"Sharansky on Amnesty and Human Rights Watch"
Natan Sharansky, The Jerusalem Post
February 14, 2007
"Human rights groups, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which are heavily nourished by Jewish values, passion and funding, must stop squeezing both sides of the genocidal pincer.
These groups must be challenged, on the one hand, to press for enforcement of the Genocide Treaty, to stand up for human rights in Iran, and to oppose and expose Iranian support for terrorism. On the other, they must stop perverting the sacred cause of human rights into a cudgel in Iran´s hands against Israel. This happened just months ago when, during the Lebanon war, such groups all but ignored Hizbullah´s terrorism from behind human shields and called Israel´s self-defense a "war crime." "
"Not with my money"
Lori Lowenthal Marcus, The Jerusalem Post
February 14, 2007
"The New Israel Fund is a non-profit organization which focuses on eliminating any special role for religion in either Israeli society or government. NIF grants reflect that orientation. One of the largest grants the NIF gave in the latest year for which information is available was to an organization it co-founded: the Mossawa Center. An NIF document states that organization's belief that efforts should be expended to prevent efforts to "judaize the Galilee and Negev." In other words, there is no part of Israel the NIF thinks should be, or remain, officially "judaized." More than 33 percent of NIF grants go to programs that exclusively serve Arab Israelis, and fully 40 percent of Shatil, NIF's "empowerment center" money is used for assistance to Israel's Arab minority. Those programs actively promote the erasure of any special status for Jews in Israel. ....the Jewish Agency is in the NIF highest-donor category, the one for those giving more than $100,000. The Joint shows up in the donor category of $25,000 to $50,000, as do the Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the Jewish Women's Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago."
"Human Rights and Wrongs"
Ari Rabkin, The Cornell Daily Sun
February 08, 2007
"What are the greatest human rights concerns in the world today? If you listen to the international human rights movement, and their college-campus allies, such as Amnesty International and the National Lawyer's Guild, you would think that the death penalty in the United States, Israel's efforts to defeat Palestinian terrorists and the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay constituted the worst of the world's atrocities. This set of priorities displays a curious blindness towards true human rights abuses and an unfortunate political bias. All too often, the human rights lobby sets its goals based on its own political desires rather than on the needs of victims."
"Human Rights Watch: Troubling Report"
Avi Bell, The New York Sun
January 03, 2007
As Hezbollah rained rockets on Israeli cities this summer while hiding behind Lebanese human shields, Human Rights Watch carried on a parallel political war against the Jewish state. Human Rights Watch released only one substantive report on crimes committed during the war, and that report was aimed squarely at Israel...
"There couldn't be a more perfect time"
Gerald M. Steinberg, The Jerusalem Post
December 10, 2006
Today, December 10, marks International Human Rights Day, and the presence in Israel of Irene Khan, head of Amnesty International, highlights the demise of once-lofty goals. Amnesty International is a superpower with an annual budget of almost $200 million, used to promote radical political agendas and photo-ops for its leaders...
"Les ONG et le déclin des principes fondamentaux des Droits de l´Homme"
NGO Monitor
December 10, 2006
A l’occasion de la Journée Internationale des Droits de l´Homme et en l´honneur du Haut-Commissaire aux Droits de l´Homme présent en Israël, NGO Monitor souhaite accorder la priorité à la garantie du respect des Droits de l´Homme dans le traitement du conflit arabo-israélien. Nous entendons ainsi mettre en évidence les failles de différentes ONG - prétendument défenderesses des droits de l´homme - en rappelant les principes régissant le bon fonctionnement des ONG et en réaffirmant les valeurs fondamentales consacrées dans la Déclaration universelle des Droits de l´Homme...
"Human Rights NGOs Drop the Ball on Human Shields"
Alex Margolin, Opednews.com
December 05, 2006
A mere two days after Israel called off a military strike on Gaza to avoid harming Palestinians human shields protecting wanted terrorists, Amnesty International published a report accusing Israel of targeting civilians indiscriminately...
December 10th: Human Rights Day and NGO Action
Rene Wadlow
December 04, 2006
The United Nations "spells - and it ought to spell - the end of the system of unilateral action, exclusive alliances, and spheres of influence, and the balances of power and all the other expedients which have been tried for centuries and have always failed" said President Roosevelt after the Crimean Conference where plans for the UN were laid. Yet today most of the expedients that Roosevelt said had always failed are back in full force. We see this clearly in the field of human rights.
Human Rights Watch & Israel: An Exchange
Seymour Feshbach, Aryeh Neier, The New York Review of Books
December 02, 2006
"The ever-predictable UN Human Rights Council"
Hillel Neuer, The Jerusalem Post
November 28, 2006
When the UN Human Rights Council on Friday hears from its commission of inquiry on "the systematic targeting and killings of civilians by Israel in Lebanon," - the commission's report is now on-line - there will be no surprises...
