  • HaMoked's aims, as registered with Israel's Registrar of Non-profit Organizations, are to: "Provide assistance to persons who have fallen victim to acts of violence, abuse or deprivation of basic rights by governmental authorities (including local government), especially those needing assistance in conveying their complaints to these authorities, and also to protect basic rights ..." In contrast, Hamoked's website declares that its aim, is to "assist Palestinians whose rights are violated by the Israeli authorities or as a result of Israeli policy."

  • In reality, Hamoked's activities reflect a highly politicized anti-Israel agenda, including indifference to Israeli casualties and minimizes the context of terrorism in its distorted and unbalanced reports.
  • Works with other political NGOs including: Al-Haq, B'tselem, the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, Adalah, MachsomWatch, International Solidarity Movement, Palestinian Prisoner's Club, Law, Amnesty International, Physicians for Human Rights - Israel, and Human Rights Watch.
