“By singling out the one and only Jewish state for opprobrium, Barcelona’s Mayor Ada Culau, has easily failed multiple tests of prejudice and racism,” Center for Jewish Impact Chairman Robert Singer writes in his latest op-eds in The Jerusalem Post and La Vanguardia, following Culau’s decision to unilaterally suspend ties with Israel.

Aliyah and the Law of Return are the bedrock and foundation of Israel, to change it would be to perhaps irrevocably alter the nature and character of Israel. We invite you to read this piece by the Center for Jewish Impact (CJI) Chairman, Robert Singer, published in the Jerusalem Post today.

We invite you to read Robert Singer's article in the Times of Israel responding to an op-ed by EU Special Envoy, Dr. Sven Koopmans, on why bringing the voice of Israeli civil society to the diplomatic community is crucial in moving forward any regional process.
