This is a very good move and I hope it goes well but will result them screaming blue murder though. But I don't see why British tax payer should be subsidising illegal occupations and other criminal acts in Palestine.

[TD="class: artDetailContent"]LONDON, (PIC)-- The Arab organization for human rights in the UK said there are serious moves by the British charity commission to remove the Jewish national fund from its list of registered charities.
In a press release on Monday, the Arab organization stressed that it is unreasonable in light of the many facts in hand proving its involvement in "crimes against humanity" to keep the Jewish national fund, which is registered by the British charity commission as the JNF charitable trust under number 225910, recognized as a charitable society.
The human rights organization affirmed that the Jewish national fund is the financial wing of the Zionist movement since its inception in 1901.
It added that since the British mandate, this Jewish fund has been actively seizing Palestinian lands and real estate and persisted in its Judaization and settlement activities after the emergence of Israel in 1948.
The organization underlined that over the past 20 years, this fund used the illegal Israeli custodian of absentee property law to transfer Palestinian real estate in east Jerusalem to Jewish settlers' ownership and embarked on seizing dozens of dunums of land and homes in Silwan district in cooperation with Elad settlement society and Himnuta organization.
In the 80s and 90s, the Jewish national fund managed to displace hundreds of Palestinians in Silwan district after seizing their homes, according to the Arab organization for human rights.
"In the Negev, the national fund with the help of different Israeli ministries is pushing towards the expulsion of the Bedouin population from their villages at the pretext of plans to afforest the areas and establish natural woods. This scheme is aimed at displacing 30,000 Palestinian residents of the Negev," the organization asserted.[/TD]
