Habitat International Coalition's Anti-Israel Agenda
(NGO Monitor) Ford Foundation President Susan Berresford pledged that Ford has taken steps to ensure its funds no longer go to "groups that promote or condone bigotry or violence, or that challenge the very existence of legitimate, sovereign states like Israel." Yet the Ford Foundation, along with a number of other European funding agencies, continues to provide funding for the highly politicized work of Habitat International Coalition (HIC). HIC's Middle East/North Africa office disseminates thinly veiled anti-Israel propaganda, part of a much wider process of self-defined "humanitarian" NGOs highjacking the human rights agenda for partisan anti-Israel ideological goals.
