Anne Herzberg describes the hypocrisy of the UK's protecting its soldiers from claims against them in British courts, while funding the very same campaign against Israel.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs oversees and facilitates government funding to some of the most biased and politicized regional NGOs, including a number involved in BDS and "lawfare" campaigns against Israel.
Anne Herzberg calls upon the UN and EU to commit to their claims of neutrality, and stop financing and promoting the whitewashing of Palestinian violence.
Many highly politicized NGOs that are funded by the IHL Scretariat (composed of Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands) have issued problematic statements regarding the recent wave of terror, which ignore attacks against civilians and Israel's right to self-defense.
Professor Gerald Steinberg and Gilad Segal call upon the European Union and European governments to cease their funding of Palestinian human rights organizations engaged in the incitement, justification, and glorification of terror attacks against Israelis.
