The money went to the Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC). This proves yet again what we have long contended here: that any aid to jihad terror-supporting entities is ill-advised (to put it mildly), because money given for humanitarian reasons just frees up funds to be used for jihad activity.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is a Marxist group, but shares the jihadi outlook, goals and tactics.
“Netherlands admits to paying terrorists who killed 17-year-old Israeli,” by Lahav Harkov, Jerusalem Post, July 21, 2020:
The Netherlands paid part of the salaries of two terrorists involved in killing 17-year-old Rina Shnerb last year, Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok and Development Minister Sigrid Kaag admitted to parliament on Tuesday.
The killers are members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terrorist group in the EU, and employees of the Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), to which the Dutch representative in Ramallah pledged nearly $20 million in 2013-2021.
Their salaries were paid in part by Dutch funds covering UAWC overhead costs, though they were not directly involved in the land and water management program sponsored by the Netherlands. They also received accreditation, identifying themselves as “employees of a partner organization of the Dutch representation,” in Ramallah a letter from the ministers said.
The Netherlands is suspending its donations to UAWC indefinitely, pending an investigation….

This Popular Front is less of a leftist and more of Jihadist Organisation. The Popular Front of India (PFI) is instrumental in conspiracy for those hijacks going by the name of Anti-CAA protests in Indian metro cities and later hatched the conspiracy to kill Hindus in communal riot through their hooligans under leadership of Tahir Hussain. Now the investigations show the funding and donation they were getting from overseas players to fund the entire conspiracy including daily payment to poor Muslims who were used as protesters to prevent the government of India from taking coercive action against these poor muslim ladies used by PFI as a ploy. But now their leaders are nabbed, the agitation also subsided as all the masterminds are either behind bar or underground. But the bane of India is appeasement policy for garnering Muslim votes to defeat BJP. In Maharashtra the anti Modi local government has hired them as NGO to do public service in Covid19 affected area. Imagine the damage they would be doing to the society in the process by radicalising the innocent , illiterate people.

The only way to be sure you aren’t subsidising these sorts of crimes is to give nothing, ever, to anything that smells faintly Muslim. Oh wait……muruna you say?……Well I guess you can’t ever be entirely certain, can you? Well, good catch this time Hollanders.
OTTER says
The world seems to turn to butter when dealing with Islam. Why?
kami-sama says
I have a very plausible theory that this world is actually created by evil beings for their evil creatures thus the wide spread of islam & their enablers (leftests) which consists of the majority of our world

Merri-joy says
It would be wonderful if the parents & family of the young Israeli woman murdered by Jihadi’s, SUED the Government of Netherlands, for their role in paying Islamic Organizations and for not doing all it could to protect the life of the victim and Israeli’s in the Netherlands!

Mox nix. The Arabs will just set up a different do-good front organization that you Dutch can fund, to launder your Euros for their terrorists. The only way to end this farce is to completely cut the Arabs off financially.
Westman says
And what has been the response of The Netherland’s government to Geert Wilder’s warnings about Islam? Prosecution.
Like Pope Francis, they are discovering that kissing up to Islam is unwise. How many betrayals will it take before The Netherland’s leaders realize that Islam is both political and an army?
OLD GUY says
All countries and charity organizations should stop funding terrorist through their donations to muslim countries. The USA Needs to stop the foreign aid to muslim countries and the UN who funds many of the islamic countries with aid.
