Friday morning , August 22, 2019 seventeen year old Rina Shnerb went hiking with her father and brother. As they walked on a trail leading to a spring near the town of Dolev, a group of terrorists watching from afar activated a bomb causing the death of young Rina and seriously injuring her father and brother. Two employees of a Palestinian civil rights organization, named Samer Arbid and Abd a-Razak who were also members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine initiated the terror act.

This week Benny Gantz, Israel’s Minister of Defense, declared six Palestinian organizations acting under the guise of "civil society organizations", are deeply involved with terrorist organizations. 

Should we rethink our definitions of NGOs and civil society organizations?
