The Swiss government will be terminating its support for three Palestinian-affiliated NGOs - the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO), and Al-Shabaka, according to a statement released by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs last week.

The FDFA’s decision comes on the heels of its suspension of the delivery of funds to eleven Palestinian NGOs in October following Hamas's brutal attacks of October 7 that left 1,200 people dead. That move was made pending “an in-depth analysis of the compliance of these organizations’ communications with the FDFA’s Code of Conduct and anti-discrimination clause, to which external partners are subject.”

The Jerusalem-based watchdog group NGO Monitor has published detailed claims of PCHR’s and PNGO’s links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group. The three NGOs posted statements following the Hamas attacks, "belittling, if not justifying" the atrocities, the watchdog said in a press release.

Switzerland will remain Switzerland even though they will be surrounded by the French, Italian, and German Caliphates.

I wanted to go work there when in my 20’s but it’s too difficult to get a work visa and for good reason.

Many cantons are very conservative and for a good reason. They gain admiration unusual for Western Europe.

The funding should be reallocated to the victims of Palestinian terrorism, especially those of the recent massacre.
