Just a few days ago, Joseph Borrellthe high representative for EU foreign policy, had underlined that it is necessary to do “a distinction between Hamas, the Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority”, also ensuring that community funds will continue to be allocated for the Palestinian population. And he is not the only authoritative political figure to think this way. But will it really be like this? Statements in hand, it seems that the reality is very different from that described by the Spaniard. As reported The newspapermany resources arrive through projects managed by non-governmental organizations, whose representatives have been ideologically contiguous to groups considered terrorist by the United States and the EU. “Glory to the martyrs and thanks to their souls”, we read in a post on Facebook Of Sumoud Sa’adatdocumentation manager of the NGO Addameer.

After the attack by Hamas last October 7, in the statements of members of some of the NGOs financed by the EU and Italy there is no trace of distancing, nor of requests for peace. The comments, in fact, are strongly anti-Israeli. Although many social media posts were promptly deleted, Ngo Monitor, the database that maps funding to Palestinian NGOs, was able to trace its contents. There Palestinian Ngo networkfor example, released this statement on October 8: “In the last two days an aggressive war of Occupying state to take revenge and expand i massacres against the Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian people have been facing, for more than 75 years, a racist and fascist occupation. They are resisting with all valor and sacrifice. The world must wake up by boycotting Israel and imposing sanctions on it.”

The list of anti-Israel statements also includes those of Palestine Medical Relief Society (financed by France, the EU, Sweden, and Italy in cooperation projects with the Palestinian NGO network for three million euros). Last October 7, the day of the massacre, the president of the NGO stated to the microphones that Al Jazeera: “Israel is not omnipotent and it also shows what the Palestinians can do when they are determined to resist for their freedom“.

Al-Haqanother NGO included by Tel Aviv in the list of organizations with alleged links to terrorist groups and hosted in Montecitorio on 21 December 2021 together with Addameerlast October 10 declared: “The best jihad is prepare for warand it is better to prepare for the war in Ashkelon”. Between 2018-2021 Al Haq received 296 thousand euros from the EU. And over 1.8 million in projects financed by the Italian Agency for Cooperation.
