A professor at Bar Ilan University, Prof Steinberg presented a report
to MPs and ministers that referred to peace groups as “Trojan
horses” and argued for imposing constraints on funding from European
governments and the NIF.
In a statement at the time, Prof Steinberg said: “For over a decade
European governments have been manipulating Israeli politics and promoting
demonisation by funding a narrow group of favored non-governmental organisations.”
He has reserved special criticism for advocacy groups for the country’s
Arab minority and for Jewish groups opposing the occupation, accusing
both of promoting an image of Israel as an “apartheid” state
that carries out “war crimes” and “ethnic cleansing”.
