The European Union has given financial support to several left-wing organizations in Israel. Maariv\'s Yoav Yitzchak revealed today that the EU\'s Support Committee approved 400,000 Euros (today equal to about $342,000) to a committee headed by MK Roman Bronfman for \"preventing left-leaning new Russian immigrants from swinging to the right.\" Another 250,000 Euros were designated for the Four Mothers movement, which was pushing at the time for a withdrawal from Lebanon; after the Israeli retreat, the movement disbanded before the money could reach it. Hundreds of thousands of Euros are scheduled to soon reach Peace Now, the Committee Against Razing [Illegal] Homes, and the far-left group Ir Shalem.
