Oxfam cooks the books, credits Palestinians for hosting 2,000,000 refugees

Oxfam has a new report on how Western nations aren't doing enough to address the worldwide refugee crisis. The responsibility for providing refugees with shelter, food and health care, as well as jobs and education, is falling disproportionately on poorer countries, which are often struggling to meet the needs of their own people or are at risk of compromising their own...

Oxfam covers for Miftah's doubletalk

So far, most of the NGOs that fund Miftah have been silent during the blood-libel controversy I discovered. Oxfam, however, just responded to a couple of my readers' inquiries (and then to mine) with a canned response which illustrates a troubling downplaying of the issue: Thank you for making us aware that a blog post published on the website of one of our partners, the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy...

From The Volokh Conspiracy: Human Rights Watch has just released a report on Israel’s recent “Pillar of Defense” operation to suppress rocket fire from Gaza. The report concludes that 18 airstrikes violated international law by not being properly targeted. I do not know if 18 is a little or a lot for an operation of this scale, as there an no good comparative data (though...

Some of the "children" listed were, in fact, adults. Some were Hamas terrorists. And at least one was killed by a Hamas rocket. Here are some details: Muhammad Hani...

After Operation Cast Lead in 2009, groups funded by the NIF led a campaign that sought to portray Israel as a war criminal and human rights...

....but Oxfam blames Israel for Hamas power cuts!

Oxfam, a major human rights NGO, is pushing a false narrative of Israeli responsibility for Gaza's power plant problems. This press release, published at Palestine News Network, proves once again that many NGOs are hopelessly biased against Israel and are equally afraid to criticize Hamas. The Gaza Strip is inching towards a total collapse of essential services as fuel supplies...
