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-ideological organization that has just published a 213-page report, “A Threshold Crossed,” declaring its “finding” that Israel is committing “crimes of apartheid,” which it calls “crimes against humanity” that “should trigger action.” ....

04-29-2021 JERUSALEM, Israel – The Biden administration on Wednesday rejected a report from Human Rights Watch’s accusing Israel of being an apartheid state due to what it considers to be discriminatory policies towards Palestinians living in the land. “It is not the view of this administration that Israel’s actions constitute apartheid,” a State Department spokesperson said. The spokesperson instead called on both Israel and the Palestinians to “refrain from unilateral actions that exacerbate tensions.” On Tuesday, the New York-based Human Rights Watch issued a 213-page report alleging that Israel systematically denies Palestinians the basic rights it affords to Jews. ....

(Photo by Lior Mizrahi/Getty Images) Several Jewish groups condemned the April 27 Human Rights Watch (HRW) report accusing Israel of apartheid. The 213-page report doesn’t compare Israel to apartheid South Africa, but it does accuse certain Israeli government policies to be apartheid by using a definition akin to the 1998 Rome Statute and 1973 Apartheid Convention, according to Reuters. ....
Jerusalem One of the world’s best-known human rights groups said Tuesday that Israel is guilty of the international crimes of apartheid and persecution because of discriminatory policies toward Palestinians within its own borders and in the occupied territories. In a sweeping, 213-page report, the New York-based Human Rights Watch joins a growing number of commentators and rights groups who view the conflict not primarily as a land dispute but as a single regime in which Palestinians – who make up roughly half the population of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza – are systematically denied basic rights granted to Jews. Israel adamantly rejects that characterization, saying its Arab minority enjoys full civil rights. It views Gaza, from which it withdrew soldiers and settlers in 2005, as a hostile entity ruled by the Islamic militant group Hamas, and it considers the West Bank to be disputed territory subject to peace negotiations – which collapsed more than a deca ....
