NGOs appearing before Goldstone included organizations well-known for their anti-Israel agenda, including: rejections of the right of the existence of a Jewish state, objections to Zionism (the self-determination of the Jewish people), calls for delegitimizing Israel through boycotts, sanctions and divestment, false claims that Israel is an apartheid state guilty of ethnic cleansing, and encouragement of "resistance" (i.e. terrorism). For example: NGO: Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, Jerusalem
NGO: Addameer (Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association), Jerusalem
NGO: Al-Haq, Ramallah
NGO: The Alternative Information Centre, Jerusalem
