Pro-Palestine marches are being funded by a complex web of foreign donors, far-Left groups and state actors, a report by NGO Monitor has revealed. The Telegraph has the story.
The report by the US charity watchdog NGO Monitor found examples of Iranian and American far-Left groups bankrolling anti-Israel groups in the UK, creating an “ecosystem” of disruption.
It also found cryptocurrency was increasingly being used to hide funding sources for organisations accused of antisemitism, with gift aid also being used by these organisations.
The report’s authors also accuse organisations of deliberately targeting young people with anti-Israel material.Lord Walney, a former government extremism tsar, will release the report in the House of Commons later on Wednesday.
He will say: “A phenomenon widely portrayed as spontaneous and grassroots is, in significant part, the product of a coordinated and internationally financed network” and “a troubling number of the organisations within it either fall outside any meaningful regulatory framework or maintain connections to actors that no democratic state should tolerate”.
The report calls for a wholesale reform of Britain’s regulatory system to improve transparency over how the groups and charities behind pro-Palestine marches are funded.
The report looked at 40 of the organisations who have sponsored some of the main pro-Palestine demonstrations from the well-known Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Amnesty UK to less-known Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC). As the Telegraph has previously reported, the IHRC has links to Iran but in the space of five years collected £458,000 in public funds via
gift aid in the last six years.Several other groups, including Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders (MSF), receive hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money either through direct government funding or Gift Aid.
The report found that at least 11 of the 40 either have links to extremist organisations or have officials who have met extremist actors.

”The extensive protests that began on 7 October 2023 have had significant destabilising effects in the UK. They have exacerbated political and societal polarisation, leading to exponential increases in acts of incitement, discrimination and violence. Much of this hate has been directed at the UK’s Jewish community.
The protests have been widely portrayed in the media as grassroots and spontaneous. In reality, they are professionally organised and are part of a well-funded, coordinated global advocacy network.
This report presents a structured mapping of 40 major post-October 7th protests and mobilisation campaigns in the United Kingdom. The report details the organisations and individuals identified as recurring actors in coordination, advocacy, funding and related activity.”

The NGO complex is at the heart of the leftist rot in Britain. This is but one small iteration of it.
Yes, the rot goes deep but it does show that when a Labour peer is involved in exposing the rot then it must be a big, big problem. After all their stealth, Fabian methods are in part responsible for our present predicament. The systems set up by Blair/Brown are being used to create problems and it’s ironic that Lord Walney was an aide to Gordon Brown. Perhaps their creations are starting to consume their creators.
That’s all absolutely fine. But some unusual donations to the “wrong” politicians – that has to be dealt with severely or it will undermine the very roots of our democracy.
Just in case anyone had forgotten that we live in an authoritarian dictatorship run by a bureaucratic establishment.
