NIF CLAIMS:		But NIF FUNDS Groups:

"If... [an NGO] denies Jews the right to self determination, that organization would not receive a grant from us." - Rachel Liel, NIF-Israel Executive Director, April 2010		Attempting to Erase Israel's Jewish Framework NIF grantee Mada al-Carmel ($200,000 in 2008) calls for a "change in the definition of the State of Israel from a Jewish state," and the implementation of the Palestinian "right of return", meaning the end of Jewish self-determination.
"We deeply disagree with the use of 'apartheid' in the Israeli context." - Daniel Sokatch, NIF CEO, March 2010		Campaigning to Equate Israel with Apartheid NIF grantee B'Tselem's ($357,569 in 2008) Jessica Montell: "I think the word apartheid is useful for mobilizing people because of its emotional power. In some cases, the situation in the West Bank is worse than apartheid in South Africa."
"None of our organizations appeared before the UN [Goldstone] commission." - Rachel Liel, April 2010		Aiding Goldstone and UN Demonization 8 NIF grantees (combined total $2.2 million in 2008) submitted a joint statement to Goldstone alleging "human rights violations for which Israel must be held accountable." Officials from one grantee, PCATI, gave anti-Israel testimony before Goldstone.
"NIF opposes the BDS movement... [and] believes these tactics to be unproductive, inflammatory and ineffective." - Daniel Sokatch, March 2010		Promoting Boycotts, Divestment & Sanctions 5 NIF grantees (combined total $437,224 in 2008) successfully petitioned the Norwegian Pension Fund to divest from Israeli firms.
"We...firmly oppose attempts to prosecute Israeli officials in foreign courts..." - NIF Website: FAQs		Helping to Prosecute Israeli Officials Abroad NIF grantee Adalah ($510,150 in 2008) submitted a legal opinion to a Spanish court in support of a lawfare case against Israeli officials.

There's a line between legitimate criticism of Israel, and support for groups that delegitimize it.		NIF has crossed the line.
