WELCOME!

Among the most exciting moments in this process of Redemption is watching the pieces come together. Anyone can do this. (You don't have to be a prophet!) Just by being an observer of the human scene,...current events, talk radio, internet news and daily experiences,--all this can be eye-opening about how the Rebbe's prophecy is being fulfilled.

Switzerland Stops Funds to Arab Center With Terrorist Ties

"Swiss foreign policy is not credible if it supports organizations that don’t recognize - and even boycott - the existence, the sovereignty, and the democracy of the State of Israel." Swiss MP Christian Imark

Switzerland follows Denmark, Norway and Holland in stopping funds to an Arab organization that has ties to a youth terror center. Given Swiss backing for anti-Israel terrorists, this is a significant first step toward admitting that "Palestinian" "humanitarian" organizations are just a cloak for murdering Jews and ending the Jewish state. Switzerland has yet to acknowledge that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorists. They have donated millions to entities sworn to the annihilation of Israel. The sum of money withheld here is a paltry $36,000. Still, its a beginning. The bill to withhold funds was introduced in the Swiss parliament by MP Christian Imark. In pressing the Swiss Lower Council to pass the bill, he said, "Swiss foreign policy is not credible if it supports organizations that don’t recognize - and even boycott - the existence, the sovereignty, and the democracy of the State of Israel."

SWITZERLAND STOPS FUNDS TO PALESTINIAN NGO DUE TO TERRORISM CONNECTION

BY BENJAMIN WEINTHAL AUGUST 22, 2017 14:11

The Human Rights International Humanitarian Law Secretariat failed to cut its ties to terrorist organizations.

The Swiss Foreign Ministry announced that it  suspended funds and support for the Ramallah-based Palestinian NGO Human Rights International Humanitarian Law Secretariat because the organization failed to cut ties to terrorism, according to a Sunday report in the Swiss newspaper Sonntags Zeitung.
 “This is an important first step in NGO funding accountability by the Swiss Foreign Ministry, and reflects the recent legislation on this issue,” Prof. Gerald Steinberg, the president of the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

“In halting payment to WATC [Women Affairs Technical Committee], the Swiss follow similar moves by Denmark and Holland. The radical Palestinian NGO is one of many funded by these countries through the Ramallah-based Human Rights Secretariat, with an annual budget of $4 million,” he added.

He asserted that “a number of the recipients are affiliated with the PFLP terror organization.

Having now frozen WATC funding, the question is whether the Swiss federal government will seriously reexamine participation in the very problematic secretariat mechanism, and in other frameworks that misuse tax money under the facade of human rights and peace.”

The Human Rights International Humanitarian Law Secretariat provides funds to the WATC, which named a youth center after a Palestinian terrorist.

Critics of the secretariat say it glorifies Palestinian terrorism.

The Palestinian NGO also receives funds from Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden.

The Swiss Foreign Ministry said its internal investigation showed that it did not directly funnel money to the WATC project. The payment of $36,000 for the Palestinian NGO was suspended and a definitive decision about a continued payment will be issued.

A date for the decision was not cited in the Swiss media reports. Switzerland, which has hosted Hamas officials over the years, is not a member of the EU and has declined to outlaw Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist entities.
