"A Jerusalem-based research organization, NGO Monitor, hailed the document on Thursday as a welcome change in the way the Israeli government counters "bias." The group said the brief was a document containing "evidence central to examining the facade of research methodology in more than 500 NGO statements during and after the recent Gaza conflict." NGO monitor noted that Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch claimed to have no evidence of Hamas’ alleged use of "human shields" in Gaza. "In contrast, the report quotes Hamas operatives who acknowledged rocket fire from schools and describe incidents in which Hamas activists requested children to wheel carts laden with rockets, in case IDF forces noticed them," the group wrote."
