NGOs Behind Anti-Israel Divestment Campaign
(NGO Monitor) The divestment campaign has become the latest political instrument of the drive designed to progressively delegitimize Israel in international frameworks based on the 2001 "Durban strategy." This campaign is being conducted by Protestant church groups, such as the World Council of Churches, the Presbyterians, the Anglican Church, and the United Church of Christ. Funding for the political NGOs spear-heading the anti-Israel divestment campaign comes from church groups in Europe and North America (including the Mennonite Central Committee and Christian Aid), government aid agencies (including Canada, Norway, Switzerland, and the EU), and foundations (such as the New Israel Fund and the Ford Foundation).
