You can not pick and choose in advocacy. It appears very questionable and suspicious. The ? gets around the world very fast.

Michael Ratner is a scumbag who is suing the Federal Gov on behalf of ACORN.

His brother bailed out ACORN.

Is there any organized effort out there to pressure the Israeli government?

The Center for Constitutional Rights has done exceptional work in filing civil suits against Israeli war criminals – former Israeli Chief of Staff Moshe ‘Boogey’ Yaalon and former Shin Bet Director Avi Dichter for their crimes against humanity, in Lebanon and in Gaza 2002, respectively.
These are very hard suits to win because the State Dept. has intervened in both and asked the courts to dismiss the lawsuits based on the “political question” doctrine. The Israeli embassy has hired the most prestigious law firms in New York to defend these war criminals. While both lawsuits were dismissed by the trial courts, the lawsuit against Dichter is currently on appeal in the Court of Appeals in the Second Circuit.
Now that Guantanamo is closing, CCR should have more time to devote to prosecuting Israeli war criminals. It is with a heavy heart that I say this, but with my intimate knowledge of Israeli society, it is only these kinds of lawsuits that can deter the State of Israel from repeating these atrocities in the future.
