A Shurat HaDin investigation indicates that even as Oxfam was attacking Scarlett Johansson and Israel for violating international law, the organization was itself violating both international law and the laws of many sovereign nations. Specifically, Oxfam’s involvement with two Palestinian NGOs — the Union of Health Workers Committees (UHWC) and the Union of Agricultural Workers Committees (UAWC) — violates numerous laws against giving material and financial aid to terrorist organizations.
Both the UHWC and the UAWC are well-known for their close connections to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), one of the oldest and most violent terrorist organizations in the world. The PFLP is guilty of subsidiary organizations and numerous suicide bombings, airplane hijackings, and assassinations; including some of the most notorious terror attacks of the 1970s. Our investigation has revealed that the UHWC and UAWC are not merely close to the PFLP but branches of the PFLP, founded, staffed, and operated by this designated terrorist group.
...The evidence against UHWC and UAWC leads inexorably to the conclusion that the groups are essentially subsidiary organizations of the PFLP. In effect, the UAHC is the PFLP’s health organization and UAWC is the PLFP’s agricultural organization. They share leadership, funding, assets, and political goals with their parent organization; and appear to be, in turn, largely controlled by it. As a result, by providing financial and material aid to the UAHC and UAWC, Oxfam directly or indirectly makes these assets available to the PFLP.
It is a crime under international law, as well as US, UK, Israeli, and EU law, to provide material and financial Palestinian support to terrorist groups, including ostensibly benign branches of terrorist groups. It is our conclusion that Oxfam is currently in direct international violation of these laws, and is liable for both criminal and civil penalties as a result.The report documents recent terror attacks by the PFLP, including the Itamar massacre of the Fogel family.
