A network of NGOs and CSR companies are active in promoting boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaigns in Europe, by lobbying institutions and corporations to divest from Israel.
Transparency regarding government funding for NGOs transcends partisan ideology, and is essential for ensuring the values of democracy and accountability.
Gerald Steinberg maintains that European government funding has enabled Israeli NGO Zochrot to transform from a fringe political NGO to a major media attraction whose highly partisan and false agenda is accepted at face value by international journalists.
Gerald Steinberg claims that anti-Zionist NGOs promote false allegations of "racism" and "discrimination" in an effort to reverse the definition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.
Israeli NGO Zochrot is scheduled to host an event at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque on November 27-29, 2014, titled 48mm- The 2nd International Film Festival on Nakba and Return.
Yitzhak Santis asserts that that until Christian funding of anti-Israel NGOs comes to an end, no credence should be given to the claim of their acting on any kind of ethical prophetic voice.
