Part of the propaganda war between Israel and the Palestinians, NGO Monitor is an Israeli report on the activities of non-governmental organizations operating in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. It is run from the Institute of Contemporary Affairs and its president is former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dore Gold, also a former advisor to various Israeli prime ministers.
NGO Monitor describes its aim as "end[ing] the practice used by certain self-declared 'humanitarian NGOs' of exploiting the label 'universal human rights values' to promote politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas."
NGO Monitor has criticised several international human rights organisations, including Christian Aid for its alleged "extensive involvement in anti-Israel propaganda campaigns" [1] and Human Rights Watch whose reports it found to be "systematically and exceedingly biased" [2]. It has also accused the Ford Foundation for funding NGOs, such as the Palestinian human rights organization Al Mezan Center, allegedly involved in "blatantly political anti-Israel activities". [3]
