“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. >>

[NGO Monitor @NGOmonitor]

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. >>

"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

"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."

As NGO Monitor legal advisor @AnneHerzberg14 explains, “these countries paid activist NGOs for years to lobby against themselves and against Israel.”

“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. >>

[NGO Monitor @NGOmonitor]

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. >>

[NGO Monitor @NGOmonitor]

The Green Party’s “Zionism is racism” resolution echoes a much broader anti-Israel strategy crystallized at the 2001 Durban NGO Forum, where 1,500 NGOs cast Israel as racist, apartheid and genocidal. They proceeded to call for boycotts, sanctions and international isolation.

"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

Germany must apply the same standards on antisemitism to its foreign aid policies as it does domestically, including stricter vetting of NGO partners, ongoing monitoring of funded projects, and meaningful consequences for violations of funding conditions.

[NGO Monitor @NGOmonitor]

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“ https://t.co/VoAsrSBjeM

[NGO Monitor @NGOmonitor]

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. >>
