The prevailing majority of sources in Amnesty International's anti-Israel report came from left-wing organizations, a report published this week by right-wing Im Tirtzu organization revealed.

The groups listed were also among those that received over half a billion shekels in donations from foreign governments.
According to data, of the 1,557 references mentioned in the Amnesty report – which accused Israel of apartheid – 597 came from 26 external sources, including 16 Israeli left-wing organizations. Of the 597 reports, 461 (77%) were submitted by groups funded by foreign governments. Between 2012 and 2021, such organizations received 548 million shekels (around $171 million) from countries overseas.
Eighty-nine references came from B'Tselem; 83 from Adalah legal aid group; 44 from Ir Amim, 32 from the Association for Civil Rights in Israel; and 27 from the Peace Now NGO.
In addition, 34 and 10 references came from the Al-Haq and Addameer groups, which have recently been outlawed in Israel due to links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
"Data shows that Amnesty's blood libel report is based on post-Zionist propaganda organizations," Matan Peleg, head of Im Tirtzu, said.
"What's astonishing is that both Amnesty and the [left-wing Israeli] groups mentioned in the report feed off the same source – the funds of the European Union and its members. The Israeli government must deal with organizations that try to delegitimize Israel from within."
