When Nicholas Kristof and the New York Times accused Israel of “systematic sexual violence,” NGO Monitor immediately exposed the core reliance on a Hamas-linked NGO –  Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

NGO Monitor President Gerald Steinberg published a post on X condemning Kristof’s  use of this and other NGOs to demonize Israel. His posts and our research were quoted in the New York Post and credited in a widely viewed video by Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Dr. Yechiel Leiter.

NGO Monitor research and analysis systematically documented the NGO sources behind the New York Times piece. Our documentation was cited extensively across multiple media outlets, including JNS, The Media Line, Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel, and Washington Free Beacon.

In an ILTV interview, Prof. Steinberg discussed Kristof’s reliance on Hamas-affiliated NGO sources. Our research was also referenced across several Substack platforms, including posts by Hen Mazzig, Jake Wallis Simons, and Pierre Rehov.

For a detailed backgrounder documenting the NGOs  and other “sources” in Kristof’s article, and their terror affiliations, anti-Israel propaganda campaigns and blood libels, read here.

Kristof and the Times are a very visible example of the NGO industry’s role in promoting hate propaganda and demonization. In exposing the lies, NGO Monitor’s ability to quickly provide facts is indispensable.
