Dan Diker and Olga Meshoe Washington argue that Human Rights Watch s report A threshold crossed where it designates Israel s policies as apartheid, contains several conceptual black holes.
The 27 April 2021 Human Rights Watch Report, A Threshold Crossed , accusing Israel of apartheid , may rank as one of the most cynical and politically motivated weaponisations of human rights in recent memory.

US Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-CO) has urged the heads of UC Merced and San Francisco State University to cancel a webinar planned for April 23 featuring Leila Khaled a member of the US-designated terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – as a speaker.
