[Excerpt:]

"In addition, European government funding for dozens of radical pro-Palestinian "civil society" and human rights organizations that are campaigning on behalf of Hamas is a major problem. These groups, including the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) and Adalah, led public relations efforts to portray the situation in Gaza as a "humanitarian crisis," and encouraged the Hamas leadership to expect international pressure in preventing the Israeli military action. The wave of denunciations and anti-Israel demonstrations in many Western European cities – including London and Paris – are also supported by groups such as the French "International Federation for Human Rights" (FIDH) and the EU’s Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network. In a joint statement, these groups "strongly condemn the wide-scale aerial offensive by the Israeli Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip which started on December 27th, 2008 and killed almost 300 Palestinians." As on many occasions in the past, the bias is blatant."
