Gerald Steinberg describes the history of BDS, from its inception at the 2001 Durban Conference to current efforts to advance BDS through the EU's product labeling requirements.
On the occasion of International Human Rights Day, Gerald Steinberg discusses the failings and corruptions of Amnesty International, and highlights the organization´s discredited agenda.
In its condemnations of Israel stopping Palestinian stabbing attacks, Amnesty International relies on faulty evidence and flawed methodology to portray Palestinians as victims and Israeli security personnel as aggressors, regardless of circumstance.
In response to the recent wave of terror, government officials, repeating claims made by highly politicized NGOs, have accused Israel of using "excessive force" when responding to attacks against Israeli civilians, criminalizing Israels right to defend itself.
NGOs with stated human rights agendas, who are generally extremely vocal regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict, have avoided condemning the recent terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens, instead focusing only on the Israeli response to such attacks.
Bassem Tamimi, a Palestinian from the village of Nabi Saleh, is going on a speaking tour in the US from September - October 2015, sponsored by a number of highly biased and politicized NGOs active in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Gerald Steinberg claims that BDS campaigns are clearly a form of discrimination based on double standards and singling out Israel, as the Jewish state, for attack.
On August 17, 2015, a series of articles published in the Times (London) revealed that Yasmin Hussein, currently Amnesty Internationals Director of Faith and Human Rights, has links to the Muslim Brotherhood and possibly to Hamas.
