What is antisemitism? Despite many recent and more seasoned articles, and as many long scientific papers written over the years... Why has HRW focused so much money and energy on viciously targeting Israel for more than 20 years? The answer is Kenneth Roth, who has led HRW since 1993 and is the driving force behind the organization’s obsession with Israel. Roth has not hidden his strong anti-Zionist compulsion. In 2004, an Israeli journalist asked him , “What’s a good Jewish boy from Chic...

Every paragraph in the 223-page diatribe serves one goal: brand Israel as an apartheid state. I left South Africa as a teenager in 1965 because of its policy of apartheid. I have openly and consistently criticized Israel’s settlement policies. And I am on the left of the Israeli pol...
