Research institute says some Mideast organizations receiving grants from Washington ‘demonize Israel, promote BDS campaigns targeting Israel’

A report presented to members of Congress on Tuesday by Jerusalem-based research institute NGO Monitor shows that US Government funding of several political NGOs in the Palestinian Authority and Israel contradicts US policy, has a negative impact on the peace process, and lacks the independent oversight necessary to prevent abuses.
“Some of the NGO grantees conduct activities that sharply contradict program objectives and policies,” said Professor Gerald M. Steinberg, president of NGO Monitor.
“The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), for instance, funded by the US Government, in turn funds political advocacy NGOs that demonize Israel and promote BDS (boycotts, divestment, and sanctions) campaigns targeting Israel. This activity is entirely inconsistent with US policy.”
The reports mentions that one such organization is MIFTAH ($178,740 in 2007-2012), a Palestinian NGO involved in anti-Israel campaigns and anti-Semitism, including repetition of the infamous blood libel and allegations of “the slaughter of Palestinian children,” according to Steinberg.
Another group, “Windows,” received $750,000 in a three-year grant from the US Agency for International Development (USAID). It is described by the Agency as “a tool for Israeli and Palestinian participants to learn about each other.” But according to NGO Monitor, Windows’ Youth Media Program adopts a “Palestinian narrative of the conflict including highly offensive comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany.”
Steinberg said, “Obviously, USAID and NED do not endorse such views, but the funding is indicative of the lack of supervision and transparency in such grants. Self-reporting, without independent evaluation on such complex issues, violates the principles of good governance.”
NGO Monitor urged US officials to conduct “detailed, professional and independent evaluations of NGO activity before grant allocation, during implementation, and at the conclusion of the grant cycle.”
NGO Monitor said it recently received an assurance from US Ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro that “we have put in place greater policy oversight of grant-making decisions over the past few years.”

When the US is actulally funding terrorists killing Amreicans in the US through the wellfare system, this should be no surprise to anyone.
The Tsernaev brothers got free EBT, free education, free vacation to their terrorist ressort of choice, free everything, free lawyers and a free decent burial all funded by American tax payers. Those same tax payers who were screwed by the IRS.
It is actually pathetic, no digusting beyond words.

But never forget we are the good guys !!

Ah, here we go again. It is always our fault. The bad, bad, evil imperialistic West/Europe/US is to blame. Is that what you want say?
Bullshit.
The poor dears are of course merely instruments that we use and then drop. And that’s why they don’t love us?
Horsecrap.
Listen. When will you understand that these guys where not merely instruments but full human beings, equal to us and with the free will and responsibility that we all have.
To say otherwise is to claim that we are superior to these guys and to deny that they make their own choices.
Understand that they were not the innocent victims turned into mosters by us.
We did not drop them.
They hated us before we gave the stingers because we are ‘infidels’.
They hated us while we gave the stingers because we are ‘infidels’.
They hated us after we gave the stingers because we are ‘infidels’.
They hated us after we gave no more stingers because we are ‘infidels’.
They hate us now because we are ‘infidels’.
They will hate us because we are ‘infidels’.
It just happened that at one point in time they hated some other ‘infidels’ more than us.
And it also just happened that at the same time these other ‘infidels’ were our enemy.
And so a temporary alliance was build along the lines: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This was no love realtionship but a kind of alliance that is known since the beginning of mankind.
A pragmatic temporary alliance for the mutual benefit.
It is the nature of such alliances that they quit as soon as they see no more profit in this alliance and that we do the same.
We did them a great favour by giving them weapons, helping them what they wanted to do anyway more efficent.
This way they could kill more ‘infidels’ fi sabil allah before they got to their 72 virgins.
Anyone who expects them to love us or be our friends is an idiot.
They hate us no matter what we do or don’t do.
It is only for our majority that is uneducated in history and geography that they quote all kind of alleged grievances to justify their jihad against us.
Knowing that they hit the right spot in the minds of our selfhating, politically correct liberals, leftist and progressives who think that all evil in the world is caused by Europeans/Americans/The West/The White Man/The Evil Oligarchy/The Rich/The One Percent/The elite etc. they have perfected this game of citing alleged grievances (the crusades, the colonialism, the imperialism, the globalisation, attacks on them that they themselves provoced, the massacre of Srebrenica, the fact that they don’t get their separate cleaning rooms, the fact that they have to eat together with those filthy ‘kuffar’ and anything and everything).
As Raymond Ibrahim has found out in his extensive research of Bin laden’s and Al qaeda’s internal and external documents the reasons for attacking the ‘kuffar’ they gave in English for western consumptions are very different from they reasons they gave to their followers in Arabic.
To us the say that they attack as because we have our troops in Saudia Arabia. To their followers they say that they attack us because we are ‘infidels’ and that all ‘infidels’ must be subdued until islam and sharia rules the world.
And for the record. We ARE the good guys. All in all the world has benefited more from the western, greco-roman, judeo-christian civilisation than it has lost.
The fact that we are able to have this conversation right now over thousands of miles at the speed of light is owed to this very civilization. All our freedoms and liberties and the standard of living that we enjoy is owed to this civilization. This is a fact that no one who is objective can deny.
I hope that I made my point clear.
In case I misunderstood you, feel free to correct me.

Well said Artaxes. Aren’t bankers more dangerous than standing armies. 🙂 It is going to be mess but I like the chances of Israel, NATO in dealing with Middle East affairs. Have to act sooner than later.
May 22, 2013 at 12:39 AM

May 22, 2013 at 12:59 AM
Well that is the West, the bankers with standing armies.
May 22, 2013 at 1:08 AM
And who stands behind the bankers?

Our banksters got our politicians in their pockets. It is like bankster robbing the masses in broad daylight and still not one of them sent to jail with Bubba so far. Eventually the sleeping masses will wake up and say enough is enough.

But whit all the blessing from our civilization , it is you still not clear that there are people who do not want our shit forced on them.
Be aware for the self-righteousness people.
May 22, 2013 at 12:34 AM
You calling me self-righteous? That’s dirt cheap.
Seems that namecalling is the only thing you are capable of.when you are out of arguments.
I refuted already your points.
Your answer shows me that you neither have the depth of thought nor the willingness to address my points. You chose rather to deflect further, emitting ideological talking points that have nothing to do with my arguments which shows me that in your core you are an ideologue who is not willing to compare his positions with reality.
Im not interested in discussions with people who throw their ideological prefabricated talking points instead of addressing the arguments at hand thinking of themselves how cool they are.
Frankly it’s just boring and unstimulating. I am not interested in this shit.
In short. You are a joke who is not worth any further response from me.
Bye Bye.
May 22, 2013 at 4:19 AM
There is nothing more self righteous than someone who kills another who does not believe in the same things.

It is a kind of charming this not matured naivety , that over simplified world view..
I know it is coming from good harts, but that makes it not realistic
The name of the game is winning what ever it takes, for facts you can dig in to the histories
To give you just an example, ever heard about Operation Northwoods ? and good guy Bomber Harris
Realistic is that in this long standing ¨cold¨war every method is used an will be used to get done what has t be done , and every side in this game do the same.
That is all what i was trying to say.
War is dirty even if you are whit the good guys .
So some times we are dirty good guys.
I wonder myself sometime why the cool aid is not working for me.
So forget nice and good and lets win this game
May 22, 2013 at 1:34 PM
Joop your are absolutely full of crap so make yourself disappear,and you know sweet FA about what your talking about,bomber Harris you definitely dont know anything about operation northwoods,it was planed by a member of my family,and every time you post we get a closer fix on your location

It does not profit a man to argue with a fool.
But it is funny as hell to watch him, because the fool is always the last one to recognize his folly.
Seems that I’m going to have a lot of fun. A heartfelt thanks to the fool. This is a great day.

If this mutual attacking does not stop, I will close the comments. Tolerate each others views. Disagree if you like, but NO MORE PERSONAL ATTACKS.
My friends, this site is about much bigger issues.
I intend to keep it that way.
Couth up the act !
