HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH VS. HUMAN RIGHTS: “Manifestly, the work of Human Rights Watch on the Middle East is motivated less by concern for human rights than by the goal of damning Israel. Why this might be is not self-evident. But it perpetuates a long tradition of the appropriation of human rights terminology by groups and individuals whose true goals lie elsewhere, often quite far afield.”

This phenomenon is obvious and indisputable, and it has led to a drastic loss of credibility on the part of human rights groups over the past several years.
