"HRW and Amnesty Promote Caterpillar Boycott"

Based on previous calls for a boycott of the US-based Caterpillar Inc. "human rights" NGOs have joined with a number of extreme political groups in a "Day of Action" scheduled for 13 April 2005. The program and pretexts for this activity continue the previous practice used by groups such as HRW and Amnesty, in which the context of terrorism against Israelis and the ongoing conflict has been entirely erased. The result is a distorted indictment of Israel, which again exploits the language of universal human rights to promote the "South Africa strategy" designed to brand Israel as an "apartheid state"...

"Christian Aids Continuing Obsession"

Christian Aids campaigning and obsession with attacking Israel is further evidence that the goals of its leadership are primarily political, and not charitable. In the 6 months beginning September 2004, CA has issued several reports, campaigns, press releases and expensive advertisements all presenting strong pro-Palestinian political positions...

Update: NIFs Ongoing Support for Radical NGOs

In 2003, the NGO Monitor examined the NGOs supported by the NIF, including funding for radical anti-Israel groups that were leaders of the demonization campaign at the Durban conference and elsewhere.

ICAHD - EU Funding for One-Man NGO Promoting Extremist Anti-Israel Agenda

The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions describes itself as "a non-violent, direct-action group originally established to oppose and resist Israeli demolition of Palestinian houses in the Occupied Territories." In reality, this is a well-funded blatantly political and ideological one-man NGO, which couches its radical anti-Israel agenda and demonization in the rhetoric of human rights. ICAHDs "coordinator", Jeff Halper, routinely uses terms such as "apartheid" and "war crimes" to refer to Israeli policy against Palestinian terror, supports a "one state solution", and advocates sanctions and boycotts. Criticism of Israeli responses to terror, including house destruction, is a minor theme in this agenda. Initially but no longer supported by the Ford Foundation and the New Israel Fund, the main funding has come from the European Union. Updated details are not available, as neither the EU nor ICAHD practice transparency.

"Update: Rabbis For Human Rights"

NGO Monitor briefly examined the activities of Rabbis for Human Rights in May 2003 noting that it was moving its emphasis from a pro-Palestinian agenda to a broader human rights focus. NGO Monitor now analyzes developments since then...

"Christian Aid Uses Charity Funds for Anti-Israel Political Advertisements"

On 15 February 2005, the front page of The Guardian featured a prominent advertisement from Christian Aid.
