"Dr. Gerald Steinberg of NGO Monitor blasted the report for failing to mention the term ‘terrorism’ even once, which he described as ‘another example of B’Tselem’s very one-sided approach to the topic of human rights.’ ‘They condemn what they claim are Israeli activities under the cover of security as if the security issues were not serious,’ he said. ‘But that security is in place to protect the basic human right of staying alive.’ Steinberg did, however, say that he found it positive that B’Tselem mentioned Schalit and the Gazan rocket fire at Israeli communities in the southern coastal region and the western Negev. ‘The fact that they do this, unlike Amnesty International and Oxfam, provides a limited amount of balance, but that is not sufficient,’ he said."
