Norwegian NGO Funding: Boycotts and Apartheid Rhetoric instead of Peace and Coexistence
NGO Monitor Report, Norwegian NGO Funding: Boycotts and Apartheid Rhetoric instead of Peace and Coexistence, March 12, 2009
Norwegian money continues to be channeled from the MFA and NORAD to many politicized Norwegian, Palestinian and international NGOs. The radical political campaigns promoted by some of these NGOs continue to contradict objectives which the Norwegian government sets out for its development aid, such as the establishment of a Palestinian state through a two-state solution and laying the foundation for resuming peace negotiations. The promotion of democracy, human rights and good governance is also hindered by the financing of NGO campaigns that focus on one-sidedly attacking Israel, while ignoring Palestinian human rights abuses, corruption, and factional violence.
