NGOs with stated human rights agendas, who are generally extremely vocal regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict, have avoided condemning the recent terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens, instead focusing only on the Israeli response to such attacks.
The report of the Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza War extensively quotes EU-funded political advocacy NGOs that lack credibility and do not employ professional fact-finding standards.
The EUs dependence on a very narrow group of political advocacy NGOs results in ill-informed and counter-productive policies, discredits EU policy making, and calls into question European officials interactions with radical NGOs.
Transparency regarding government funding for NGOs transcends partisan ideology, and is essential for ensuring the values of democracy and accountability.
The EUs unreserved reliance on NGO statements reflects its dysfunctional policy-making process towards Israel, which is characterized by major flaws in its assessment and understanding of Israeli society.
While some NGOs have condemned the recent series of attacks, others have either remained silent, blamed Israel, or have attempted to create an artificial balance and moral equivalence between terrorists and their victims.
