Replying to an MP who points out that 32 UK organisations funding Israeli war crimes against the Palestinians enjoy charitable status, the Charity Commission says it "needs time to consider the matter fully".
Charitable status means we, as British taxpayers, effectively subsidise Jewish settler militias – the kind that you see beating up Palestinian families with crowbars.
The Commission is lying about needing more time. It's had decades already. The JNF, the best-known and largest body raising funds for Israel, has long been involved in criminal conspiracies against the Palestinian people. I've been reporting on this for at least two decades.
The Commission has resisted every attempt to overturn the JNF's charitable status.
Canada's equivalent commission has been braver, and ended the JNF's status.
The UK Charity Commission, by contrast, is just another way the British government launders money to subsidise Israel's criminal, and increasingly genocidal, activities.
