How does an unverified claim become an accepted fact?
An NGO makes a claim. The media reports it. International institutions repeat it. And suddenly, the original claim carries a new level of credibility, often without anyone questioning its source. It's a cycle that can help perpetuate misleading narratives about Israel, with institutions lending undue legitimacy to each other.
In the latest episode of In Conversation with Olga, @olga_deutsch sits down with @adamlevick of @CAMERA4truth to examine how NGO narratives influence mainstream media coverage of Israel.
NGO Monitor retweeted
.@Independent By whom is @alhaq_org respected?"
The media's stubborn refusal to critically scrutinise even the most radical NGOs is among the most egregious patterns of anti-Israel bias.
How about examining the government document explaining why they were proscribed as a PFLP front group?
“That was his response when I asked for an engagement with him about the issue of antisemitism and words that he was using that were offensive; ‘we've heard enough from you today.’”
NGO Monitor Legal Advisor @AnneHerzberg14 joined @IsraelConnexion and reflected on her interaction with Chris Sidoti, member of the UN Commission of Inquiry.

“They're going to be like, ‘Navi Pillay, Nobel Peace Prize winner, thinks it's genocide.’ So it's a way to cement her claims because people aren’t going to look into what she's saying.”
@AnneHerzberg14 NGO Monitor Legal Advisor spoke with @IsraelConnexion on the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay who chaired the UN Commission of Inquiry on Israel from 2021 to 2025 and accused Israel of genocide.

Ahead of Israel’s election, @amnesty once again presents a selective narrative instead of the full picture, highlighting Palestinians’ ineligibility to vote in 🇮🇱 while omitting that Abbas postponed Palestinian national elections AGAIN this month. >>
Amnesty repeats its de rigueur allegations of “genocide” and “apartheid” to demand an arms embargo, suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, and other restrictions, regardless of who wins on Tuesday. >>
Our new report documents 59 NGOs, including Amnesty, campaigning for trade restrictions through lobbying, litigation, and coordinated advocacy.

"While business and economic cooperation is a powerful tool to bring people together and improve standards of living, this U.N. exercise does precisely the opposite."
The UN claims its blacklist protects Palestinian rights, yet the companies it targets provide thousands of Palestinians with essential services and jobs and wages.

The U.N. cannot credibly preach peace while pursuing policies that fuel hatred, division, conflict and economic destruction between Israelis and Palestinians, writes @NGOmonitor's Anne Herzberg

NGO Monitor retweeted
"Of late, HRW's board of directors appears to have moved toward reclaiming some credibility ... However, one core staffer from the Roth era ... has carried on the rabid anti-Israel rhetoric."

“This constitute economic warfare against Israel” 🧵
Far from a response to Israeli policies, last month's announcement by 🇧🇪 🇨🇦 🇫🇷 🇮🇪 🇳🇱 🇳🇴 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 to significantly expand BDS measures against Israel is part of a decades long NGO campaign. >>
The campaign extends beyond goods produced beyond the 1949 armistice lines – to services, investment and broader economic ties with Israel. Denmark-funded Amnesty Denmark, for example, demands suspension of the EU’s trade agreement with Israel. >>
As NGO Monitor legal advisor @AnneHerzberg14 explains, “these countries paid activist NGOs for years to lobby against themselves and against Israel.”
