If it quacks like a duck: NGO Monitor’s ties to the Israeli government

The oldest trick in the book, and we’re still falling for it
While Netanyahu distracts the Left with attacks on the media, his right-wing coalition partners are taking far more dangerous steps.

Netanyahu’s fourth gov’t: The good, the bad and the ugly
The next Israeli government will attempt to preserve the status quo in the West Bank and Gaza at all costs. Facing international backlash, the persecution of leftists and Arabs could rise to dangerous levels.
