<p>October 23, 2021 - <a href="https://qudsnen.co/?p=30663">https://qudsnen.co/?p=30663</a></p><p>Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Shortly after the occupation state
designated six Palestinian human rights organizations as terrorist
“organizations”, international rights groups rejected the decision and
called for reversing it. </p>
<p>The occupation state claimed that the organizations are linked to the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a left-wing
movement with a political party and member on the resistance’s joint
chamber. </p>
<p>The designated groups include Al-Haq, a human rights group founded in
1979, the Addameer rights group, Defence for Children
International-Palestine, the Bisan Center for Research and Development,
the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees and the Union of
Agricultural Work Committees.</p>
<p>The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med) condemned
Israel’s announcement, considering it as another link in the chain of
undermining the right to civil and human rights work in the Palestinian
territories.</p>
<p>The Geneva-based rights organization said in a statement that the
classification aims to prevent the documentation of Israeli violations
and support their victims amid an absence of international response to
that.</p>
<p>Jewish Voice for Peace criticized the decision and described it as an attack on all Palestinian rights. </p>
<blockquote class="gmail-twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">This is outrageous. Palestinian human rights
groups have – for decades – stood strong in the face of continued
attacks by the Israeli government and military. This latest accusation
by the Israeli government on key human rights orgs is an attack on all
Palestinian rights. <a href="https://t.co/5vhKkUgSbI">https://t.co/5vhKkUgSbI</a></p>

<p>B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, said the Israeli
decision “is an act characteristic of totalitarian regimes, with the
clear purpose of shutting down these organizations.”</p>

<p>In the same vein, Breaking the Silence said the decision is “a well-known tactic of authoritarian regimes who fear criticism.”</p>
<p>“How many times have we heard, “where are the Palestinian human rights organizations?” Well, here they are”, it added. </p>

<p>US human rights watchdog ‘Center for Constitutional Rights’ also
condemned the Israeli decision, describing it as “a continuation of a
long-standing project by the Israeli government and its supporters to
isolate Palestinian civil society advocates and criminalize the
promotion of Palestinian rights.”</p>
