Is State Dept Report Fueling Persecution Against Settlers? Is NIF funding Youth Against Settlements? Just curious.

What do you think?  Seems pretty interconnected.  Shabbat Shalom Umevorach!

[Edwin Black in] Financing the Flames establishes how often "peace groups" act in such bad faith ways, engaging in pointless confrontations and promoting boycotts that only hurt the people they claim to want to help while appearing utterly disinterested in working toward peace.

The culture of activism that has grown around the conflict has made things worse, Black suggests. This isn't a new phenomenon. Western NGOs routinely make things worse when they egotistically and blindly interfere in foreign countries, but their actions in Israel are often uniquely malicious.

Some of the most shocking material in Financing the Flames includes the New Israel's Fund involvement in child endangerment as children are dispatched to harass Israeli soldiers. Paying children to throw rocks at soldiers was a common journalistic tactic back in the Intifada 80s and produced plenty of dramatic photos and videos, but there is something disturbing about a non-profit that is being heavily supported by American tax-exempt contributions helping finance this sort of behavior.

.....Price Tag Attacks:

 

"Price tag" attacks (property crimes and violent acts by extremist Jewish individuals and groups in retaliation for activity they deemed to be anti-settlement) expanded into Israel from the West Bank in 2013. The Israeli government formed a new unit of the national police designated specifically to investigate these crimes in both Israel and the West Bank and in June the Security Cabinet authorized the Ministry of Defense to classify groups that perpetrated "price tag" attacks as "illegal associations," which allowed security authorities greater leeway in collecting information on and seizing the property of groups, and of their members, that perpetrated "price tag" attacks. Incidents included:

 

• In July, gravestones in a Christian Orthodox cemetery in Jaffa were vandalized with the words "revenge" and "price tag." Price tag graffiti was also found on a residential building near the cemetery.
• In August, the Beit Jamal Monastery near Jerusalem was firebombed and spray-painted with the words "death to the Gentiles" and other slogans.
