Will Human Rights Watch Regain Lost Respect?

To do so, it must tell top officials to stop embracing the UN’s top antisemite

For three decades, Human Rights Watch (HRW) – under executive director Ken Roth – was transformed from a respected rights group into a leading anti-Israel advocacy organization. Reflecting a deeply personal obsession with portraying Israel as the world’s worst violator of human rights, Roth filled the NGO with anti-Israel activists. As a result, the principles of universal human rights were widely discredited and reduced to empty slogans. All Israeli responses to mass terror were automatically distorted and demonized as alleged war crimes – no defensive action was considered legitimate.
