires its leaders and voting members to be practicing Christians who abstain from intimacy outside of marriage.

AMERICAN ISRAEL ACTION COALITION CRITICIZES US CONGRESSMEN
 
The American Israeli Action Coalition (AIAC) today strongly criticized a group of 54 U.S. Congressmen for falsely charging that Israel was inflicting “collective punishment” on the residents of the Gaza Strip.
 
AIAC is a non-partisan, non-political, issue-oriented NGO whose purpose is to represent the united voice of the more than 250,000 Americans living in Israel on issues which affect Israel, Israel-U.S. relations, and the Jewish people worldwide.
 
In a recent letter to President Obama, the 54 Congressmen (all Democrats) charged that “the blockade imposed by Israel… following Hamas’ coup and particularly following Operation Cast Lead” imposed a “de facto collective punishment… of the residents of the Gaza Strip.” 
 
 
YOUNG ISRAEL MOVEMENT CALLS PRESENTATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD A "TRAVESTY"

The National Council of Young Israel (NCYI) today called the presentation of a human rights award to Judge Richard Goldstone a "travesty."  Goldstone, who authored a nearly 600-page report about Israel's military operations in Gaza, received the first-ever Stockholm Human Rights Award, which is a joint initiative by the International Bar Association, the International Legal Assistance Consortium and the Swedish Bar Association.  The award will be presented each year to an individual or an institution for outstanding contributions to the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I stand here today as the Prime Minister of Israel, the Jewish state, and I speak to you on behalf of my country and my people.
