Israel’s NGO Monitor reports that European countries are funding a network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
The PFLP is designated as a terrorist organization by the US, EU, Canada, and Israel and is involved in suicide bombings, hijackings, and assassinations, among other terrorist activities targeting civilians.
Addameer, Al-Haq, Alternative Information Center (AIC), Defense for Children International- Palestine (DCI-P), Health Work Committee (HWC), Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), Stop the Wall, and the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) are NGOs either directly affiliated with the PFLP or have a substantial presence of employees and officials connected to the terrorist group.
For example, Abdul-latif Ghaith, chairperson and co-founder of the official PFLP “affiliate” Addameer, as well as Al Haq's General Director, Shawan Jabarin. On July 7, 2008, the Israeli Supreme Court noted that Jabarin is “among the senior activists of the Popular Front terrorist organization. In a June 2007 decision, it called Jabarin a a human rights campaigner by day and a PFLP activist by night.
Prof. Steinberg concludes that funding to these organizations with terror ties should be halted and “Any continued funding raises serious questions about due diligence and evaluation on the part of European governments and the UN, as well as compliance with domestic and international laws.”
Why does he think they didn’t do a due diligence? They did the due diligence and decided that supporting terrorist groups that attack Israel is what they want.
