The Norwegian government is a major donor to the IHL Secretariat, which in turn funds NGOs that promote BDS and demonization campaigns against Israel.
On January 11, 2015, Israel’s leading nightly news program on Channel 2 aired footage of Ezra Nawi, a radical activist from the NGO “Ta’ayush,” visiting the offices of Israeli NGO Breaking the Silence, where he was provided with NIS 1,400 in cash.
It has been revealed that Breaking the Silence, an Israeli NGO working to influence democracy in Israel, receives massive amounts of funding from foreign (European) governments.
With increased attention being given to the issue in the Knesset, NGO Monitor provides analysis on funding for Israeli NGOs from foreign governments.
During the 30th session of the UN Human Rights Council, a number of highly biased and politicized NGOs, which receive extensive funding from foreign governments, made false, distorted and unsubstantiated allegations, contributing to the international demonization of Israel.
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights, an organization funded by many European governments, distorts the reality of the recent wave of terror, claiming that the attackers are innocent, and denies Israelis of their human rights to life and safety.
While there are widely divergent narratives regarding the village and history of Susiya, many EU-funded NGOs have been active lobbying the Israeli government to prevent the demolition, promoting the Palestinian narrative of victimization.
