Combating EU Funding of Islamist Organizations
Will Roth, CEO of the Israel Europe Freedom Center, and Lev Solodkin, the center's Israel relations manager, talk to VOI's Josh Hasten about their efforts to educate European citizens about how their tax dollars (euros) are possibly being used to help anti-Israel organizations abroad.
They say they are assisting with new legislation being introduced at the Austrian Parliament aiming to ban foreign funding for Islamist organizations. According to the bill, money needed for the Austrian population is being diverted to foreign anti-Israel causes.
Then, HontestReporting's Yarden Frankl joins Josh in-studio to discuss this week's media coverage of Israel. Topics include: syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer's article about "media poodles" who bemoan the victory of Prime Minister Netanyahu, because they are convinced that his reelection marks the death of the peace process; a Market Watch column making the assertion that Israel launches military attacks during major sporting and other newsworthy events, so that fewer people will take notice; anti-Semitism in Australia; and another United Nations attack on Israel.
