| | + | {{Cquote|Human Rights Watch, ostensibly one of the world’s most respected moral organizations, waited more than two days to issue a statement. When it did, the text was not a clear and direct condemnation of this monstrous war crime. Instead, Omar Shakir (HRW’s Israel and Palestine director) framed the unfathomably evil terror attack as a justified reaction to Israeli policies, which, in HRW’s list of slogans, include war crimes[sic], unprecedented repression[sic], unlawful closure of Gaza, inhumane[sic] acts, “domination[sic] by Jewish Israelis over Palestinians” and “crimes against humanity of apartheid[sic] and persecution[sic].” |
| | + | |
| | + | After Israel’s military entered Gaza to destroy the massive terror infrastructure there, Shakir and Program Director Sari Bashi repeated the slogans and added other accusations, such as “deliberate, indiscriminate[sic], or disproportionate attacks” in numerous media appearances and social media posts. The Israeli victims were mostly erased. |
