In response to the announcement of a planned parliamentary inquiry into foreign funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their campaigns against the IDF, NGO Monitor released the following statement
NGO Monitor research has influenced European governments to re-think the process for distributing funds to NGOs.
European governments should make their donations to Israeli NGOs transparent, avoiding the need for Israeli legislation requiring such from these groups.
Peace Now fails to differentiate between government and private funding, among other methodological issues, and basis its distorted claims about NGO Monitor on an innaccurate article from Ha´aretz that was published five years ago.
European governments should make their donations to Israeli NGOs transparent, avoiding the need for Israeli legislation requiring such from these groups.
The proposed "Agent Provocateur" Law does not address the problems of foreign government funding for NGOs. The values of transparency and accountability must be pursued, drawing attention to the massive and irresponsible funding from European governments to highly problematic political advocacy NGOs involved in Israeli politics and democracy.
By supporting Breaking the Silences events in Zurich, the Swiss Foreign Ministry, the Municipality of Zurich, and several church groups are inappropriately and immorally contributing to the international delegitimization of Israel.
