To All Concerned: The following represents NIFs response to the article authored by Shamai Lebowitz and published in the March 2005 on-line version of The Nation and the reaction to the article posted in the NGO Monitor on April 4, 2005...
With regards to Gerald Steinbergs commentary "The Unhelpful Hand" (editorial page, Jan. 10) it is necessary to point out that Mr. Steinberg and the NGO Monitor have long waged a campaign against those international development, relief and human rights organizations which seek to alleviate poverty and suffering in the Middle East...
NGO Monitor welcomes the elements in HRW's statement on "Concerns for the 61st Session of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights" (March 2005) that point to a change in your long-standing political agenda. In particular, we support the call on the UNCHR to halt the neglect of "abuses by Palestinian armed groups" (i.e., terrorists), to actively condemn "deliberate and indiscriminant [sic] attacks on civilians" and to...
Your letter in response to NGO Monitors report "ICAHD - EU funding for one-man NGO promoting extremist anti-Israeli agenda" hopefully marks the first step towards EU transparency with respect to NGO funding. While most of your letter repeated standard EU claims to be supporting peace efforts or discussed unrelated issues, such as Galileo satellites, the substantive response admitted EU funding for Mr. Halpers systematic denunciation of Israeli "apartheid". At the same time...
With relations between Christian Aid and supporters of Israel having come under a good deal of strain in recent times, the charitys director, Dr Daleep Mukarji, sets out his organisations position in relation to Israel and the Palestinians...
Christian Aid wholly agrees with Edie Friedman et al that one of the few "good things" to have come from the Asian tsunami was the bonding of humanity across the races and religions in a common bid to bring succour to the afflicted...
Yesterdays elections in the Palestinian territories closed the book on the Arafat era. The end of four decades of terror and corruption rightly generates great optimism about the Israeli-Palestinian relationship. Mahmoud Abbas, the new leader, can now move to end the chaos in Palestinian society and channel the massive aid flows away from off-shore bank accounts and illegal arms to economic development...
Thank you for your letter, which we have considered carefully, and whose core premise we cannot accept. You claim that the critiques of attacks on Israeli policy "also generates a real risk of anti-Semitism worldwide - by giving the impression that Israeli policy cannot be criticised or separated from the nature of being anti-Semitic - a very foolish and dangerous position to take up." Thus...
Your report claims that MCC is diverting the resources provided for humanitarian activities and abusing them for political incitement and demonization of Israel. There are two mistakes in this claim. First, the implication that MCC is diverting resources unbeknownst to our donors is mistaken. As your report notes, MCC is a relief, service, and peace agency of various Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches in the United States and Canada. MCC is transparent about ...
In your letter of 3 September 2004, responding to the NGO Monitor analysis of World Visions activities related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, you assert that "World Vision is in fact entirely different from this portrayal..."
