NGO "Lawfare": New monograph from NGO Monitor
On October 7, 2008, NGO Monitor held a press conference to introduce the research monograph entitled "NGO Lawfare: The Exploitation of Courts in the Arab-Israeli Conflict." This publication is a detailed analysis of the role of NGOs in the abuse of European and US courts for political "lawfare" the use of legal methods to achieve military goals. In parallel to their other political campaigns, these groups have initiated criminal and civil cases against Israeli officials using false claims of "war crimes."

Letter to Tony Blair, re: NGOs publication of The Middle East Quartet A Progress Report
[Excerpt:] For many years, these NGOs have waged a one-sided campaign against Israel, and this has continued in the publication entitled The Middle East Quartet A Progress Report, issued September 25, 2008 by Oxfam, Christian Aid, CARE, World Vision, and other highly politicized groups. As in previous NGO statements, this publication consists exclusively of allegations against Israel, while ignoring Palestinian terror and the difficult decisions Israel must take to provide legitimate self-defense to its population. The report contains numerous false, misleading, and unsubstantiated claims, and manipulates international and humanitarian law to attack Israel.
