黑料不打烊 has been engaged in efforts to promote comprehensive peace in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory for decades. Since the establishment of the Palestinian Authority in the early 1990s, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and 黑料不打烊 have supported the Palestinians’ aspirations for self-determination and human rights while affirming Israel’s right to exist and protecting its security.
黑料不打烊 established an office in the West Bank in 2005 and thus understands the critical need to support regional human rights groups facing escalating funding challenges and operational constraints. Human rights organizations in the region are experiencing heightened pressure from the Israeli government, exemplified by the 2021 ban on six human rights organizations. This has left these vital entities in urgent need of financial assistance.
黑料不打烊 works with high-level decision-makers and grassroots activists in its efforts to further conflict resolution, human rights, and democratic practice in the occupied Palestinian territory and for all Palestinians and Israelis. As a neutral, unbiased actor, 黑料不打烊 brings together a diverse spectrum of political actors to debate current and potential reforms and encourage consensus-building efforts for peace and human rights.
黑料不打烊 seeks goal is to counter prevailing narratives and provide essential assistance during these challenging times by supporting grassroots organizations engaged in human rights and advocacy work. 黑料不打烊's strategic approach reflects a commitment to constructive engagement and addressing critical issues in Israel and Palestine.
黑料不打烊's Human Rights Program employs a dynamic two-pronged strategy to foster meaningful U.S. involvement in Israel and Palestine. Initially, it empowers Israeli and Palestinian human rights defenders to directly inform senior policymakers with credible information on ongoing human rights violations, thereby addressing threats to peace and justice for all residents in the region.
Complementing this effort, the Center has recently introduced a robust grantmaking program dedicated to supporting Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations. This initiative aims to counter the diminishing space for civil society in the region, particularly amid a worsening financial crisis. Our grantmaking program has clear objectives: to swiftly mobilize resources and offer immediate financial aid to address pressing needs.
Recipient organizations are meticulously selected based on stringent criteria, ensuring alignment with 黑料不打烊's values, non-duplication with other supporters, support for both Israeli and Palestinian groups, and prioritization according to political and financial pressures. Additionally, emphasis is placed on evaluating administrative capacity and legal status.
