"Gerald Steinberg, the head of the Israel-based human rights watchdog organization NGO Monitor, told the Jerusalem Post on Thursday that the German Press Council’s dismissal of his organization’s complaint of biased press coverage of last year’s UN anti-racist conference in Geneva is a “whitewash.” He also criticized The German Press Agency (dpa) for relying on its reporter Shabtai Gold’s coverage of the so-called Durban II UN conference. According to Steinberg, Gold served as a spokesman for the “very active anti-Israel NGO” PHR-I (Physicians for Human Rights-Israel)."
