For NGOs, EU labeling is ´first step´ to BDS, expert says at Knesset hearing | Ngo-monitor

Jerusalem — At a special hearing in the Knesset today, Professor Gerald Steinberg of NGO Monitor said an alliance of politicized non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is the driving force behind the European Union’s recent decision to label Israeli-made products. As he noted, for these groups and their allies among European officials, who also provide large-scale funding, this is the „first step“ towards a wider boycott designed to „punish“ Israel.
