[cont'd] more on the subject:
According to an investigation by Investico in collaboration with BOOS, Nederlands Dagblad, and De Groene Amsterdammer, the Dutch foundation Israel Heartland has allegedly offered to use donor money to subsidize weapons for settlers in illegal settlements in the West Bank.
The investigation revealed:
The foundation, based in Reeuwijk and having ANBI status, was founded by Israeli lawyer Nati Rom
Rom stated in recorded conversations that donations could help settlers purchase weapons by subsidizing "half or three-quarters of the purchase amount"
The Dutch foundation transfers European donations to an Israeli foundation managed by Rom
Board chairman Arjen Domburg advised using neutral descriptions for bank transfers to avoid suspicion
Cash donations were reportedly collected at events by Christians for Israel (Christenen voor Israël)
Rom allegedly uses "food vouchers" to financially support settlers who are on European sanctions lists, which experts consider a violation of EU sanctions
Both Rom and Domburg later denied most of these claims when confronted
Christians for Israel has reportedly suspended support to Rom's foundation pending further investigation and denies that any cash from collections went to Rom.
