Another forgotten news item occurred a year earlier, in 2021, when the Israeli government, offering as evidence only \u201csecret information,\u201d summarily designated six Palestinian NGOs illegal \u201cterrorist organizations,\u201d claiming they were linked financially to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP]. These NGOs \u2013 Al-Haq, Addameer, Bisan Center for Research and Development, Defense for Children International\u2013Palestine, Union of Agricultural Workers Committees, and Union of Palestinian Women\u2019s Committees \u2013 exist solely to defend the human rights of indigenous Palestinian children, women, prisoners, and farmers. Israel\u2019s calling them terrorist seems tantamount to the United States calling the ACLU dangerous and illegal \u2026 which, according to Sahar Francis, could someday happen. \t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"woocommerce\">\n<div class=\"woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message\">\n\t\t\t\tTo read this article, log in <a class=\"always-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/my-account\/\">here<\/a> or subscribe <a class=\"always-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/subscribe\/\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\n<br \/>If you are logged in but can't read CP+ articles, check the status of your access <a class=\"always-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/my-account\/members-area\/\">here<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>In order to read CP+ articles, your web browser must be set to accept cookies.\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/2023\/01\/15\/on-being-called-terrorist\/\">More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/2023\/01\/15\/on-being-called-terrorist\/\">On Being Called \u201cTerrorist\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/\">CounterPunch.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">This post was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/2023\/01\/15\/on-being-called-terrorist\/\">CounterPunch.org<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major media story last month, Israel\u2019s deportation of Palestinian attorney Salah Hamouri from East Jerusalem to France \u2013 though widely recognized as a war crime \u2013 is now old news.
