“Little known, however, is that the coalition, which has presented itself as "an alliance of over 130 diverse faith-based, humanitarian, and human rights organization" was actually begun exclusively as an initiative of the American Jewish community.
And even now, days before the rally, that coalition is heavily weighted with a politically and religiously diverse collection of local and national Jewish groups. ….

4 Israel - Against ethnic cleansing?

The inference seems to be that organisations are not joining this crusade for humanity because of anti-semitism. A quick glance at the websites of the organisations referred to show that most of them are virulently pro-Israel, and defensive of its actions however disproportionate and murderous they might be.
That may be the real reson that other human rights organisations are not rushing to jump into bed with them.
Trolls on Indymedia have long screamed that we should ignore Palestine and focus on Darfur.
Its difficult to see how you can support what the Israeli state does in Palestine and yet be against what the Sudanese state is accused of doing by proxy.
