Uriel,
I have no objection to being criticized, just as I expect NGOs and their funders, like NIF, to accept the legitimacy of criticism and the importance of informed public debate on these important issues. However, I do think that your blog item was unfair and inaccurate, and that you seem to be targeting [...]

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 [...]

In the EU’s “internal” report on East Jerusalem (which was leaked to ICAHD, and has been published online), right-wing Israeli groups are referred to as: “private settler organisations or affiliated extremist bodies, including Ateret Cohanim, Western Wall Heritage Fund, Temple Mount and El Ad.”
Why are these organizations condemned as “extremist,” while radical ICAHD is considered [...]

On March 7, an Associated Press story reported that the Israel Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) disseminated an internal EU document claiming Israel is “illegally annexing East Jerusalem”.
This article raises many troubling questions:
How did ICAHD get a copy of this report – an internal EU document? Who at the EU was aware of this document [...]

According to a December 16, 2007 Ha’aretz report, “an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, loads of time and countless attempts at intensive Spanish-brokered talks between Israelis and Palestinians went down the drain,” when a “peace gathering” scheduled to take place December 14-16 in [...]

Birthright Unplugged–partnered with a number of radical NGOs, some of which receive EU funding—advances an extreme anti-Israel narrative via its “alternative” tours. It is not affiliated with the Taglit-Birthright Israel group; in fact, Birthright Unplugged has hijacked Taglit-Birthright’s name in order to advance a radically different, anti-Israel agenda.

The Interfaith Peace Builders (IPB) and American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) sponsor regular delegations to “observe” the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The claimed purpose of these trips is to “foster[] a network of informed and active individuals who understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the United States’ political, military, and economic role in it.” However, as [...]
