Irish Aid, Irelands assistance program for developing countries, funds Israeli, Palestinian, Irish, and international NGOs involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict, including many that participate in anti-Israel activities. The same is true for Trcaire, a church-based humanitarian aid framework that also receives government funds.
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.
Labeling Israel an apartheid state is closely linked to BDS campaigns and lawfare cases. Many NGOs falsely portray the Arab-Israeli conflict as a dispute motivated by alleged race-hatred of Arabs.
The Goldstone report is primarily based on statements, publications, and submissions from highly politicized and biased NGOs, many of which are funded by European governments. Beyond adopting the flawed methodologies and false claims, the funding provided for these NGOs links European governments to the Goldstone report, and its contribution to anti-Israel demonization. European-funded groups PCHR, Al Mezan, Al Haq, and Adalah are also at the forefront of the lawfare campaigns that abuse the universal jurisdiction provisions in the legal codes of a number of Western countries using allegations of war crimes.
