New Israel Fund Benefactors Also Funded By Governments of Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands
Amidst this week’s bombshell revelation that The New Israel Fund (NIF) received more than $1 million from the U.S. State Department, it can now be revealed that the governments of Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands also have funded the extremist activities of NIF-funded organizations.
The Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat (the “Secretariat”) is based in Ramallah, and funded by Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In March 2014, the Secretariat announced $10.5 million in funding, over three years, for 24 Israeli and Palestinian NGOs, including groups that engage in legal warfare against Israeli officials and companies that do business with Israel, promote BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanctions) campaigns, and exploit the false “apartheid” analogy to demonize Israel.
Naturally, NIF-funded organizations are amongst their grantees. Those receiving monies include Breaking the Silence and B’Tselem received special funding from the Secretariat in order to investigate violations of human rights and international law during Operation Protective Edge. Adalah, another NIF funded organization created a report on Operation Protective Edge and sent the report’s findings directly to the United Nations commission investigating this issue, despite the fact that Israel decided not to cooperate with the commission.
This “Secretariat” also funds Palestinian organizations that support the prosecution of IDF officers, and organizations that cooperate with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Clearly, the welfare of The State of Israel is not their foremost concern.
The New Israel Fund has many financial partners — including the State Department, Palestinians in Ramallah, the Governments of Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands — and self-hating American Jews.

The Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Yoni Chetboun recently noted that “The main goal of the New Israel Fund (NIF) is to undermine the Israeli Army, by knowingly financing left-wing Israeli groups that try to get young Israeli soldiers prosecuted for war crimes.” That is consistent with the grants provided by these European governments.

American Jews — including the President of UJA-Federation, Alisa Doctoroff — who fund the New Israel Fund are harmful to the State of Israel. To stand with the New Israel Fund is to stand against Israel.
