Draggingtree Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The Jerusalem Post COLUMN ONE: ISRAEL, AMERICAN JEWRY AND TRUMP’S GOP BYCAROLINE B. GLICK JUNE 22, 2017 22:50 To understand what can and ought to be done, it is first important to understand the nature of the BDS movement. Earlier this month Norway, Denmark and Switzerland did something surprising. Norway announced that it was demanding the return of its money from the Palestinian Human Rights and Humanitarian Law Secretariat, for the latter’s funding of a Palestinian women’s group that built a youth center near Nablus named for PLO mass murderer Dalal Mughrabi. Denmark followed, announcing it was cutting off all funding to the group. And last week, the Swiss parliament passed a resolution directing the government to amend Swiss law to block funding of NGOs “involved in racist, antisemitic or hate incitement actions.” For years, the Israeli government has been urging these and other European governments to stop funding such groups, to no avail. What explains their abrupt change of heart? In two words: Donald Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
