Zionist-oriented foundations fund violent Israeli settlers and Islamophobic warriors alike
Evidence
Two of these foundations (Becker and Berrie) are explicitly committed to promoting what they see as the interests of the Jewish community (specifically Zionism), and a third, the Fairbrook Foundation, is even more extreme in its Zionist orientation. Run by Aubrey and Joyce Chernick, it “has provided funding to groups ranging from the ADL and CAMERA, a right-wing, pro-Israel, media-watchdog outfit, to violent Israeli settlers living on Palestinian lands and figures like the pseudo-academic author Robert Spencer,” according to Max Blumenthal’s investigative journalism. — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 550
