“This constitute economic warfare against Israel” 🧵
Far from a response to Israeli policies, last month's announcement by 🇧🇪 🇨🇦 🇫🇷 🇮🇪 🇳🇱 🇳🇴 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 to significantly expand BDS measures against Israel is part of a decades long NGO campaign. >>
The campaign extends beyond goods produced beyond the 1949 armistice lines – to services, investment and broader economic ties with Israel. Denmark-funded Amnesty Denmark, for example, demands suspension of the EU’s trade agreement with Israel. >>
As NGO Monitor legal advisor @AnneHerzberg14 explains, “these countries paid activist NGOs for years to lobby against themselves and against Israel.”
Read our report on the NGO networks and lobbying behind these measures:

NGO Monitor retweeted
"Evidence points to a small network of activists, more than to a transparent + formally structured org," explains Naftali Shavelson, int'l spokesperson for @NGOmonitor."
I spoke to leading Spanish paper @elmundoes's @ferranbarber re Samidoun, an NGO tied to the PFLP terror group
1/3. Por tercer año consecutivo, la sección española de una organización palestina prohibida en Alemania, incluida por Canadá en su lista de organizaciones terroristas y sancionada por EEUU por sus vínculos con el también terrorista FPLP volvió a celebrar públicamente en Madrid la masacre del 7-O.
Esta vez, Samidoun lo hizo en un centro pastoral católico de Entrevías, con un dirigente de Hamás condenado a nueve cadenas perpetuas por atentados que mataron a nueve personas. Allí elogió el «Diluvio de al-Aqsa», el eufemismo tras el que Hamás parapeta la carnicería de los kibutzim del Néguev occidental, el festival Nova y otras localidades próximas a Gaza, donde fueron asesinadas unas 1.200 personas y secuestradas otras 251.
Por tercer año consecutivo, también, @ACOM_es trató de frenar judicialmente estas celebraciones y volvió a querellarse por presunto enaltecimiento del terrorismo.
El asunto acabó saltando a la primera línea política cuando @IdiazAyuso afirmó que en Sol estaba «la gente» incluida por EEUU y Canadá en sus listas de organizaciones terroristas y exigió al Gobierno aclarar si un grupo con «antecedentes terroristas propalestinos» gestionaba la acampada.
Lo contamos hoy, en la versión impresa de Crónica de @elmundoes
German development funds supported MIFTAH, a Palestinian NGO whose founder dismissed reports of Hamas massacres and rape on October 7 as “nonsense.”
On @welt, NGO Monitor VP @olga_deutsch explains why Germany's NGO funding decisions have consequences for Jewish communities at home. 🧵>>
„Diejenigen, die unter Antisemitismus leiden, sind die Mitglieder der jüdischen Gemeinde in Berlin“ to.welt.de/9aCOvqS
German development aid also supports political advocacy, not just humanitarian services. @olga_deutsch argues that some Palestinian NGOs receiving such support have links to the PFLP and other designated terrorist organizations, making scrutiny of funding recipients essential. >>
“It was a gold mine to get this information straight from Hamas”.
NGO Monitor Researcher @Anaelle555 tells @henrikbeckheim how we obtained and analyzed a cache of internal Hamas documents from Gaza that revealed previously undisclosed cooperation between Hamas and 2 🇳🇴 organizations: NOREF & NRC.
In a recent article for @Aftenposten, @henrikbeckheim discussed NGO Monitor’s findings on 🇳🇴-funded NOREF’s contacts with Hamas and argued that documents we discovered deserve scrutiny.

Article in @tempoweb highlights several findings from NGO Monitor’s Imported Influence report mapping the UK pro-Palestinian protest network, noting its implications beyond the UK: “the network is European and international.”
Quelle dei #ProPal non erano proteste spontanee “dal basso”. Ora è provato da un dossier

“NOREF's contact with Hamas went far beyond ‘conflict resolution.’”
Internal Hamas documents obtained by NGO Monitor reveal that 🇳🇴 government-funded NOREF engaged with Hamas leadership and discussed changing Europe's approach to the terrorist group.
In @Aftenposten, NGO Monitor's Olga Deutsch examines the findings and NOREF's lack of transparency. 👇

🇬🇧 TODAY: New UK sanctions powers take effect, potentially targeting companies and banks.
NGO Monitor has documented the years-long anti-Israel campaign by @Amnesty, @Oxfam, @WarOnWant and other NGOs to extend trade bans supposedly targeting settlements into broader restrictions on investment and commercial ties with Israel.

Our research documents this progression: trade restrictions are used as a stepping stone to broader measures targeting Israel’s trade, investment, defense, technology and financial ties.

At @DIGeV_de’s 60th anniversary in Berlin, NGO Monitor VP @Olga_Deutsch addressed the importance of strengthening German-Israeli relations while confronting antisemitism across the political spectrum.
She emphasized how Germany’s foreign policy, including its support for UNRWA and its response to groups like Samidoun, directly affects the safety of German Jewish communities.
Who is the “human rights” activist that @Amnesty chose to award with €20,000?? 🧵
Far from “defending the rights of children,” Khaled Quzmar led DCI-P, an 🇮🇱-designated terror org that exploited the deaths of Palestinian minors killed while engaging in violent attacks. It gets worse. >>
PCCR itself admitted it has “the same team that previously served at [DCI-P]”. The NGO also noted: “this transition comes in light of the pressures and persecution faced by [DCI-P] from the Israeli occupation authorities, in addition to internal financial and administrative considerations” – alluding to DCI-P’s designation as a terrorist organization and its consequences. >>
