Controversies and legal
Controversy
CWP was one of several non-profits whose funding by the New Israel Fund caused controversy because of CWP's support for some aspects of the BDS - boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel.
The funding by the NIF caused a row in Australia where the NIF was opening a new branch. It was at this time, in May 2011, that the NIF decided to abruptly halt all funding to CWP, despite statements to the contrary. CWP posted on its website scathing letters to the NIF, saying "It seems particularly unfortunate that the exact timing of cutting off the relations of NIF and CWP has been dictated by NGO Monitor." and "The public attitude of NIF in relation to CWP is a rather disgraceful example of following and accepting the right-wing discourse and its strategies."
