The UK Charity Commission ordered the dissolution of an Arab charity group for spending the bulk of its multi-million pound income on antisemitic and terror-inciting videos, the Jewish Chronicle reported last week.
More than 90 percent of budget spent on antisemitic and terror-inciting videos.
The commission’s decision ended a two-year investigation of the Dubai-based Peace-TV one of the largest Muslim TV broadcasting networks in the world. The Charity Commission began probing Peace TV when Ofcom, Britain’s media regulator, fined Peace TV £300,000 for airing hate speech and incitement to murder in 2020.
The Peace TV and Peace TV Urdu channels offer programs in Arabic, Urdu, Albanian, Chinese, English and other languages.
Ofcom issued 10 rulings against Peace TV in between 2009-2019 for “violence and dangerous or seriously anti-social behaviour,” according to the JC.
