European Governments Have Been Manipulating Israeli Politics for Years
(Jerusalem Post) Brian Blondy - Sixteen Israeli NGOs received a total of NIS 31.5 million in European funding between the years 2006 and 2009, according to a new report published by NGO Monitor and the Institute for Zionist Strategies, discussed at a conference on the impact and transparency of European governments held at the Knesset on Tuesday. "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 Prof. Gerald Steinberg. NGO Monitor is calling for full transparency when foreign government money is used by NGOs.
