Rights Watchdog, Lost in the Mideast

I have been sharing my view on human rights organisations previously on this blog. Now even the founder of Human Rights Watch (HRW), Robert L. Bernstein, has seen enough of how the organisation has left its original mission to advocate open societies, basic freedoms and to support dissenters, and how they instead have lost their critical perspective in the Israeli-Arab conflict. In the New York Times he published an article in where he strongly criticises how they indirectly serve anti-Israeli forces through their biased reporting. No need for me to write more. Read the article.
