I Could See This Coming

Human Rights Watch denounced by its founder

"[Robert] Bernstein says that Human Rights watch has lost "critical perspective" on the [Israeli-Palestinian] conflict and that "Israel has been repeatedly attacked by Hamas and Hezbollah, organizations that go after Israeli citizens and use their own people as human shields." He calls Iran's policy "incitement to genocide" and a violation of " the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide."

He also takes the organization to task for them being fully aware of Hamas and Hezb'allah tactics that make war from populated areas, and that HRW turns a blind eye to the arms flowing into the region that will only serve to start the violence all over again."

Regrettably, it's not the only human rights watchdog that has been infiltrated with left-wing nihilists. Amnesty International is just about defunct in my book, and of course, the UN human rights agency, despite its recent rebuild, is still a den of grossly human rights violating dictators.

Sad, really. Some of these agencies used to do good work, even if it didn't result in much change. At least they once were responsible for calling attention to the real genocidal regimes on the planet, not inverting logic by accusing those who actually did the heavy work of overthrowing these tyrannies.
