Members of the NGO network exploit the complexity of the Beduin to promote the broader process of anti-Israel demonization.
The involvement of political advocacy NGOs in the issue over Bedouin citizens and land claims in the Negev contributes significantly to the demonization and delegitimization of Israel.
Repeating the false rhetoric and narrative of political advocacy NGOs, a Member of the European Parliament from the S&D group accuses Israel of "ethnic cleansing" of Bedouins.
NIFs rhetoric, activities, and publications regarding Israel are often divisive and destructive, including stereotyping of minorities and critics, in contrast to NIFs claimed progressive objectives
Approximately 26% of NIF's 2010 funding ($4.3 million) went to highly politicized groups involved to varying degrees in delegitimization campaigns. The 2010 grants do not reflect any apparent changes or implementation of NIF guidelines.
