How NGO Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCI-P) Distorts the Truth

(Jerusalem Post) Daniel Segal - Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCI-P) - designated in October by Israel as a terror organization citing links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) - regularly distorts the truth. In a November 2021 film produced by DCI-P, former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak said, "we are usually talking about...boys throwing stones at tanks of Israel." These are imaginary attacks against tanks which have not been operationally deployed in the West Bank for nearly two decades. DCI-P claimed that Hamas member Zuhdi al-Tawil, 17, "allegedly committed a stabbing attack" and was "unlawfully killed," despite security camera footage clearly showing al-Tawil's attack. DCI-P seems to lack interest in the recruitment and exploitation of children by terrorist organizations. Were they genuinely motivated by a concern for Palestinian children, DCI-P would advocate and campaign against the endemic incitement against Jews and Israelis to which these children are exposed. The writer is a researcher for NGO Monitor.
