NGO report: B'Tselem tops European funding list

BRIAN BLONDY , THE JERUSALEM POST
Human rights organization B'Tselem heads the list of Israeli NGOs receiving funding from European governments.
According to a new report published by NGO Monitor and the Institute for Zionist Strategies, 16 Israeli NGOs received a total of NIS 31.5 million in European funding between the years 2006 and 2009.
B'Tselem, HaMoked and Yesh Din each received at least NIS 8.5m. in European funding, lead by B'Tselem, which received over NIS 12m. during that period, the report found.
These details emerged from a conference on the impact and transparency of European governments held at the Knesset on Tuesday afternoon.
"For over a decade European governments have been manipulating Israeli politics and promoting demonization by funding a narrow group of favored non-governmental organizations," said NGO Monitor's president Gerald Steinberg.
Representatives from B'Tselem, HaMoked and Yesh Din were not present during the proceedings, and only Dr. Gershon Baskin of the Palestinian-Israeli Peace NGO Forum, an unlisted Israeli NGO, addressed the conference. Steinberg said of the 20 NGOs listed in the report, all chose to decline invitations.
B'Tselem and other such group are supports of terrorist and they weaken Israel.
The leaders and member should be arrested for treason and the group declared enemies of the Jewish people.
Democracy is not a license for traitors to side with our enemies.
