No Go for NGOs?

If you're a friend to Israel, hear these words of caution about relief agencies (click on title above)

NGOs - is a term meaning "non-governmental organizations" used in UN and other circles to differentiate from nation states (and their regional and local govt and I suppose various rebel and opposition organizations)

NGOs, as relief agencies and "human rights monitoring" etc are now a vital part of the international system, and often have a sort of "lobbying" influence in their participation in international conferences.
