NGOs fear Israel registration rules risk collapse of Gaza aid operations

1. Grounds for withholding registration include:
   >Supporting the prosecution of Israeli security forces in foreign or international courts

   That is to say, even if an organization takes no stand on the charges against Israel — war crimes, genocide — it must affirmatively oppose the process of adjudication of such charges under international law. That is, there is no law that can be applied if it adversely affects Israel.

   Save the Children is specifically cited as an organization that has failed to receive registration.

   The siege goes on.

2. Lets see how the BBC downplays this, not terrible i guess, though again parroting israeli officials with no pushback.

   ***”Save the Children said its application had not been approved*** *and it was “pursuing all available avenues to have this decision reconsidered”.*

   *Fourteen out of the approximately 100 applications have so far been rejected, 21 have been approved, and those remaining are still undergoing review, according to the ministry.*

   *The registration system introduced in March* [*includes several grounds for rejection, external*](https://www.gov.il/en/pages/interministerial_team_registration_humanitarian_organizations_foreign_employees)*, including:*

   * *Denying the existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state*
   * *Denying the Holocaust or the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023*
   * *Supporting an armed struggle against Israel by an enemy state or terrorist organisation*
   * *Promoting “delegitimisation campaigns” against Israel*
   * *Calling for a boycott of Israel or committing to participate in one*
   * *Supporting the prosecution of Israeli security forces in foreign or international courts*

   And the Israel trolls will tell you Israel does not control Gaza’s borders, lol

   “*A spokesman for the Israeli diaspora affairs ministry told the BBC that it had already extended the registration deadline from 9 September to 31 December “as an extraordinary measure and well beyond what was required”.””*

   AKA all deliberate, the Israeli’s are playing games as usual, so 35/100 applications have actually been processed, and that’s after an almost 4 month delay, MSF and Save the Children being big internationally recognised organisations.

3. This isn’t the first iteration of Israeli fascist rules against NGOs. They also proscribed MANY Israeli human rights orgs and even outlawed them entirely solely for working with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians, and other marginalized groups. You know like human rights groups should do. The Israeli reich is a thing and has been perhaps since its founding

5. The biggest open air prison in the world is still administered by their oppressors. The world, the UN, everybody has failed them. We needed to break through the fences, those walls, and free those people. That would have been the right thing to do. Israel should have no say on what goes on in the Gaza strip. The genociders, the oppressors, the brutes, the perpetrators, the belligerents, the jailers. No say whatsoever.

   How can you negotiate with evil? You can’t, especially with these feckless Israelis who want to try and preempt accountability. You can’t, you unethical freaks.
