NGO Monitor is an organization, started in 2001, but only registered in 2007.
NGO Monitor has been criticized for not examining right-wing NGOs, and for spreading misinformation.[3]
NGO Monitor has an online directory of NGOs from around the world,[4] which generally includes a description, a quote from the organization itself, who gives money to it, and relevant quotes from publications and officials.
In June 2013, NGO Monitor's online communications editor, Arnie Draiman, was indefinitely banned from editing Wikipedia articles about the Arab–Israeli conflict due to biased editing.[5]
