In July 2010, Salil Shetty became the Secretary General of Amnesty International. His appointment follows a major decline in Amnesty's moral reputation and influence. NGO Monitor wrote to Shetty, asking him about the Gita Sahgal incident, Amnesty's bias in the Arab-Israeli conflict, the calls for an arms embargo against Israel, and the blog post of Amnesty-Finland's executive director referring to Israel as a "scum state."

The NGO Front in the Gaza War: BTselem
Since December 27, 2008, BTselem has issued over 35 press releases and "testimonies" about the Gaza war, most of which cannot be independently verified. No testimonies of Israeli victims of Hamas attacks were published. BTselem participated in a press conference accusing Israel of "grave violations of international humanitarian law," "wanton use of lethal force," and "disproportionate harm to civilians." BTselem also makes claims about the military relevance of targets which it is not qualified to assess. BTselems statements largely erase Hamas use of human shields and its indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
