1/ Article by @LahavHarkov @Jerusalem_Post: PCHR - one of the NGOs leading international legal attacks against 🇮🇱 - openly expressed support for “armed struggle” against Israel.
❗️In 2023 the org received funding from the European Union and Switzerland.

2/ Immediately following the recent #Israel-#Gaza conflict the Gaza-based PCHR publicly declared its affirmation of the "right of the Palestinian people to resist the occupation by all available means, including armed struggle." This NGO is funded by the 🇪🇺, 🇨🇭, 🇳🇴, and 🇮🇪.
3/ To be clear, each and every rocket fired from Gaza at #Israel is a war crime. It is unconscionable that a so-called human rights group would suggest thousands of war crimes are legitimate "resistance".
4/ PCHR is one of the NGOs targeting Israeli officials, especially at the #ICC. The org brags that it “invests all its resources” in anti-Israel legal campaigns. These “resources” are millions in funding from European governments.
5/ The Swiss gov’t - a longstanding supporter of PCHR - approved a $380,000 grant for the org between 2021-2024. The org is in breach of their obligation to “refrain from incitement to violence or hatred" - per the copy of contract we obtained.
6/ In April 2022, the EU granted PCHR 475,000 euros. Notably, the @Europarl_EN just passed a resolution urging the @EU_Commission to halt funding for orgs engaging in incitement to terrorism, hate speech, religious extremism, or support for violence.
7/ From 2019-2021, PCHR received 81,000 euros from Ireland and $680,000 from Norway. It remains unclear whether these grants have been renewed or continued.
8/ If calls for “armed struggle” and the Hague campaign aren't enough to question the NGO's European funding, a few years ago we presented concrete evidence of ties btwn 5 PCHR officials and the PFLP terror group (whose members were active in the latest Gaza conflict, btw).
9/ It is absurd that an NGO that calls for violence against Jews, endorses terrorism, and legally persecutes Israelis is funded by Israel’s "allies". We've reached out to the donor governments, demanding a review of their financial backing for PCHR.
