’Israel’ Wants EU to Stop Funding Groups Promoting Its Boycotts
Local Editor
The Zionist entity accused European Union institutions on Friday of funding non-governmental organizations [NGOs] that promote "anti-"Israel" boycotts" and called for the support to end.
Issuing a 40-page study, the Zionist so-called Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy put the scope of such assistance to European and Palestinian groups at 5 million euros in 2016.
It said it based the sum on EU figures for that year, describing them as the latest available.
Meanwhile, the occupation regime has long decried groups like the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions [BDS] movement who criticize the apartheid entity over policies toward the Palestinians.
More than a dozen NGOs "which promote anti-"Israel" boycotts" received the money, "in stark opposition to the EU's own declared policies rejecting such boycotts", the "Israeli" report claimed.
Several million more euros, the ministry said, were channeled to NGOs through third parties that received EU assistance.
The ministry's report included a call for the EU to "immediately halt funding to organizations which promote anti-"Israel" boycotts and de-legitimization".
The study cited a Norwegian NGO and two Palestinian recipients of EU funds as having links with groups considered by the EU, the United States and "Israel" to be "terrorist" organizations.
