In
March 2013, I revealed that Miftah, a Palestinian NGO, founded and headed by Hanan Ashrawi had published an Arabic article that said that Jews use the blood of Christian children for Passover matzah. After the issue was publicized Miftah took it down and
eventually apologized in English after
defending it and attacking me for publicizing it.
Of course, the blood libel is not the only problem at Miftah. I documented that they
supported terror attacks and they are explicitly
against peaceful coexistence with Israel.
Miftah is also one of the signers of the original
2005 Call for BDS.
At the time, Miftah enjoyed monetary support from Oxfam, NED, Norway, Austria, the Anna Lindh Foundation and others.
But since I exposed their hate and
lies, they have gained another funder.
The US Consulate.
The very year that Miftah was in the newspapers for pushing the blood libel is when the US decided to give them $175,000, paying that
sum over
two years.
This was noted in a recent report about BDS from the Congressional Research Service (I could not find it online):
US taxpayers are funding a hate organization.
This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 11 years and over 22,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
