The NGO Monitor aims to undermine non-violent actions against the Israeli occupation in order to maintain it. It tries to cut funding to peaceful NGOs because they don't align with Zionist values.

NGO Monitor is pro-occupation and pro-Israeli settlers.

So your response seems to be out of place. I criticize A, you say "but B" which is unrelated to A as a counter argument.

Ah yes, "Peaceful NGOs"....

Even if they are "peaceful" (many aren't), that doesn't imply that they're good.

There's nothing inherently wrong with attacking NGOs. In fact, it's actually good to attack some NGOs because said NGOs are evil.

The fact that you've taken a side does not imply that the other side is wrong to oppose your side, let alone that this guy has done anything wrong in his opposition. .

I am against the occupation
> I am against the occupation

Unless you're one of those evil "By any means necessary" folk, that statement tells us nothing about whether these NGOs are evil.
