    ICCO funding controversy

    NGO Monitor accused Dutch development organization ICCO of improperly supporting The Electronic Intifada and raised allegations concerning antisemitism and boycott advocacy. ICCO rejected the characterization and defended the publication’s relevance to documenting human-rights and humanitarian-law issues. The dispute led to intervention and public warnings from Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal, while other civil-society and academic voices criticized the pressure placed on ICCO.
