About Not On Our Dime!
Right now, New York taxpayers are subsidizing Israeli settler violence. While Israeli settlements may feel far away, many of the settlers who are attacking Palestinians and stealing their land are using funding from certain tax-exempt organizations here in New York State. These organizations masquerade as “charities” while funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to forcibly evict families, bulldoze schools, destroy roads, and push more Palestinians off their land. Because the organizations are tax-exempt, this movement of money is functionally subsidized by New York State – even though Israeli settlement expansion violates the Geneva convention. The Not On Our Dime! bill aims to end New York’s subsidization of Israeli settler violence by prohibiting NY-based non-profits from funding settlement expansion.
