While Law for Palestine claims to provide "enriched, multifaceted, and objective legal content on Palestine-Israel," it continuously distorts and takes out of context in order to serve Law for Palestine’s political agenda of demonizing Israel.
Many NGOs receiving Swedish government funding oppose a two-state formula, promote BDS efforts and lawfare cases against Israeli officials, and engage in antisemitic activities.
Diakonia’s “International Humanitarian Law” (IHL) program, which has its own online “Resource Center,” exploits international law, demonizes Israel, and promotes anti-Israel lawfare campaigns and a narrative based solely on Palestinian victimization. The IHL program focuses exclusively on Israel, and Diakonia does not conduct similar types of programs in terms of content or resources involving any other conflict region in the world.
Church of Sweden is an Evangelical-Lutheran community that promotes settlement goods labeling and supports the “World Week of Peace in Palestine Israel,” organized by the World Council of Churches, which calls for “advocacy and action in support of an end to the illegal occupation of Palestine.”
Kvinna Till Kvinna receives most of its funding from the Swedish government and subsequently funds NGOs active in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands jointly fund Israeli and Palestinian NGOs through the Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat (the “Secretariat”).
