The program has been criticized by some because Shalom Hartman Institute receives funding from groups in the United States such as the Russell Berrie Foundation , which fund what some view as anti-Muslim activities. Critics of the program, such as Ali Abunimah, have described it as running counter to the objectives of the Boycott, Divest Sanctions (BDS) movement.
