| Subject: Israhell's conservatives attack New Israel Fund... again and again and again... Sun Feb 07, 2010 8:01 pm | |
| Nationalist groups accuse the New Israel Fund of seeking to undermine Israel, alleging that rights groups it has sponsored provided most of the testimony to a U.N. panel on the Gaza war.
Leaders of the Washington-based New Israel Fund, whose recipients include several organizations that promote Palestinian rights, said Sunday that they are being unfairly targeted by conservatives in Israel seeking to silence opposing viewpoints.
"It's an attempt to stifle dissent," said Daniel Sokatch, chief executive of the fund, which donates about $15 million annually to human rights and civil society groups in Israel.
