Taken from UNHRC webcast:
MRAP (France):
“Despite the dozens of resolutions adopted by various UN bodies condemning the actions of the state of Israel, colonial occupation follows the destruction, massacres follow the abuses, and the international law is constantly trampled.”
FIDH, PCHR (Raji Sourani) (Norway, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, European Union):
“The smell of death and destruction [...]

The Arab League’s “Fact Finding” Mission to Gaza presented a report of its findings and called for future lawfare against Israel.

Over the years, NGO Monitor has seen NGOs do some pretty crazy stuff with their EU and European government money (promoting slogans like, “We are all Hezbollah, we are all Hamas”; organizing campaigns “to expose the lies of AIPAC and the Anti-Defamation League and to expose the Jewish and Zionist community’s double standards”; and parroting [...]

Yesterday, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) put out a statement in honor of International Women’s Day. Predictably, the statement solely blames Israel for the suffering of women in Gaza and calls on the international community to hold Israel “accountable”.

Following the pattern in previous conflicts, a number of NGOs immediately issued condemnations of Israel following the IDF response to increasing deadly rocket attacks from Gaza. Many of these statements reflect bias and double standards, which ignore or give little attention to Israeli human rights and casualties, and do not mention Hamas’ use of human [...]
