Hate organization (NIF) accuses critics of hate speech

Leftist Israelis hate Israel just as Leftist Americans hate America. The ludicrously biased Goldstone report accused Israel of improper behavior when it invaded Gaza to stop the rocket attacks coming from Gaza.
"A trip to Melbourne by the chair of the New Israel Foundation, Naomi Chazan, has been postponed because of a controversy about the fund's alleged role in helping the Goldstone inquiry into the Gaza war.

Several Israeli members of parliament are now attempting to have a parliamentary inquiry into claims by the Zionist student group Im Tirtzu, which released a report alleging that 92 per cent of the negative documents used by the Goldstone report came from Israeli non-government organisations funded by the NIF.

The controversy has become major news in Israel, with The Jerusalem Post quoting the chief executive of the NIF, Daniel Sokatch, saying the report made "baseless allegations" and was "the worst kind of vicious hate speech".

The President of the Zionist Council of Victoria, Danny Lamm, said his group was not involved in organising the visit but was asked to act as one of three co-sponsors for a public lecture. "We decided to withdraw our co-sponsorship because of Professor Chazan's chairmanship of the New Israel Fund, which funds groups whose activities are inimical to the interests of both Israel and the world Zionist movement," Dr Lamm said.

He said that the Im Tirtzu report was "quite detailed in its analysis of the connection between NIF and those NGOs which produced unfounded allegations and fuelled the Goldstone report." He also said it was "ludicrous" for the NIF to argue an attack on freedom of speech. "Im Tirtzu has analysed their actions and reported on it," Dr Lamm said.

Typical Leftists. Do as we say, not as we do.

This is an old and still effective tactic of the Left. Blame your opponents for what you say and do. It's amazing how people still don't catch on to their games.
