Bereaved families protested outside the King David Hotel in Jerusalem Sunday during a cabinet meeting that was attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The protest was organized by the Im Tirztu right-wing watchdog group and other organizations that work with bereaved families. Demonstrators claimed that over the past last decade alone, Germany has transferred 84 million shekels ($26 million) to propaganda organizations that are hostile to Israel and provide legal assistance to Palestinian terrorists.

According to data collected by the watchdog, the German government had directly and indirectly funded about 34 propaganda organizations that have extreme left-wing views, including an organization that promotes refusal by Israeli youngsters to get drafted into the IDF.

In a letter to Merkel, heads of Im Tirztu and other forums wrote, "As you must know, the German government transfers directly (via the German Foreign Ministry) and indirectly (through government foundations) hundreds of thousands, sometimes even millions, of euros each year to Israeli political organizations affiliated with the extreme Left."

It stressed that German funds were used to fund organizations that support the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, which work to encourage international pressure on Israel, attempt to change its immigration policy and even try to change Israel's policy of war on terror "through legal proceedings and international pressure."

"The government funding that Germany transfers to political organizations in Israel is a despicable and anti-democratic political subversion. It is a waste of the German taxpayer's money," the letter said .
