  • Established in Bethlehem in 1998 to "provide a resource pool of alternative, critical and progressive information and analysis on the question of Palestinian refugees and displaced persons."
  • With a budget of over $400,000, BADIL has received funding from sources including Oxfam, Canadian International Development Agency, Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, the Swiss Foreign Ministry and church groups. However, in 2004/5, some of these sources have ceased funding Badil or limited support to specific and non-political projects.
  • Engages in promoting politicized and ideological agenda using distorted history of Palestinian refugee issue and adopting the language of demonization.
  • Refuses to recognize Israel as a Jewish state while actively promoting the 'right of return' in order to destroy the Jewish character of Israel.
  • Uses UN resolutions selectively in order to promote its agenda.
