Attorney Michael Sfard, a leading figure in the global lawfare movement who has served as legal counsel for a number of highly biased and politicized NGOs, will testify as an expert witness for the PLO before a New York federal court.
Dr. Mads Gilberts background of ideological extremism highlights his radical political and ideological agenda.
On August 18, 2014, the Russell Tribunal on Palestine (RToP) announced an Extraordinary session on Israels Crimes in Gaza during Operation Protective Edge.
Anne Herzberg claims that given William Schabass anti-Israel record, it is no surprise that he was selected to draft a report that will undoubtedly conclude that Israel is guilty.
NGO Monitor strongly condemns the appointment of William Schabas to head the new UN Gaza commission and calls on all UN member states to demand his immediate dismissal.
The EU and European governments must openly and honestly explain to the Israeli public and their own taxpayers what motivates funding to highly politicized NGOs.
The RToP is a complete mockery of due process, repeating the slander that Israel "subjects the Palestinian people to an institutionalised regime of domination amounting to apartheid as defined under international law." As Judge Richard Goldstone wrote in the New York Times, "In Israel, there is no apartheid."
The Russell Tribunal on Palestine uses a legal faade to create an image of neutrality and credibility. Yet, the Tribunals starting point is that Israels breach of international law was assumed on the basis of UN resolutions and a number of reports including the discredited Goldstone Report.
For a number of years, the campaign to demonize Israel has organized around the so-called Apartheid Week, an initiative that fuels the conflict but has largely been a failure. NGOs and NGO activists play leading roles in these events.
