• Christian Aid: Report Uses Humanitarian Aims to Promote Political Bias
  Summary: Christian Aid claims to be a charitable and humanitarian organization, but the main focus of its activities on Arab-Israeli issues is political.

• HRW'S Report on Gaza: Lacking Credibility and Reflecting a Political Agenda
  Summary: HRW's condemnation of IDF efforts to end lethal missile smuggling into Gaza cites Palestinian "eye-witnesses", journalists, and a few "experts", in the service of the goal of delegitimizing Israeli security policy.
