Zochrot är en liten radikal judisk antisionistisk organisation som i praktiken arbetar för att Israel skall upphöra att existera som judarnas hemland. Målet skall förverkligas genom att alla palestinska flyktingar (och deras ättlingar) skall få rätt att flytta till Israel. Israel beskrivs av Zochrot som en kolonial makt.
Organisationen har ingen lokal förankring eller understöd att tala om men kristna organisationer tycks anse att den är värd ekonomisk understöd.
Under 2014 och första kvartalet av 2015 fick Zochrot 740,000 dollar i understöd från utlandet, 93% kom från kristna organisationer.
Enligt NGO Monitor gav Kyrkans utlandshjälp under år 2013 185,905 NIS och under första kvartalet 2014 94,840 NIS till Zochrot (sammanlagt ca 65 000 euro) av pengar som Kyrkans utlandshjälp samlat in av medborgarna i Finland.
Här mer information om Zochrot.
Med den information som jag från förr har om Kyrkans utlandshjälp är det inte förvånande att den också understöder Zochrots verksamhet. Men orätt, fel och skamligt är det!
"... Using church funds, Zochrot promotes a “de-Zionized Palestine,” meaning
free of Jews. The group’s founder, Eitan Bronstein, advocates for Jews
to abandon Israel en masse. He dreams of a time “when the refugees
return, Jews will become a minority in the country… There may be Jews,
most of them of European origin, who won’t be able to adjust to a
non-Zionist reality, and prefer to use their other passport to move
elsewhere.”
Last month, together with Palestinian NGO BADIL, Zochrot embarked on a speaking tour across the U.S. to promote the “historical overview of the Nakba and the Right of Return.” Several years ago, BADIL awarded a prize to a blatantly antisemitic cartoon, featuring a grotesque caricature of a Jewish man standing over a dead Arab child and holding a pitchfork in the shape of a menorah dripping with blood. BADIL’s anti-Semitic history apparently does not concern Zochrot or its funders.
Last year, Zochrot commemorated Israel Independence Day by launching a smartphone app called “iNakba” to delegitimize the Jewish state. The app, an interactive map and photos of Palestinian Arab villages from pre-1948, was featured by The New York Times, proving the real influence of a small fringe group armed with millions of shekels of foreign funds. A year before, in 2013, Zochrot hosted a costly Tel Aviv conference titled “From Truth to Redress: Realizing the Return of Palestinian Refugees.”
These activities would ordinarily be out of reach for a group its size. But, due to the largesse of nine European Christian aid agencies, Zochrot does not lack resources. Foreign funding for 2014 and first quarter of 2015 totals NIS 2,892,665 (about $740,000). Of that, some NIS 2,726,917—about 93 percent—comes from the Christian charities..."
