When Jews no longer care for their people

Human Rights Watch’s latest report is part of a broader war to isolate and destroy Israel Human Rights Watch’s latest report is part of a broader war to isolate and destroy Israel The organization hides behind a thin veneer of respectability, but it is no less dangerous than any others whose goal is to eradicate the State of Israel.  (May 18, 2021 / FLAME) If it’s not Hamas raining rockets on Israeli civilians, it’s Human Rights Watch attacking Israel through slander—double standards...

When pursuing "human rights" involves distortion and slander. Tue May 11, 2021 When Robert Bernstein, Aryeh Neier, and Jeri Laber founded Human Rights Watch (HRW) in 1978, they did not contemplate that the Jewish state would become its target for de-legitimization and abuse. At the time of its establishment, not long after the Helsinki Accords were signed that included the signatories from the “Iron Curtain,” the ostensible focus was to report on the abuses of human rights in S...

The Washington Post has a problem. The newspaper’s coverage and commentary on Israel is getting noticed—and for all of the wrong reasons. It is, the journalist Armin Rosen tweeted on April 27, 2021, kind of “interesting how the Washington Post has like a designated anti-Israel newsletter, but it’s apparently so irrelevant that both pro- and anti-Israel obsessives treat it as if doesn’t exist.” The Jewish state, Rosen noted, “is discussed far more” by the “newsletter” than ...

Human Rights Watch crosses the line with latest attack on Israel The organization has now gone beyond anti-Semitism. (May 5, 2021 / JNS) Anti-Semitism may be the world’s oldest hatred but it’s still a long way from death’s door. What I find particularly distressing, if not surprising, is to see self-proclaimed human rights activists demonizing the world’s most frequently threatened Jewish community. I’m speaking, of course, about Human Rights Watch, a non-governmental—but not non-i...

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Sarah Margon, up for a top human rights role at the State Department, is the latest Biden nominee to face fierce pushback from conservatives, among them the Republican Jewish Coalition. But at least one prominent Jewish Republican is backing Margon’s nomination. Elliott Abrams, a longtime foreign policy maven with experience in a number of Republican administrations, most recently under former President Donald Trump, has come to her defense. Abrams, responding Tuesday to ...

Canceling Human Rights | Opinion On 4/30/21 at 6:00 AM EDT For those who have been paying attention, the recent development of Human Rights Watch (HRW) attempting to "cancel" Israel as an "apartheid state" is not at all surprising. It is merely another manifestation of the war waged on the nation-state of the Jewish people—an ancestral homeland to which an indigenous people returned after millennia of exile and persecution, itself a direct result of statelessness. It is a war...

Photo: AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed WITH the US on Wednesday voicing disagreement with Human Rights Watch (HRW)’s allegation that Israel is committing “apartheid” against the Palestinians, Australian Jewish leaders say its report is a “textbook example of a biased organisation knowing what conclusion it wants to reach and then writing a report to substantiate it”. In a report on Tuesday, HRW said that Israel is “committing the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution,” sayi...
