Announcement

As a result of our report on the Habitat International Coalition (HIC), the President of the Ford Foundation announced that funding for the activities of the highly political and anti-Israel NGO will be reviewed. This is part of Ford's decision to halt support for organizations involved in incitement, anti-Semitism and denial of the legitimacy of Israel. In a letter to the Anti-Defamation League, the Ford President noted, "Our review of the HIC Web site revealed material that we find offensive and deeply troubling... We will now have an immediate, full and serious discussion with relevant members of HIC's leadership about these matters... As we have made clear, we will not support groups that promote or engage in violence, terrorism bigotry or the destruction of any state." (Reported in an ADL Press Release of February 9)
