The NGOs that Wrote the House Bill on Palestinian Children's Rights
(NGO Monitor) On Nov. 14, U.S. Congresswoman Betty McCollum (D-MN) and nine others proposed legislation "to prevent United States tax dollars from supporting the Israeli military's ongoing detention and mistreatment of Palestinian children." The initiative reflects extensive lobbying by prominent pro-BDS NGOs. McCollum's draft legislation is based entirely on the false reports from many of these same NGOs, most prominently Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCI-P). DCI-P has alleged links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). DCI-P board members Shawan Jabarin, Nassar Ibrahim, and Dr. Majed Nassar all have alleged affiliations with PFLP, which is proscribed as a terror organization by the U.S. and the EU.
