Right-wing NGO exposes extent of Israel's support of West Bank settlements

[bemildred]

An interesting document has recently found its way to several right-wing members of Knesset. Produced by the rightist NGO Mattot Arim, the survey rates MKs and cabinet ministers according to the aid they provided to the settlement movement and to the "national camp" as a whole.

The report encourages and compliments those who garnered especially high scores, with survey authors saying the report was a tool to reward those "elected officials who truly represent their public."

Published every six months, for the fourth year running the Mattot Arim report breaks down the legislative, lobbying, and media activity of the MKs – from bills preventing the boycott of products made in the settlements, to media interviews.

In addition, ministers are lauded for harnessing their ministries for pro-settlement development, such as improving the internet and cellular networks in the West Bank.
