Comments on: HRW founder blasts HRW http://www.yourish.com/2009/10/20/9106 Cutting straight to the point Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:14:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Michael Lonie http://www.yourish.com/2009/10/20/9106/comment-page-1#comment-38133 Michael Lonie Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:06:42 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=9106#comment-38133 O'Sullivan's Law, named after John O'Sullivan, sometime editor (I think) of National Review, states that any organization that is not explicitly right-wing will, over time, migrate to the left-wing. Human Rights Watch was set up as Helsinki Watch, to keep the Commies honest after the USSR signed the Helsinki Agreement back in the 70s, one of the rare triumphs of US diplomacy. But it wasn't right-wing. Now renamed as a more general organization, it coddles the heart-throbes of the left and denounces their bete noires. The only thing I'd disagree with from your excerpt is his comment that the Palestinians deserve a peaceful and productive life. Given the chance to vote they overwhelmingly chose Hamas, knowing full well that its platform was genocide against the Jews. The Palestinian Arabs have always supported the most radical thugs among them, those who want to destroy Israel and commit genocide. They deserve nothing. When the Palis want to make peace they sould throw out all the Hamas and Fatah (and other) thugs, gunmen, terrorists and other assorted scum they presently support. Preferably the Hamas way, from the tops of large buildings. Not until then will I think they want peace. And any such peace will come with stringent conditions, if anyone listens to me (not likely, I'll admit).

The HRW has not had a single complaint about the treatment of the people of Somalia or Sudan. No problem with the treatment of the people in Cuba or Nicaragua or Chile. The have no problem with the treatment of the native Indians in Mexico. The attacks and extermination of the mountain tribes of Vietnam and Laos. The overt human rights violations on the Zimbabwe government. The religious persecution of the peoples of Georgia a Chechnya by Russia. The lack of rights of any female in any Arab country, but let them have opportunity and any democratic society will be persecuted and insulted. They have become the spokesperson for the unsuitable regimes. Human Rights Watch is bought and paid for by the dictators and thugs.

I think Israel is violating the human rights of Hamas and Hezbollah by defending themselves and injuring Arab citizens who are standing in front of the Hamas fighters who are shooting at Israel. It's a Zionist plot! Israel is at fault for locating its land in the way of where Hamas rockets fall, and for putting Israeli citizens in front of the rockets to catch them.
