New Israel Fund cuts off BDS leader

Now, NGO Monitor's research has been confirmed by an unlikely source - CWP. In an open letter to NIF (March [Should be May. CiJ] 23, 2011), CWP wrote, "we have been informed of the NIF decision to stop acting as fiscal sponsor for the Coalition of Women for Peace...the last donation via NIF entered our bank account on May 16, 2011." This directly contradicts NIF claims that funding for CWP ended in 2008 (or 2009, according to other NIF officials).Heh.
While NIF should apologize for its behavior, NGO Monitor welcomes the end of funding for CWP, and urges NIF to end its relationship with other NGOs engaged in delegitimization. This will help counteract NIF's previous support, which provided a "seal of approval" that allowed CWP and others to obtain funding from European governments. Furthermore, we are prepared to meet with NIF officials to share our research in a manner that helps NIF meet its funding guidelines and principles.
