In a recent NGO Monitor event in Jerusalem, renowned author, political commentator, and member of NGO Monitor’s International Advisory Board, Douglas Murray, highlighted how “an organized and well-funded lobby” of prominent NGOs continues to spread antisemitism and hate.

This moral failure is highlighted as we approach International Human Rights Day on December 10, which is meant to commemorate the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Composed in the shadow of the Holocaust, the UDHR was supposed to protect vulnerable people from discrimination and oppression. Today, powerful NGOs have weaponized its ideals and selectively apply its values, contributing to increased antisemitism. The abysmal state of human rights around the world highlights the abject failure of these organizations.

“All of these NGOs have gone rotten; [they] all have this sort of smoke screen facade of decency and placeness of morality,” Murray said. “And under that smoke screen, they can get away with doing absolutely evil things.”
