The NGO Front in the Gaza War: Human Rights Watch
[NGO Monitor] From the beginning of Israel's military operation in Gaza on Dec. 27 to Jan. 11, more than 35 NGOs claiming to promote human rights and humanitarian agendas have issued more than 175 statements on the fighting, and the number increases continuously. During that period, Human Rights Watch released eleven statements primarily critical of Israel, and since Dec. 30, HRW's Internet site has featured emotive images of Palestinian victimization. HRW statements on Gaza continue to ignore the massive Hamas use of human shields and its Jan. 10 statements condemning Israel's use of white phosphorus are not supported by credible evidence.
