Sadly, Amnesty is advocating for division rather than unity.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/315531991\/a763225fb0<\/p>\n<p>[FB_IINZcomments]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent Amnesty International campaign to outlaw business with Jews living in Judea and Samaria is based on lies and is discriminatory.
