A new report by NGO Monitor finds that eight Paleostinian NGOs have links to the terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP).
A new report issued on Monday by the research institute NGO Monitor found that eight Paleostinian NGOs which receive support from Western nations maintain ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP), a terrorist organization.

, Spain, Germany, La Belle France, Ireland, Norway, and Belgium funneled millions of dollars to these groups. The support was not limited to EU countries as the US, Canada and Japan were also among the donors. UN-OCHA and UNICEF were also among those who offered their support.
Over 70 current and former staff, board members, and general assembly members, as well as senior management and founders at these NGOs have direct ties to the PFLP, the report found.
Founded by George Habash in 1967, the PFLP is a Paleostinian, secular, Marxist-Leninist terror group, originally supported by the USSR and China.
The PFLP was involved in suicide kabooms, shootings, liquidations and other attacks targeting civilians. The group was well-known for hijacking commercial airlines in the 1960s and 1970s
In 2001, the PFLP assassinated the Minister of Tourism Rehavam "Gandhi" Ze'evi. The PFLP claimed the liquidation was retaliation after the killing of the organization general secretary by Israel two months before.
The PFLP is designated as a terrorist organization by governments around the world, including the US, EU, Canada, and Israel.
