EXCLUSIVE: The Foreign Office has given £227,988 to B’Tselem

BRITISH AID was paid to left-wing activists in the Middle East accused of helping death squads torture and kill Palestinians, The Sun can reveal. The Foreign Office were under fire last night after giving £227,988 of taxpayers’ cash to the B’Tselem group – who are accused by the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of sending “innocents” to “torture and execution”.

An activist from the “human rights group” was exposed for helping the Palestinian Authority’s secret police detain, beat up and even kill Palestinians caught selling land to Israeli Jews.

But last night the British government came under attack for funding the group who are at the centre of a political storm in Israel following an TV exposé of their activities. Secret footage of B’Tselem employee Nasser Nawaja and another activist Ezra Nawi was broadcast last week by Israel’s Uvda programme. In the explosive film, Nawi boasted he would send “pictures and phone numbers” of Palestinians who sold land to Israelis “to the Palestinian security services,” who “catch these guys and they kill them”. Chillingly, he added: “But before it kills them, they get beat up a lot.”

...B’Tselem said they are opposed to “any torture or execution” however argued grassing Palestinian land sellers was the “only legitimate course of action”. B’Tselem’s financial records show that since 2010, they have been in receipt of more £227,988 in British aid. The controversial cash came from the Global Conflict Prevention Pool, which is jointly managed by the Foreign Office, the Department for International Development and the Ministry of Defence. Grants were given for “supporting video projects”, but last night the Foreign Office insisted they had stopped in 2013. Parliamentary records show the funding dating back as far as 2006. The group has also received more than £300,000 from the European Union in the last three years.

2. The US does this daily.

Why should the Brits be any different?

4. Death squads? Really?

We don't even know if Ezra Nawi has caused anyone to be punished by the PA, let alone executed. It's also very unlikely that Ezra Nawi did what he did in collusion with B'Tselem.

The Sun isn't exactly a pillar of journalistic integrity, and this article is a clear example what happens when truth is just an option.


The sad thing is that people actually buy the Sun for its articles, not only for what's on page three.

5. B'tselem defended Ezra Nawi & his colleague, a B'tselem employee who helped get Palestinians hurt

Basically, B'tselem's defense is that Palestinians need to be turned in for being traitors, that no murders have been sanctioned by the PA and that all this is just an attack on the Left.

Yellow Journalism WRT to Israel/Palestine is the kind that covers up for UNRWA terror incitement against Jews. The kind that portrays the Holocaust terror inciting Abbas as moderate, pro-peace....that finds no fault with the Gilad Atzmons of the world who believe burning down synagogues is a rational act. The kind that reports Jewish victims of knife attacks in Israel as Nazis for defending themselves...with the terrorist perpetrators portrayed as helpless victims of apartheid, nazi policy.
