Gerald Steinberg maintains that instead of providing feeble and insensitive excuses, Germany has a fundamental and immediate responsibility to stop all support for the NGO political war demonizing Israel.
The German government funds organizations that contribute to the growing demonization of Israel and BDS campaigns. Such funding is a major source in manipulating German societal perceptions of Israel and constitutes a misuse of taxpayer monies.
On September 29, 2014, an official of Israeli NGO Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions (ICAHD) hosted an event in London aimed at exploring the current political situation in Israel and what activists can do to change it.
A new report from watchdog NGO Monitor has found that the German government has indirectly been funding organizations that engage in anti-Israel activity.
