The German government in March funneled €5 million ($5.27 million) into a school project in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, even as a report by Israeli NGOs shows Palestinian teaching materials “glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”

The Simon Wiesenthal Center told JNS that the German transfer of funds to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinians Refugees (UNRWA)—the U.N. agency that oversees schools in Gaza—is disturbing because of the lack of linkage to an end of terrorism and lethal antisemitism.

According to the Israel Behind the News website, “Germany generously contributed over EUR 180 million [$189.5 million] to UNRWA operations in 2022.”

It is unclear whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will raise Berlin’s funding of UNRWA without the promised vetting procedures and its funding of anti-Israel NGOs such as al-Haq during his meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin on Thursday.

The German organizations Bread for the World, World Peace Service and the Green Party’s Heinrich Böll Foundation fund Ramallah-based Palestinian “human rights” NGO Al-Haq.

World Peace Service is a German government agency. The Israeli government classified Al-Haq as a terrorist organization due to its links to the E.U.- and U.S.-designated terrorist entity the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock of the Greens Party has declined to crack down on public funding of antisemitic boycotts of Israel. The Bundestag passed a resolution in May 2019 declaring the BDS campaign an antisemitic movement.

The German Foreign Ministry-funded German-Israel Association (DIG) made no mention of Berlin’s funding of anti-Israel NGOs in its Wednesday press release about Netanyahu’s visit to Berlin. Instead, the Green Party politician Volker Beck, who runs the DIG, blasted Israel for its judicial reforms, declaring that they “harm Israel’s security and prosperity.”

Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli and Knesset member Ariel Kallnerboth from the Likud, previously criticized the German Foreign Ministry, the German-Israel Association and Beck for their “anti-Zionist” activity, including boycotting conservative Zionist Israeli organizations.

  1. So 7 million Jewish men, women and in that figure 1 1/2 million Jewish Children were murdered in 42,500 places by the Germans and their Nazis.
    The murderers were allowed to go free, everything Jewish stolen and the ‘death camps’, the world’s largest Jewish cemeteries are in the hands of the Holocaust participants, so that crass commercialism, Vaticanization and trivialization of the Holocaust is taking place. We want those ‘death camps’ back to show proper respect and tell the truth of what really happened.
    Germany, putting money into Yad Vashem, also is controlling the narrative, so that the picture of the Mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler was removed.
    So, Germany’s Allianz, which insured the ‘death camps’, owes the Survivors $3 billion, while doing golf tournaments and not paying a dime to Survivors.
    So why wouldn’t Germany outsource their Jew Hatred to UNWRA to do its dirty work.
    The Jewish leadership has been a disaster and why today’s mess, based on yesterday’s horrors. Did we learn anything from 1933?
    Attacks on Jews are all over the world again. Israel is 5000 years old, not 75. There would be no 75, without the 5000.
    Israel is what G-d gave us and millions of Jews were murdered for and there is nothing to discuss with the very Arabs, aligned with Hitler to Kill all Jews, and want to finish the job.

    The Arabs are on Jewish land, not the reverse. UNWRA, paid off by the Arab/Muslim oil, to deny our historical roots is nothing new, nor Germany’s continuation of the Holocaust with the ‘Big Lies’
    In this religious war, Judaism is twice as old as Christianity and even older than Islam.
    Israel is G-d’s beloved treasure. There will never be peace, until the world recognizes G-d’s sovereignty, as well as Israel’s.

    Israel and USA should get out of the U.N., form their own new League of Nations and make sure that the Jewish Holy sights are not under Muslim control, nor that of Christian holy sights.

    Jews honor G-d and why we are still here in letting the world know it, no matter how many times they’ve come to destroy us.. We are coming into Passover, when G-d has freed the Jews from slavery in Egypt and gave the Jews, the Torah on Mt. Sinai, and The’10 Commandments”, which the world needs if it is to survive.

    The Jew and Israel haters, really hate themselves, attack G-d and will always be losers, killers, thieves and idolators. Their choice. We choose G-d, Torah and Blessings instead and for Eternity.
