Anne Herzberg calls upon the UN and EU to commit to their claims of neutrality, and stop financing and promoting the whitewashing of Palestinian violence.
Many highly politicized NGOs that are funded by the IHL Scretariat (composed of Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands) have issued problematic statements regarding the recent wave of terror, which ignore attacks against civilians and Israel's right to self-defense.
Professor Gerald Steinberg and Gilad Segal call upon the European Union and European governments to cease their funding of Palestinian human rights organizations engaged in the incitement, justification, and glorification of terror attacks against Israelis.
In response to the recent wave of terror, government officials, repeating claims made by highly politicized NGOs, have accused Israel of using "excessive force" when responding to attacks against Israeli civilians, criminalizing Israels right to defend itself.
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights, an organization funded by many European governments, distorts the reality of the recent wave of terror, claiming that the attackers are innocent, and denies Israelis of their human rights to life and safety.
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 2014 Annual Report of the IHL Secretariat brings to light the fundamental problems with its funding mechanism, including support for political warfare against Israel and very limited focus on alleged violations by Palestinians.
Naftali Balanson illustrates that by appropriating the CSI brand, Amnesty has unwittingly provided insight into the fundamental problems with its Gaza Platform, as well as the flawed NGO narrative about the 2014 Gaza war.
