Following exposure of NIFs central role in funding BDS activities of the Coalition of Women for Peace (CWP), the New Israel Fund (NIF) on May 12 issued a statement falsely claiming that NGO Monitor knowingly published false information.
CWP is a leader in the boycotts, divestments, and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, primarily through its Who Profits project. Campaigns include the UC Berkeley divestment effort (2010), the Norwegian Governments Pension Fund which led to divestment from Elbit, and targeting of banks, security companies, civil infrastructure facilities, and private firms.
In recent years, the British government has ended funding for a number of Israeli political advocacy NGOs, but it still supports Breaking the Silence, BTselem, and others. UK funding also goes to pro-BDS groups.
A Huffington Post op-ed by HRWs Middle East director blatantly exploits the US Civil Rights Movement to vilify and demonize Israel, and advance anti-Israel BDS.
In response to Judge Richard Goldstones landmark article in the Washington Post, in which he retracted the main allegations of the "Goldstone Report," watchdog group NGO Monitor calls on the NGOs that were his main sources to withdraw and revise their discredited claims.
