Funding Hate Education

Following policy reports by the TaxPayers' Alliance and the International Policy Network on the issue of wasted aid, CFI continues to campaign in Parliament on the issue of Hate Education in the Palestinian Territories.
 
A lack of willingness from the NGO community to acknowledge a problem with the path of aid has added to Government malaise on this issue. This is an issue the Taxpayers’ alliance first brought to light in the UK 18 months ago and despite acknowledging the problem little real change has been made by the Government.
 
CFI will continue to campaign with the TPA within the Conservative Party on this issue.

“I was disturbed to read the findings within the Taxpayers’ Alliance report, ‘Funding Hate’. It is imperative that future generations, wherever they are, are taught a message of reconciliation and mutual understanding. I have contacted both the Palestinian representative in London and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency to discuss the issues the Taxpayers Alliance has raised.” David Lidington MP, Shadow Foreign Office Minister, 16 January 2008
