Funny, @KenRoth. I've documented absolute lies by @HRW over the years but no one corrects them. Your impunity is absolute.

Example: A 2016 HRW report falsely claimed that only foreigners with "Jewish ancestry" are allowed to go to Israeli settlements. elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2016/09/hrw-li…

@KenRoth @hrw Not exactly an isolated incident. I documented SCORES of lies from Ken's Twitter account in 2014. See them all here: elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2014/09/ken-ro…

He doesn't even acknowledge them, let alone correct them. This is s pattern of lies by Roth. With impunity.

@KenRoth @hrw What checks and balances does HRW have in place? Where can I write to get a response to your many lies? When has HRW ever corrected a lie about Israel?

The fact is that a "human rights group" that insists on accountability from others has ZERO accountability itself.

@KenRoth @hrw This has been pointed out to HRW's chief who pulls down ove $600K a year. But HRW doesn't investigate itself. It has no mechanism to follow up on complaints. The most biased media is more accountable than the major human rights orgs are.

Hypocrisy much, Ken?

@KenRoth @hrw And criticizing deceptive ads shows the hypocrisy even more. It means that HRW demands that social media fact-checks what it publishes. But HRW publishes "eyewitness" acounts without a consistent methodology on how to interview and check that they are telling the truth.

@KenRoth @hrw Human rights orgs like HRW and @Amnesty are susceptible to bias and to weaponizing their reputation to smear the innocent as long as the smears fit their politics. There needs to be accountability, an independent fact checking mechanism that they accept. If they cared about truth

@KenRoth @hrw @amnesty There is an international standard for ensuring no bias in investigations by fact-finders, the Lund-London Guidelines. HRW rejects these guidelines.

One reason? The guidelines ensure that investigators have no appearance of bias at the outset. HRW hires anti-Israel activists.

@KenRoth @hrw @amnesty I wrote about these guidelines here: elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2014/09/human-…

It is obvious that HRW violates these international guidelines EVERY DAY in the Middle East.

HRW acts with impunity, not with good faith.

And they don't report to anyone.
