HRW “sockpuppets” and Akiva Eldar vs. NGO Monitor: Connecting the dots
On February 23, 2010, Akiva Eldar, a reporter for Haaretz, emailed NGO Monitor with a number of “questions” allegedly related to compliance with Israel’s Amuta (non-profit) laws. The questions appeared to be part of a fishing expedition designed to find some mud in order [...]

My article on the fictitious narrative that is used by many NGOs to demonize Israel did not endorse the “Nakba Law”. (‘Taking Back [...]

Prof. Michael Pinto-Duschinsky published an article in the 21 March edition of the Jewish Chronicle (UK) agreeing with NGO Monitor’s analysis on the political biases and false claims of leading “charities”, and “human rights groups”, including Amnesty International, Christian Aid and Oxfam.
