The Jerusalem Post reports that the US State Department has offered a grant of up to $987,654 for projects that include reporting human rights violations by Israel, raising concern about the potential for abuse by organizations seeking boycotts, sanctions and international law tribunals against Israel. The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announced “an open competition for projects that strengthen accountability and human rights in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza” last month, thought to be the first of its kind from Washington.
The proposals are meant to “collect, archive and maintain human rights documentation to support justice and accountability and civil society-led advocacy efforts, which may include documentation of legal or security sector violations and housing, land and property rights.” The projects can also “take meaningful action in pursuing truth, accountability and memorialization; and/or provide psychosocial support to survivors of atrocities.”
Prof. Gerald Steinberg, director of NGO Monitor, which tracks funding for NGOs dealing with Israel-related issues, said he has never seen a US funding announcement of this kind.
The concern is that the project, like others, will be exploited for campaigns targeting Israel.

Thank you Joe Biden and Bob Casey for supporting rabid anti semites.
Break wind. The state department might break your head.
WE SHOULD OFFER A SIMILAR GRANT FOR EXPOSING HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS BY THE US.
You are 100% correct.
The Democrats definition of deep rooted alliance! Note, it’s our tax dollars that are being used.
They should start by report the mass murder of the death jabs and injuries from the PCR swabs.
