"Gerald Steinberg, head of NGO Monitor, an Israeli-government-linked group that supports the bill and has accused Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Oxfam and other NGOs of engaging in what he calls "third-generation warfare" against Israel, said the EU was focussing on an "outdated" version of the law. "We fear that the European Parliament is holding a debate based on a misleading premise," he said in a statement. "Many rumours have surrounded this legislation, but as the text currently stands, this bill simply ensures that Israeli citizens know the funding sources of the many NGOs that operate here.""
