Gerald M. Steinberg: what Wikipedia removed

Gerald M. Steinberg is an Israeli political scientist and the founder of NGO Monitor. Through 2010 the opening listed him as ‘member of the Steering Committee of Forum on Antisemitism at the Office of the Prime Minister.’ Today the opening describes only his academic post and his founding of NGO Monitor, and the word is nowhere in the article. A reader today learns what think tank he founded and not that he served on Israel’s official Forum on Antisemitism.

The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
