Organizations that actively collaborate with Palestinian terrorists are scheduled to speak at an anti-Israel UN forum.
Organizations that partner with Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) will participate in a “United Nations Forum to Mark Fifty Years of Occupation” on Thursday and Friday at UN headquarters in New York.
According to intelligence information, the organization Al Haq, whose representative will address the forum, collaborates with the PFLP. Al Haq is a leader in anti-Israel lawfare and BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaigns.
The Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, another group to be represented at the conference, collaborates regularly with the Hamas terrorist organization. The Center consistently refers to the Israel Defense Forces {IDF) as the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF), delegitimizes Israeli self-defense and ignores Palestinian terror, including Hamas’ use of human shields and illegal rocket attacks against Israeli civilians. It consistently describes Israel’s policies as “apartheid,” accuses Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and “war crimes,” promotes the “Nakba” narrative – “Nakba” is Arabic for “Catastrophe” and mourns the founding of the State of Israel – and refers to Israeli security measures as “collective punishment.”
“The UN is colluding with supporters of terror seeking to harm Israel,” Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon charged.
“It is beyond comprehension that UN funds are supporting organizations which aid terrorists and incite against Israel,” Danon said, calling on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to intervene immediately and “prevent these individuals from appearing at the UN.”
Hamas and the PFLP are both internationally recognized terrorist organizations responsible for thousands of Israeli deaths.
Earlier this month, the PFLP and Hamas claimed responsibility for the murder of Israeli policewoman Hadas Malka in a terror attack in Jerusalem.
