[Excerpt:]

"The poll, commissioned by Jerusalem based watchdog, NGO Monitor and the Public Diplomacy Program at Bar-Ilan University’s Department of Political Science, and conducted by KEEVOON Research, showed that 51% of Israelis believe that NGOs favor the Palestinians while only 19% think they are equally concerned with Israelis and Palestinians; 64% of Israelis concluded that NGOs are by their nature biased against Israel, in light of the UN’s Durban Conference in 2001, according to the survey. NGO Monitor’s Executive Director and Chair of the Department of Political Studies at Bar-Ilan University, Prof Gerald Steinberg commented, ‘Human rights are clearly important to Israelis, but they also reject the ‘halo effect’ that hides the biases and other limitations in Amnesty, B’tselem, Machsom Watch and many more NGOs, and contribute to the demonization of Israel.’"
