On May 2, 2023, Amnesty International published “Automated Apartheid,” the latest installment in a multi-year campaign to smear Israel with that label.
Professor Gerald M Steinberg analyzes the influential network of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that have been a central actor in the political war targeting Israel though allegations of apartheid and racism
