Adalah and the Impact of Legal-based NGOs in the Arab-Israeli Conflict

Certain highly political NGOs dedicated to legal human rights have been exploiting the ambiguities in international law in a continuous output of publications and legal opinions. One of the most active of the legal-based NGOs in the Arab-Israeli conflict is Adalah (Justice in Arabic), an Arab-run NGO based in Israel and heavily supported by the New Israel Fund.

Christian Aids Political Campaign Continues: "Peace Under Siege"

Despite Christian Aids commitment to non-partisanship, its recent film claiming to depict the roots of Palestinian poverty is the latest in a series of highly ideological public statements that attack Israel. The film presents a highly inaccurate and slanted narrative that undermines the impact of the humanitarian projects Christian Aid funds for the Palestinian population.

Ford-NIF New Partnership

The Ford Foundation has announced a $20 million peace and social justice fund in partnership with the New Israel Fund. Both organizations are already major players in the Middle East. NIF has awarded more than $120 million to 700 Israeli Jewish and Arab groups and Ford donates some $13m annually. Both have come under heavy criticism for funding highly political NGOs whose anti-Israeli agendas contradict their mission statements.

The New Israel Fund is particularly active funding certain NGOs in the Arab Sector in Israel.

A professional and independent review of the counter-productive agendas supported by NIF would redress this basic failure and restore credibility to the organization.

HRWs Political Condemnation of Israels Separation Barrier

Human Rights Watchs statement calling on the U.S. government to penalize Israel for constructing the separation barrier is the latest in a series of highly unbalanced, incomplete and politically motivated attacks on Israeli policy in the name of human rights. Most of HRWs statement is again based on claims made by Palestinian political organizations with only token reference to the legitimate security concerns and impact of terror on this Israeli policy.

Latest Amnesty Report Grossly Unbalanced

Summary: A survey of the major human rights NGOs shows the majority have ignored the latest wave of suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. Amnesty was an exception and issued a short condemnation of the first bombing. However, this was swiftly followed by a much larger and grossly unbalanced attack on Israel and total silence on two subsequent large-scale bombings.
