anti semitic Is someone who blows the whistle on Yehuda Hiss and Israel's illeagal harvesting of organs anti semitic. The civilized non violent way to oppose a brutal occupation is to boycott
3. Anti-Israel propaganda
Amram ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.21.13)
Those individuals and organizations that spread lies about Israel should be challenged in court to prove their allegations. People the world over find it easy to use words like "illegal", "occupied", "apartheid" and as we let them, they even themselves believe in their own lies. We should start using words like "libel", "defamation", "hate crimes" and put an end to the psychological war Israel is subjected to.
4. #1 Meddling? Or highlighting?
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (05.21.13)
Spit or split Split. Pointing out an apparent inconsistency is certainly not meddling. It's freedom of speech by Americans with a special interest --as practiced by every NGO and lobbying group in support of their own special interests. I hardly think that anyone on capital hill will really take much notice.

You claim to be a Pole. Do you think I should leave my home and let the Germans live in it. After all my part of Poland was occupied by Germany before 1945. Large parts of Poland including my house used to be Germany. Do you think I am an occupier? My grandparents were expelled from Lwow and arrived in Malbork when the Germans left just like Jews who were expelled from Arab countries and now live in Israel.
6. You can thank obama for this terroristic gifting
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.21.13)
only obama finances terror groups while insisting Israel 'go back to the '67 borders' while at the same time unleashing the IRS on conservatives, Christian and Jewish rights groups. Impeachment has a lovely sound to it. Can't wait.

And, hopefully, within ten years not on e pal will remain in Israel.

...who funds Mr. Steinberg and his own NGO?
11. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.21.13)
It's called oversight, and there is nothing wrong with revealing fraud perpetrated by pro-ersatz "Palestinian" NGOs. Let the American taxpayers decide if revealing the truth about the motives and activities of these NGOs constitutes "meddling."
12. Steinberg against Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.21.13)
"Steinberg has been a longtime critic of the organization Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Christian Aid, Oxfam and various other groups who he accuses of having "contributed to the hatred, rather than supporting peace.""

Just to add to my post at 5 if this was unclear my house and large parts of Poland were occupied by Germany for hundreds of years before WW2. Do you think Germans should return to my town and I should leave my home? Just because Arabs invaded Israel and occupied it for years doesn't give them a right to any fictional 'Palestine' just as the Germans have no right to my house.
14. #10, That's easy.
Jake   (05.21.13)
NGO monitor is based in Israel. It derives its funding from private donors and, during 2010 and 2011, from the Jewish Agency. Not quite the same as anti-Israel NGO's receiving funding from foreign governments, like the US or EU, is it, "David"?
15. #1 spit
DavidR ,   USA   (05.21.13)
First, there is no such place as Paletine. Second, No it is not meddling in US policy. Third, the Land you wrongly call Palestine is not occupied by anyone other than the occupiers known incorrectly as palestinians.

18. ben #2, Steven Hawking was blackmailed
Jake   (05.21.13)
He was about to travel to Israel, then backed out only due to extreme pressure from palestinian "academics". He admitted it himself. Next time Israel produces a life-saving medical technology, by all means, act in the interests of civlization and feel free to boycott.
19. #5 - You claim to be a Pole.

No I don't ! I was once but now I'm an American - By the way my mom's family was from Lwow too ,...
20. Occupying Palestinian is a hate crime and
Ken ,   Burma at Peace   (05.21.13)
" including highly offensive comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany." is a true comparision
21. #1 How dare YOU continue to meddle
A ,   Belgium   (05.21.13)
in a subject that you have absolutley no knowledge or understanding about. It's ok, you have proven long ago that you are an idiot, no need to keep trying to convince us. Stick to plumbing, Kowalski.

(05.21.13)
well, i can say the very same thing to you. why are usa ngo's funded by usa government stationed in israel to bash and sanction it? isn't that activity, funded by the usa in another country, israel, also meddling in israeli politics? what is good for the goose is good for the gander. no?
23. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.21.13)
Care to document your source? Didn't think so.
24. To Split 19 and A at #21
Wojtek ,   Malbork   (05.21.13)
to Split So you're no longer a Pole? I'm actually glad you are no longer one of my people. If your mother's family are realy from Lwow you would know how the Poles and Jews were murdered there by the Germans and their Ukrainian allies also you haven't answered my question. Do you think my home should be returned to Germans? just as you think Jews should give their homes to Arabs. to number 21 your comment is offensive and anti-Polonism is just as bad as anti-semitism please apologise.
25. #20 no it is not
(05.21.13)
Israel is Jewish land. The occupiers are the Arab colonists who call themselves "Palestinians" and are funded by Arab apartheid regime. You don't believe me? Read the PLO Charter, they admit themselves that they are the colonists.
26. To Split at 19
Madzia ,   London   (05.21.13)
Your mother was from Lwow? do you speak the Lwow dialect? I do many of the words are from Yiddish, did you know this? maybe your mum was partly Jewish?
27. Occupation???
Avishai ,   Israel   (05.21.13)
I love it when a White North American gets indignant about Israeli "occupation... apartheid..." and proves beyond doubt what an arrogant, ignorant fool they are. They don't even realize they they are living in occupied lands or that they are a part of the apartheid condition in North America. They conveniently forget about where they come from and who's stolen land they live on. They act as if they are unaware of the Reservations. OK Mr. Indignant White North American, here's a plan. Sign over your property to what ever indigenous American nation it was originality stolen from, return what ever profits were made from your occupation and compensate them for destroying their way of life. Then get on a plane and go back to Europe.
28. To #12: Steinberg is correct in his assessment!
EST ,   Miami USA   (05.21.13)
Oxfam, Amnesty International, etc. do and have contributed to the hatred. They are very anti_israel and make no bones about it...though they try to shield themselves under the guise of being pro-human rights NGO's...when you ahve an ad by Oxfarm, in all European magazines, portraying a slice of an Israeli orange being squeezed and drops of blood dripping from it, asking people to boycott Israel...you can bet your behind that Oxfam contributes to the hatred!
