[Opinion] Stop letting ‘neutral’ NGOs aid terrorism
[Excerpts]
Major organizations claiming to promote humanitarian agendas, such as Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam and Save the Children, are often portrayed as altruistic and politically neutral, but the reality is more complex and less rosy, particularly when these groups run major operations in conflict zones controlled by terrorist regimes, as in the Gaza Strip.
For Israel, the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-committed atrocities underscored the need for closer oversight. Officials and staffers from the United Nations and nongovernmental organizations were found to have actively cooperated in diverting materials and funds to the construction of terrorist infrastructure, namely Hamas’ massive tunnel network. Instead of maintaining neutrality, many groups continue to play key roles in anti-Israel lawfare and demonization campaigns, such as allegations of genocide, starvation and war crimes.
