“They're going to be like, ‘Navi Pillay, Nobel Peace Prize winner, thinks it's genocide.’ So it's a way to cement her claims because people aren’t going to look into what she's saying.”
@AnneHerzberg14 NGO Monitor Legal Advisor spoke with @IsraelConnexion on the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay who chaired the UN Commission of Inquiry on Israel from 2021 to 2025 and accused Israel of genocide.

Ahead of Israel’s election, @amnesty once again presents a selective narrative instead of the full picture, highlighting Palestinians’ ineligibility to vote in 🇮🇱 while omitting that Abbas postponed Palestinian national elections AGAIN this month. >>
Amnesty repeats its de rigueur allegations of “genocide” and “apartheid” to demand an arms embargo, suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, and other restrictions, regardless of who wins on Tuesday. >>
Our new report documents 59 NGOs, including Amnesty, campaigning for trade restrictions through lobbying, litigation, and coordinated advocacy.

"While business and economic cooperation is a powerful tool to bring people together and improve standards of living, this U.N. exercise does precisely the opposite."
The UN claims its blacklist protects Palestinian rights, yet the companies it targets provide thousands of Palestinians with essential services and jobs and wages.

The U.N. cannot credibly preach peace while pursuing policies that fuel hatred, division, conflict and economic destruction between Israelis and Palestinians, writes @NGOmonitor's Anne Herzberg

NGO Monitor retweeted
"Of late, HRW's board of directors appears to have moved toward reclaiming some credibility ... However, one core staffer from the Roth era ... has carried on the rabid anti-Israel rhetoric."

“This constitute economic warfare against Israel” 🧵
Far from a response to Israeli policies, last month's announcement by 🇧🇪 🇨🇦 🇫🇷 🇮🇪 🇳🇱 🇳🇴 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 to significantly expand BDS measures against Israel is part of a decades long NGO campaign. >>
The campaign extends beyond goods produced beyond the 1949 armistice lines – to services, investment and broader economic ties with Israel. Denmark-funded Amnesty Denmark, for example, demands suspension of the EU’s trade agreement with Israel. >>
As NGO Monitor legal advisor @AnneHerzberg14 explains, “these countries paid activist NGOs for years to lobby against themselves and against Israel.”

"Evidence points to a small network of activists, more than to a transparent + formally structured org," explains Naftali Shavelson, int'l spokesperson for @NGOmonitor."
I spoke to leading Spanish paper @elmundoes's @ferranbarber re Samidoun, an NGO tied to the PFLP terror group
1/3. Por tercer año consecutivo, la sección española de una organización palestina prohibida en Alemania, incluida por Canadá en su lista de organizaciones terroristas y sancionada por EEUU por sus vínculos con el también terrorista FPLP volvió a celebrar públicamente en Madrid la masacre del 7-O.
Esta vez, Samidoun lo hizo en un centro pastoral católico de Entrevías, con un dirigente de Hamás condenado a nueve cadenas perpetuas por atentados que mataron a nueve personas. Allí elogió el «Diluvio de al-Aqsa», el eufemismo tras el que Hamás parapeta la carnicería de los kibutzim del Néguev occidental, el festival Nova y otras localidades próximas a Gaza, donde fueron asesinadas unas 1.200 personas y secuestradas otras 251.
Por tercer año consecutivo, también, @ACOM_es trató de frenar judicialmente estas celebraciones y volvió a querellarse por presunto enaltecimiento del terrorismo.
El asunto acabó saltando a la primera línea política cuando @IdiazAyuso afirmó que en Sol estaba «la gente» incluida por EEUU y Canadá en sus listas de organizaciones terroristas y exigió al Gobierno aclarar si un grupo con «antecedentes terroristas propalestinos» gestionaba la acampada.
Lo contamos hoy, en la versión impresa de Crónica de @elmundoes
German development funds supported MIFTAH, a Palestinian NGO whose founder dismissed reports of Hamas massacres and rape on October 7 as “nonsense.”
On @welt, NGO Monitor VP @olga_deutsch explains why Germany's NGO funding decisions have consequences for Jewish communities at home. 🧵>>
„Diejenigen, die unter Antisemitismus leiden, sind die Mitglieder der jüdischen Gemeinde in Berlin“ to.welt.de/9aCOvqS
German development aid also supports political advocacy, not just humanitarian services. @olga_deutsch argues that some Palestinian NGOs receiving such support have links to the PFLP and other designated terrorist organizations, making scrutiny of funding recipients essential. >>
