What did Israel expect? From State Department Report Parrots Biased NGOs:
A recent report released by the U.S. State Department which contains criticism of Israel’s treatment of Palestinian security prisoners merely parrots allegations made by biased non-governmental organizations (NGOs), an Israeli monitoring organization said. “NGOs such as Adallah, Moussawa, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel and B’tselem (all of which receive funding from European governments) provide the bulk of the ‘evidence’ for the discussions on Israeli restrictions on Palestinian movement in this report,” said Professor Gerald Steinberg. “However, as NGO Monitor analyses have shown, these groups distort the facts and systematically erase the context of terror in order to promote their political goals.”
