The Palestinization of Human Rights: Al-Haq and HRW as Templates
This paper documents and analyzes the role of core individuals and institutions in the exploitation of human rights frameworks in targeting Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people. Through extensive use of double standards and invented norms, these frameworks have a primary role in shaping modern blood libels, particularly after October 7, through labels that include “apartheid,” “starvation,” and “genocide.” To examine this process covering approx…
The apartheid and racism campaigns - the NGO contribution to antisemitism
Under the headings of promoting human rights and international law, the influential network of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) has been a central actor in the political war targeting Israel though allegations of apartheid and racism. In applying these slanders, the NGOs systematically erase the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, including decades of warfare and terrorism, and join in the attempt to delegitimize the nation-state of the Je…
Human Rights Watch’s anti-Israel Agenda
The influence of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is reflected in the organisation’s intense involvement in institutions that emphasise human rights, including the United Nations and the International Criminal Court. However, HRW and its leaders have been strongly criticised for intense political and ideological bias against Israel and for proliferating unsubstantiated accusations to fit this bias. This article documents the role of Kenneth Roth, Executi…
Menachem Begin and the Israel-Egypt Peace Process: Between Ideology and Political Realism
Counter-terror and soft power: NGO claims to military and legal expertise and Israeli responses
For many years, the network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) claiming a human rights agenda has consistently sought to delegitimise Israel’s counterterrorism strategy. This phenomenon was prominent during the 2008–2009 and 2014 Gaza wars, when these groups issued hundreds of statements condemning Israel, and in campaigns calling for UN commissions of inquiry (e.g. the Goldstone and Schabas/Davis investigations) into Israeli ‘war crimes’. …

The human rights discourse and Israel: Beyond victimhood and underdogs
Ron Dudai (‘Entryism, mimicry and victimhood work: the adoption of human rights discourse by right-wing groups in Israel’) makes the argument that ‘right-wing’ groups imitate, seek to be included in, and to exploit human rights discourse in order to pursue a ‘right-wing’ agenda. The ostensible objective of this effort is to hijack the movement from within, defend Israel and undermine the Palestinian struggle for human rights.The choice and reliab…
A farewell to arms? NGO campaigns for embargoes on military exports: The case of the UK and Israel
International human rights NGOs utilize soft power resources to shape discourse on state compliance with the Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC), as well as related policy decisions. The NGO impact is generally due to perceived expertise, credibility and commitment to universal principles. This article examines these factors in the NGO campaign in the UK calling for an arms embargo against Israel. NGO reports and activities created the basis for the Ju…
From Durban to the Goldstone Report: The centrality of human rights NGOs in the political dimension of the Arab–Israeli conflict
Disproportionate and unsubstantiated allegations of human rights violations, war crimes and racism have been employed as a form of political warfare designed to isolate Israel internationally. This strategy, based on the model used to defeat the apartheid government in South Africa, was adopted in 2001 at the NGO Forum of the UN-sponsored Durban Conference on racism, in which 1500 organizations participated. Since then, as demonstrated in this ar…
The Framing of Political NGOs in Wikipedia through Criticism Elimination
This article introduces criticism elimination, a type of information removal leading to a framing effect that impairs Wikipedia's delivery of a neutral point of view (NPOV) and ultimately facilitates a new form of gatekeeping with political science and information technology implications. This article demonstrates a systematic use of criticism elimination and categorizes the editors responsible into four types. We show that some types use critici…

Realism, Politics and Culture in Middle East Arms Control Negotiations
The history of arms control efforts in the Middle East consists of numerous initiatives, but very limited results. From the first efforts to negotiate WMD limits and non-proliferation arrangements in the 1960s, through various regional initiatives, frameworks, proposals, discussions, and negotiations, the obstacles to agreement on mutual limitations remained dominant. Frequent discussions in the UN of a Middle East Nuclear Free Zone (MENWFZ), the…

Foreign policy in the 1999 Israeli elections
In 1996, Benjamin Netanyahu was elected prime minister of Israel by the narrowest of margins, following a series of deadly terrorist attacks that had a profound impact on Israeli public opinion. The election results reflected a rejection of the Labour government's policies, and of Shimon Peres, in particular, rather than an endorsement of Netanyahu and his policies. Although the new government's first priority focused on combating terrorism, this…

Israeli Responses to the Threat of Chemical Warfare
For the six weeks of the 1991 Gulf War, Israel was faced with the possibility of attack by Iraqi chemical weapons. In response, and in contrast to their behavior over the previous 44 years, the Israelis took a defensive approach, and Israel became the first country since World War II to provide its entire population with gas masks and protection kits. In addition, Israel also engaged in active defense measures by deploying Patriot missiles. The d…

The Role of Process in Arms Control Negotiations
Arms control efforts tend to proceed through highly formalized and very visible direct negotiations between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. There is evidence, however, that even when political and technological conditions might otherwise produce agreements, this formal process itself tends to impede the flexibility necessary for compromise and successful negotiations. The examination of the role of process in negotiation is based on the analysis of the par…
SDI and Organizational Politics Of Military R&D
While the Reagan administration's decision to pursue the Strategic Defense Initiative was not the result of organizational or bureaucratic pressures, these factors are becoming increasingly important in determining the nature of the program. The creation of the SDI Organization as an independent office within the Department of Defense has provided promoters of this effort with a bureaucratic base from which to increase budgets and power in the de…
