How Anti-Israel NGOs Are Abusing Christmas
(Times of Israel) Ariella Kimmel - Instead of spreading messages of peace, European-funded NGOs are using the Christmas season to advance their politicized anti-Israel campaigns. For example, Christian Aid, which largely operates on a budget from the public pockets of Britain and Ireland, used its Christmas materials for attacks against Israel, describing travel restrictions imposed on Palestinians while completely removing the context of Palestinian mass terror which necessitates these security measures. Sabeel, which is funded by the Swedish government via Diakonia, in its annual Christmas message this year makes use of an anti-Semitic analogy equating the Palestinians with Jesus and Israel with the evil Roman Empire. Kairos Palestine published a 32-page "Christmas Alert" blaming Israel for a "severe water crisis" in villages near Bethlehem, ignoring the Palestinian Authority's full responsibility through mismanaging water distribution in Palestinian areas.
