[Excerpts:]

"Non-governmental organizations exploit the international justice system to further their campaign against Israel and officials who operate on the state’s behalf, a new study claims. NGO Monitor, an Israeli organization established to promote accountability and to advance discussion on NGOs’ human rights reports and activities in the framework of the Arab-Israeli conflict, held a press conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday to present their third study, ‘Lawfare.’"

"Gerald Steinberg, a professor of political studies at Bar Ilan University and the executive director of NGO Monitor, said that these NGOs’ strategy was an exploitation of the international law system, which was founded to bring real war criminals to trial. ‘This publication exposes the NGOs bombardment of the world’s courts with bogus claims against Israel. Given that not one court has upheld their complaints, it is clear that NGOs continue to manipulate judicial systems, not out of concern for human rights, but as part of the campaign to demonize Israel,’ Steinberg said."
