Professor Gerald M. Steinberg writes about UN-OCHA's propaganda war against Israel.
Since 2014, Adalah has expanded its activities to the United States through the "Adalah Justice Project." Through the Adalah Justice Project, Adalah has increased its involvement in BDS campaigns and legal warfare.
On May 18, 2018, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) held a “special session of the Human Rights Council on the deteriorating human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.” Many of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that participated in the session condemned Israel for allegedly committing “war crimes” and denied the legitimacy of Israel’s right to self-defense.
NGO Monitor has analyzed the NIF’s 2016 financial reports (latest available), detailing grants to a wide variety of Israeli NGOs.
A summary of the recent activities of NGOs that receive core funding from the Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat.
NGO Monitor research shows that the NGOs Adalah, Rabbis for Human Rights (RHR), and Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality (NCF) receive European government funding for projects that contribute to the exacerbating of tensions between the Bedouin community and the State of Israel.
The violent events in the unrecognized village of Umm Al-Hiran highlight the way in which NGOs intensify conflict between the Bedouin community and the State of Israel, all while being financially backed by European governments.
The recently published statement of the IDF Military Advocate General contradicts claims and conclusion of several NGOs and the UN Schabas/Davis Commission of Inquiry regarding specific incidents from the 2014 Gaza War.
Gerald Steinberg discusses Adalah's involvement in the promotion of BDS through a Movement for Black Lives document, and the NIF's problematic funding of these campaigns.
