As with the discredited and biased Goldstone Report, claims made by a number of Israeli, Palestinian and international NGOs serve as the primary sources for the UN "fact-finding" report on settlements.
Jason Edelstein explains that the Australian government is funding numerous NGOs in the region that demonize Israel and implement activities that make peace more difficult to achieve.
In sharp contrast to Dutch government policy, direct and indirect funding supports NGOs that are active in BDS campaigns. In their response to this report, the Dutch Foreign Minister and State-Secretary of Foreign Affairs indicated that failure to end these activities may result in a cessation of funding.
Many of the grantees actively oppose the compromises necessary for a peace agreement, and engage in anti-Israel campaigns such as BDS (boycotts, divestment, and sanctions) and legal cases against Israeli officials and businesses.
UPDATE: As reported by Palestinian Media Watch, the Spanish government was identified as a sponsor of an ad on PA TV, promoting the boycott of Israeli goods.
