On 14 December 2021 the 6 Palestinian civil society organizations targeted by the Israeli government alongside partners have today launched a new website www.PalCivilSociety.com<\/strong><\/a> as part of their #StandWithThe6 campaign. This follows Israel\u2019s escalation of its systemic efforts to shrink civic space, defund, criminalize human rights defenders (HRDs) and civil society.

In spite of international condemnation, Israel continues to maintain its unlawful designation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The website consolidates the efforts of the six Palestinian CSOs and partners, and provides resources for supporters outlining the full context of Israel\u2019s ongoing harassment campaigns to silence and diminish Palestinian civil society overall. The website will be a central space where supporters can mobilize in solidarity with civil society, starting by sending emails to US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy asking them to take decisive action to force Israel to reverse the unlawful designation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As jointly stated by the six organizations, \u201cthis designation is only the latest of a series of attacks against us and certainly won\u2019t be the last. This continued assault on Palestinian human rights defenders is also accompanied by systematic use of cybersurveillance technology to hack our phones and surveil us. It\u2019s clear that Israel\u2019s intention is to silence and harass Palestinian human rights defenders who criticize Israel\u2019s apartheid and settler-colonial regime and call for holding Israeli authorities accountable for their human rights violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Through this common digital space we invite all supporters of human rights and freedom around the world, to take action and show solidarity with Palestinian civil society.<\/em>\u201d [see also: https:\/\/humanrightsdefenders.blog\/2021\/11\/10\/palestinian-ngos-dubbed-terrorist-were-hacked-with-pegasus-spyware\/<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
