UNESCO condemns Palestinian Nonprofit group that published blood libel.


UNESCO condemns Palestinian Nonprofit group that published blood libel.(FreeBeacon).The United Nations has condemned a Palestinian nonprofit that recently accused Jewish people of using “Christian blood” during the Passover seder.
Miftah, a Palestinian nonprofit that has received funding from many Western governments and foundations, came under fire for publishing an article accusing “the Jews [of using] the blood of Christians in the Jewish Passover.”
Miftah apologized Monday after U.S. Jewish groups and others expressed outrage over the blood libel.
The U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which has partnered with Miftah on various projects, rebuked the group Tuesday.
UNESCO condemns all forms of hate literature, including anti-Semitic articles such as the one Miftah published and later apologized for,” UNESCO spokesman Roni Ameland told the Free Beacon over email.

UNESCO does not fund Miftah nor does it have any formal relations with it,” Ameland said. “UNESCO did support several gender-focused workshops and activities organized by Miftah in the past but its collaboration with the organization ended in 2011.”
UNESCO did not fund Miftah directly, Ameland said. “It just paid for specific contracts concerning specific projects.”
Funding to Miftah has been provided by the governments of Italy, Ireland, and Norway, as well as by handful of Western nonprofits, including the Ford Foundation, according to NGO Monitor, a watchdog group.Hmmmm.......Quite an amazing feat for the Elder of Zion, job well done!Read the full story here.
