Australia is one of the best countries, when it comes to monitoring the flow of Government funds granted to NGOs for Palestinian projects, in trying to ensure that they do not end up in the wrong and even extremists’ hands, according to the founder and president of the Israeli NGO Monitor organisation Prof Gerald Steinberg. Progress re the creation of two renewed Jewish community, cultural and recreational centres were revealed in the past fortnight, with the publication of plans for the Jewish Arts Quarter in Elsternwick in Melbourne and the Hakoah Centre in White City in Sydney.
