When the Israeli Minister of Defense (@gantzbe) declared that 6 Palestinian NGO's were actually an integral part of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, an internationally designated terror org. some were surprised.

I was not! Here's why:

While some of Israel's detractors tried to use a document written in May as a way to undermine the designations, the reality cannot be ignored:

The PFLP manipulatively used Palestinian self-declared "human rights organizations" as a front for fund raising for terrorist activity.

We of @palwatch pointed to the connections of some of the 6 designated organizations to the PFLP.

For example when we reported that @DCIPalestine refused to agree to a EU funding clause that prohibited funneling money to terror. palwatch.org/page/18285

The PFLP connection of the 6 terror tentacles was also clear when the senior members of the NGO's appeared on the list of the PFLP towards the (eventually cancelled) Palestinian Authority elections.

On top of our work, came the comprehensive work of @NGOmonitor.

Had the international donors taken heed of the warning signs that @GeraldNGOM provided, the life of young Rina Shnerb, murdered by PFLP terrorists integrally connected to the NGO's, might have been saved.

If anyone tells you that ALL the info. 🇮🇱 has linking the 6 designated terror groups to the PFLP was included in the May document, don't believe them. On top the info. included was a huge amount of intel, some of which I've seen, that I am certain did not appear in that document.

And here's an interesting development.

One of the 6 organization recently designated by @gantzbe was actually designated as a terror org. in Judea & Samaria many months ago by he @IDF OC Central Command.

Invoking its legal right, the organization appealed the designation. >>>

After their appeal was rejected, the organization petitioned Israel's Supreme Court (HCJ 6010/21) & there was meant to be hearing on Nov. 29.

Prior to the hearing, the org. got cold feet & withdrew its petition.

A legitimate org. would not have withdrawn its petition!

My thanks to Barry Shaw, @martinsherman2 & the @IsraelIiss for the opportunity to explain and present the truth.
