Building Bridges Not Boycotts International summit at the UN: full event

More than 1,500 students, dignitaries, public officials and representatives of Jewish organizations took part in a conference. The forum was organized by Israel’s Mission to the United Nations and the World Jewish Congress, along with a number of other partners. Addressing the opening plenary in the UN General Assembly Hall, WJC President Lauder pointed out that the United Nations, which had been “created on the broken bones of the Jewish people” after World War II, was now singling out the only Jewish state for criticism.
