The group known as Oxfam made news earlier this year when it criticized Hollywood actress Scarlet Johansson for doing a Super Bowl ad for Soda Stream, an Israeli company. To her credit, Johansson didn’t back down. In fact, she resigned as an ambassador for Oxfam.
Johansson: Decision to leave Oxfam looking better than before.
The decision to do so is looking a lot more righteous.
The aid group Oxfam International is said to be partnering with two Palestinian organizations tied to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), according to an Israeli advocacy group that defends victims of terrorism.
Several of Oxfam’s global affiliates are said to be providing financial aid and “additional forms of material support” to two Palestinian workers groups that are deeply tied to the PFLP, a U.S. designated terror organization, according to the Israel Law Center.
The Israel Law Center demanded in a letter sent Thursday that Oxfam end its relationships with these two groups—the Union of Health Workers Committees (UHWC) and the Union of Agricultural Workers Committees (UAWC)—or face possible legal action.
Oxfam, a group known for its harsh criticism of Israel, has been in the news in recent weeks for encouraging boycotts of Jewish state and criticizing actress Scarlett Johansson for her support of Israeli company SodaStream.
