“Outside the Club” – Opinion

Yaakov Hagoel

Jerusalem Post, Jan. 27, 2022

“This is the day when a shout goes out from one end of the world to the other; antisemitism is antisemitism is antisemitism, no matter what cloak it tries to hide behind.”

Each club has its own entrance ticket which sets its members apart. Political parties, teams, sports associations and even gyms issue unique membership cards, symbols or flags to define who belongs to them and who does not.

The ‘International Morals Club’ also has an entrance ticket. The ‘entrance ticket’ to this club is called hatred of Israel. Members can be found at student gatherings at universities abroad, on social media forums, at demonstrations and during every speech of an Israeli ambassador or personality.

The International Morals Club’s flags include a wide variety of symbols and slogans:
‘Boycott Israel,’ ‘Apartheid State,’ ‘IDF slaughters children’ and more.
Do you wave these flags? If you answered yes, you may enter the ‘Morals Club.’ Do you reject it? You will be declared simpleminded, ignorant and fascist.

Yaakov Hagoel is Chairman of the World Zionist Organization and Acting chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel.
