The Bias of Human Rights Watch...

The like to look at so-called Israeli abuses, but ignore terror against Israel.
As a result, he added, the organization took "general" monies from its budget to fund new positions looking at human rights in the context of terror and counterterror.

HRW does the same thing when it comes to terror in Israel. "We don't receive money for work on terrorism against Israel and have to devote funds from our general fund for that," Roth said.

He noted, however, that there have been earmarked donations to look at Gaza, and while some of that money has been used in examining Palestinian rocket attacks launched from there against Israelis, "obviously most of the abuses are Israeli abuses."
