"Amnesty gets Bushwhacked"
Tony Parkinson, The Age
May 27, 2005
The human rights monitor has lost its way equating the US with the horrors of Stalin.
It was expected that this year´s annual report by Amnesty International would include a blistering critique of the Bush Administration´s conduct of the war on terror. That much is pro forma for the human rights movement, it´s the fashion of the day...
"Amnesty's 'Gulag' "
Wall Street Journal
May 26, 2005
"Gulag" is the Russian acronym made famous by Alexander Solzhenitsyn to describe the vast network of Soviet slave labor camps in which millions died. It is thus one more sign of the moral degradation of Amnesty International that the pressure group is now calling the U.S. detention facility for Taliban and al Qaeda suspects at Guantanamo Bay "the gulag of our time"...
"The NGO Network and Anti-Israel Boycotts: 'War by other Means' "
Gerald M. Steinberg, The Jerusalem Post
May 22, 2005
When the council of the Association of University Teachers (AUT) in the UK meets on Friday to reconsider the boycott of Bar Ilan and Haifa Universities adopted last month, there is a good chance it will retreat. The opposition to this desecration of free academic inquiry has been surprisingly widespread, despite the pervasive anti-Israel bias in Britain and Europe...

Gerald M. Steinberg, The Wall Street Journal (European Edition)
April 29, 2005
JERUSALEM The phones began ringing late last Friday afternoon. The BBC, AFP, co-authors, my mother: everyone wanted to know if I was worried about the vote by British academics to boycott my university...

Eugene Korn, Sun Times
April 11, 2005
"Human Rights Watch Needs Watching"
Gerald M. Steinberg, The Jewish Week, New York
March 25, 2005
The principle that basic human rights must be safeguarded internationally, and that traditional rules of national sovereignty should not be allowed to interfere, is a direct consequence of the Holocaust. A United Nations commission and powerful nongovernmental organizations were created to promote this code, and they did it successfully...
"World Ignores Genocide in Sudan"
Norman L. Epstein, Canadian Jewish News
March 10, 2005
When the tsunami swept the shores of Southeast Asia, a seismic wave of grief and generosity swept the world. People and governments around the world opened their hearts and wallets to the survivors and to assist in the rebuilding in the wake of the devastation...
"That Old Double-Standard"
David J. Forman, Jerusalem Post
March 03, 2005
"Human Rights Groups are Working Against Peace"
Gerald M. Steinberg, Canadian Jewish News
January 13, 2005
It is too early to know where Palestinian Authority president Yasser Arafat’s departure will lead, but for the first time in many years, there is some reason for optimism. Many obstacles must be overcome, but Arafat’s successors have a chance to move away from “armed struggle,” incitement, and efforts to erase Israel from the map. To foster this process, they must first end Palestinian chaos and use massive aid for economic development instead of channelling funds to private accounts and illegal arms...
"The Unhelpful Hand: Time to Free the Palestinians from NGOs"
Gerald M. Steinberg, The Wall Street Journal, European Edition
January 10, 2005
Yesterday’s elections in the Palestinian territories closed the book on the Arafat era. The end of four decades of terror and corruption rightly generates great optimism about the Israeli-Palestinian relationship. Mahmoud Abbas, the new leader, can now move to end the chaos in Palestinian society and channel the massive aid flows away from off-shore bank accounts and illegal arms to economic development...
