Human Rights Watch targets Israel : Comments

By Sarah Mandel, published 26/7/2006

Political bias of HRW's Middle East division is regularly expressed in its disproportionate focus on Israel.

More Zionist propaganda claptrap designed to shoot the messenger and deflect blame from an apartheid state committing yet more unspeakable crimes in Lebanon while continuing to pound the life out of Gaza and squeeze the Palestinians of the West Bank into smaller and smaller reservations.

A wonderful Patrick Cook cartoon at the time of Israel's 82 rampage in Lebanon had a lttle boy asking Papa Begin, as he sat on a chair, cleaning his gun, "What's Zionism?" To which Begin replies, "That's when our neigbours start getting smaller." I would only add, "And smaller."

Whow so we should read your bias instead of HRW's, Well it all makes sense now.

Thank you Sarah for that article. The political bias against Israel is amazing but I find that the bias against Israel amongst ordinary Australians is even worse. The bias, in my opinon, stems from ignorance of what really is going on in the Middle East and is fed by tabloid reporting of events.

Also, I would add, anyone hiding behind a false name when posting comments to these forums invalidate anything that they have to say.

Regards,

Phil Bramley

Perhaps if the United States government provided Hezbollah with the sophisticated weaponry it provides to Israel, Hezbollah would not resort to random bombing, but exercise the same surgical precision that the Israeli defence forces use in their attacks on Hezbollah.

Thank you Sarah for your perceptive comments on the bias of Human Rights Watch (HRW) in relation to its stance on Israel's fight against Islamic terrorism - a fight for which the civilised world should be thankful. One should appreciate, however, that HRW is essentially driven by a Marxist ideology, not by facts or rationality. In these circumstances its views should be treated with the contempt they deserve.

Yes the civilised world indeed Elena, especially bombing that ambulance, what a civilised act that was.
