The Jew, moreover, was holding a pitchfork dripping with blood. He also held two keys that bore the inscriptions “U.S.A.” and “U.K.,” respectively.

* Starting in July 2013, BADIL was a partner organization in an 18-month project headed by Dan Church Aid and funded by the European Union, to “protect, assist and advocate for the most vulnerable segments of the West Bank … populations affected by the Israeli occupation.”
