"Established in 1997, the Mossawa Center strives to improve the social, economic and political status of the Arab citizens of Israel, while preserving their national and cultural rights as Palestinians"
Donors (according to Mossawa, Dec 2006) include European Commission, New Israel Fund, Moriah Fund, Oxfam UK, Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2006, the Mossawa Center received $125,120 from the New Israel Fund. In addition to funds from NIF's budget, support was provided by private donations channeled through NIF.
Mossawa's main focus is political, and aims to delegitimize on the basis of blanket charges of racism and other pejoratives. It often removes or minimises the context of terrorism to demonize Israeli security measures; and promotes legal arguments to undermine the State.
