Anti-Israel and pro-BDS NGO, the Iceland-Palestine Association, is closely connected to the boycott of Israel in Iceland's capital.
The ongoing government funding for NGOs that engage in antisemitic activities and utilize antisemitic rhetoric highlights the persistent double standard: Hatred of Jews is tolerated in a way that would be unthinkable for other racial, ethnic, or religious groups.
The vast majority of the speakers listed on the program are virulent anti-Israel ideologues who demonize Israel.
As in previous rounds of the Arab-Israeli conflict, political NGOs have issued numerous unfound statements condemning Israel.
Many NGOs that claim a human rights mandate have remained silent regarding the recent kidnappings and murders, while most NGOs that have released statements have created an artificial balance by also criticizing Israel and/or blaming Israel.
The most effective and immediate strategy to confront BDS and this form of political warfare is to end the massive funding given to radical NGOs that promote this anti-Israel warfare in the Netherlands and elsewhere.
Gerald Steinberg maintains that the BDS campaign is financed by hundreds of millions of dollars, euros, pounds, and krona provided to NGOs that operate cynically under the faade of human rights and similar ethical principles.
The MLA convention, scheduled for January 2014, will consider a draft resolution condemning Israel and using supporting materials by Right to Enter", Electronic Intifada, and BTselem.
