Ford Foundation Still Funding Anti-Israel Groups

From Ford Foundation Still Funding Anti-Israel Groups:

Many of the anti-Israel activists at the UN anti-racism conference in Durban, South Africa, in 2001 were egged on by Ford Foundation-backed, pro-Palestinian groups. Hoping to head off a similar debacle, Ford says it will not pay for any organization to participate in the follow-up conference to Durban, slated for April in Geneva. Yet Ford today is funding several organizations that engage in the "Durban strategy" - to paint Israel as a "racist, apartheid" state and isolate the Jewish nation through boycotts, divestment and sanctions - according to a months-long JTA investigation.

A 2008-09 Ford grant for $305,000 went to the Arab NGO Network for Development, which features a map on its Web site that fails to note the existence of Israel.

Beneficiaries of Ford funds include the Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, Muwatin: Palestinian Institute for the Study of Democracy, The Palestinian Center for Human Rights, and Miftah: The Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy.

All these groups signed onto boycott and divestment petitions against "Apartheid Israel."

U.S. Taxpayers Fund Grants for "Palestinian Studies"

US taxpayers fund "palestinian" mythology and its fraudulent culture, which never existed prioer to 1964, in spite of the empirical evidence that the land that Israelis now inhabit was bought and paid for legally, and the legitimacy of Israel was voted imprimatur by the United Nations. From U.S. Taxpayers Fund Grants for "Palestinian Studies":

For more than a decade, the allocation of hundreds of thousands of dollars in U.S.-funded doctoral and post-doctoral grants on Palestinian issues has been decided by a group of Middle Eastern Studies professors that includes some of the most polarizing and radical figures in the field.

The Bethesda, Maryland-based Palestinian American Research Center (PARC) receives Title VI funding from the U.S. State Department and Department of Education for "Palestinian studies."

Under the aegis of the U.S. government, PARC then gives out grants of $3,000 to $8,000 for activism in the name of academia.
