On Monday, February 3, NGO Monitor published an analysis of the Israel and Palestinian chapter in Human Rights Watch’s 2008 World Report.
On Thursday, February 7, we had a letter in the Wall Street Journal discussing the need for vigilance by NGOs, many of whom, like the media, were recently taken in by a Hamas run propaganda campaign regarding Gaza’s power supply. The letter argues that a universal stands previously presented in the paper should apply not just to journalists but to NGOs as well.
