1. NGO reports
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.31.11)
The NGO reports on the Lebanese wars told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This article is yet another cleverly written, yet self-serving statement on the part of Zionists, that anyone with any sense at all can see through. Nice try, but no cigar!
2. Good for you!
Naor ,   USA   (07.31.11)
It is long overdue that someone took on the so called "Human Rights" NGOs and began to break down their lies and propaganda. They have done Israel unimaginable damage and perpetuate this conflict.
3. Take them to Court - make them spend

4. Blame Lebanon War Distortions on NGO's
Moll ,   Calgary, Canada   (08.01.11)
To graczek of Maryland, USA: It takes a writer of clever propaganda pieces to recognize cleverly written propaganda pieces! We will assume you write your clever spins & twists of truth for the anti-Israeli side of the story. Words are sacred. Words are the ONLY vessels/containers human beings have in/with which to carry truth. If humans use words to deceive or mislead, these humans lose their ability to communicate and their credibility as communicators. Be wise graczek in your use of words.
5. LOL
Philos ,   Wherever   (08.01.11)
Wow. These guys got a 5-year grant to say, "NO WE DIDN'T! NO WE DIDN'T!" Goes to show that academia and the social "sciences" are just a load of crap
6. #1 who are you? how do you know anything?
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (08.01.11)
Everybody knows how the NGO the UN and the Arabs lie all the time. You can't handle the truth. Are you a former East European Nazi? What is your problem? why don't you write in Al Jazeera or their Spiegel?. If you hate Jews join a neo-nazi group or a terrorist organization and stop your verbal diarrea.
7. then go after them, in court, in newspapers, hound them unil
ralph   (08.01.11)
they drop.
8. #1 Did You Do A Study Yourself? These NGOs Cried Wolf!
Mark ,   Texas, USA   (08.01.11)
Amazing that this article cites facts and times, and contradictions... yet somehow all you can do is name call and say "clever self serving writing" pathetic! Sadly, what this article points out is that the NGOs in the study, took sides at worst and cried wolf at best. Either way, the next time they open their mouths, they will be ignored. They have lost their mission by taking sides and caused more damage in the long run. Their credibility should be guarded as their greatest virtue. But they have lost that now. Go ahead a call me a homer, call me a Zionist (I'm proud of that name) but it makes no difference because they are liars and the truth is now on my side.
9. court!
IlanaB   (08.01.11)
If any of our boys died because of their false reports and the foloowing 48 hour ceasefire, they need to do plenty time. How disgusting. Lies kill. SHame on them! We always knew it but it is wonderful that the truth is emerging.
10. ngos
dave ,   canada   (08.01.11)
the conclusions are that these lying sobs must be designated as enemy agents and warned that they will not be spared if caught in a future war zone.
11. Have you slept during the news?
Thomas ,   USA   (08.01.11)
Just recently LIKUD and Netanyahoo voted against the initiative to investigate the financial backing of the leftist, anti-Israeli NGO-s. So don't cry. There is bug in the system and you will lose big.
12. #6. Carlos: Take it as a joke
Thomas ,   USA   (08.01.11)
This dude is a rabid Christian antisemite - presumably E. European - a resident fellow on Haaretz and regurgitating the same Jesus crap everywhere. His god is a Jew! - but he doesn't know it. Hence the joke.
13. #1 graczek
solomon ,   bklyn   (08.01.11)
We wouldn't expect any other kind of “statement” from you. You write "self-serving statement[s] on [your own] part that anyone with any sense at all can see through. Nice try, but no cigar!"
14. not news to me
alexi   (08.01.11)
this is not news to me. most of these so called human watch and neutral ngos are bleeding heart liars at the behest of rebel organisations and e\asily intimidated by them. Of course olmert and even barak would suspend actions based on nothing because one is a scared lying rabbit and the other is a shmuck and failed land general who is afraid of battle and that is the truth.

17. #1 proves their are dumb Americans. poor fool
a much smarter ,   American   (08.01.11)
18. The IDF never tried and were not committed
Lew Walt ,   Hanover Twp. USA   (08.01.11)
They had 3 Infantry Brigades in Lebanon who were never given orders to dislodge Hezbollah. They were handcuffed by the undecided politicians. See things for what they are and get out of the dream world. Duing the last 2 days they (Nahal) ran to the Litani and the battle of Wadi Saluki. Thats ok.. The Arabs think they won the last 4 major wars. Peace talks ?? You might as well talk to your door mat. You will get better results .
19. Why the surprise
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.01.11)
These so-called "NGOs" are agents of European governments that are committed to our genocide. They have lied about every single thing that they write. We should not only sue them, but ban them for life as well.
20. #5
Korem ,   New York, USA   (08.01.11)
LOL, you have nothing of substance to say against their research except to attack that they got a grant. LOL. You guys can't handle anything that clears Israel despite how factual it is because your heads are filled with lies against it.
21. Hezbollah
sk ,   USA   (08.01.11)
Hezbollah --- they start it, they die for their instigation, they are merely Satanic puppets. The so called "party of god" ... all the attributes indicate that they are not worshiping the just God that most of the world acknowledges (i.e. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).
22. sue them both for defamation of character ....and where are

25. Graczek previously posted
Stephen in New York   (08.01.11)
that Judaism is an "abomination in God’s eye.” Clearly this person is not well and his comments are not worth a response.
26. Oh Really Gerald,old thing?
Ussishkin ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (08.01.11)
Keep on like this and you'll have us all believe that either the 2nd Lebanon War was an unalloyed triumph for the state of Israel, or better still that the whole thing was a figment of NGO imaginations. BTW who funds NGO Watch? There'd better not be a single $,£ or Euro from abroad, directly or indirectly. Keep up the good work Gerald, Motek, it's so entertaining.
27. Since ALL NGO's are viciously anti

30. #1 graczekele, your bigotry precedes your comprehension
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (08.01.11)
Here's YOUR 'truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth' "As the contradictions emerged, HRW’s Mair ADMITTED that the Lebanese Red Cross had reported 28 dead, including Hezbollah “martyrs,” but HRW chose to CONTINUE IT"S FALSE accusations against Israel. http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=446
