		<description>I will try to make a case for Passerby using data from NGO Monitor (they have a decent web site):

# Adalah’s donors in 2009 include the European Union, Switzerland, Ford Foundation, Open Society Institute, Oxfam-Novib, Christian Aid, NDC.

# Drafted a 2007 “Democratic Constitution,” which calls for replacing the Jewish foundation of the state with a “democratic, bilingual and multicultural” framework. Jewish immigration would be permitted for “humanitarian reasons.”

Comparing Adalah&#039;s record with Hoover criteria is unfair, because Hoover did not give a hoot if NAACP was anti-Semitic or not (and it was not!) while NGO Monitor does not give a hoot about Communist infiltration.  Adalah&#039;s was cited 39 times by evil Goldstone report.  Second, Adalah worked jointly with Al-Haq which is doubly evil as Palestinian and radical.  Al-Haq is also almost terrorist.

How radical is Al-Haq?  They got some money from German Rosa Luxemburg Institute which is run by Communists.  Aha!  But NGO Monitor does not care, because they got more money from anti-Semitic sources like Ford Foundation (Communist stooges AND corporate shills!)  But terrorists connections are more juicy:

the head of al-Haq was denied exit visa by Israel, and lost the appeal

former al-Haq employee was subpoenaed by FBI, she also have been driving (well, taking mass transit) under influence (of radical ideology).  

Someone could make a facile statement that if Maureen Claire Murphy was investigated by FBI and nothing happened that PROVES that she is not a terrorist.  But that overlooks the possibility that radical leftists at the top echelons of US Administration squashed the investigation due to their Islamo-fascists sympathies.</description>

		<description>Wait, we&#039;re talking about Hoover now? 
---------
As I recall, it was just a few years ago that Adalah came out with their proposal for a constitution in which they demand (they like to claim it&#039;s just &quot;imagined&quot;) that Israel take on the narrative of the nakba and accept the coming of all Palestinian descendants into Israel (what they call &quot;return&quot;). 
---------
Where is the parallel with the NAACP exactly?</description>

		<description>Passerby: &quot;Adalah is the NAACP? You&#039;re insulting the NAACP.&quot;

You are 100% correct. The NAACP was regarded by J.E. Hoover and other US government luminaries as a Coommunist infiltrated, Soviet controlled front group trying to foment race riots and destruction of Anglo Saxon Christian culture, a major threat to USA stability and security.  Adalah doesn&#039;t even come close.</description>

		<description>Thanks for bring to English the conversations everyday Israelis have, Noam. To me, that&#039;s simply what Israeli NGOs are doing, bringing the depth and detail of Israeli conversation to the Diaspora. And why can&#039;t we out here also discuss whether the occupation is moral or hurting Israeli interests? Opposing such is the simple purpose of NGO Monitor and the like.</description>

&quot;These Guardians Of Zion, (GOZs to be terse) have found it necessary to degrade democratic discourse, to debase civil society and to defile the public sphere with a distinctly uncivil, monist and monologically hegemonic non-dialogue, which not only delineates the boundaries of accepted speech, action and thought but also attempts to set out rewards and punishments for those who abide by these limits and those who dare to violate them.  In the past one may have thought of these GOZs as just another part of the civic conversation.  But, they have so clearly embedded themselves in the Israeli political process so as to have co-opted discourse with a clear vision of what is forbidden and permitted in the Israeli body politic.&quot;</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s ironic to read this article in English, in a magazine geared to educating English speakers about Israel&#039;s ills and evils. 

And come on, Adalah is the NAACP? You&#039;re insulting the NAACP.

By the way, there is a key difference between you and other NGOs criticized by NGO Monitor and NGO Monitor: they report on you guys and attempt to modify the anti-Israel propaganda mill, while the NGOs under discussion are actively attempting to influence and change Israeli society and are obviously influenced or trying to please by their outside funding sources. 

Imagine how many articles you&#039;d write about Israel&#039;s perfidy if Israel was to sponsor, say, British NGOs intended to bring down the British government or make it give Scotland the freedom it so desires?</description>

		<description>Rightists are funny people, aren&#039;t they? They don&#039;t seem to have a sense of IRONY at all. That is partly the reason why most artists and, in particular, writers are leftists.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s about time that someone expose the
NGO Monitor. Thank you. I hope this is only the beginning of the counter attack.</description>

		<description>Brilliant, and terrifying in regard to the Jewish Agency and Jewish Federation, since they are very mainstream organizations in the States.  Thank you, Noam,for putting solid information behind my intuitions. Now I can send this to some of my Federation Homies who actually pay attention to the NGO Monitor stories.</description>
