HRW’s Gaza report: Fact-check unveils bias and injustice
Rasha Reslan | In its latest reports, the HRW perpetuates a longstanding Western narrative that serves to whitewash the current Israeli atrocities being committed in Gaza by the Israeli occupation. | Over the past nine months, a well-documented genocidal carnage in Gaza has been unfolding daily, live and unabated in front of the world's eyes. ■ Today, the Human Rights Watch published a comprehensive 280-page report. And no, it's not about the Gaza genocide. The report does not focus on the unbearable civilian death toll, the numerous massacres committed within a few hours of each other daily, the decayed bodies scattered in the streets, the children dying from man-made famine, the beheaded children due to the use of heavy bombs, the bodies cut into pieces, the more than 9,000 abductees, or the disturbing reports of torture and rape from Sde Teiman and other Israeli prisons. ■ Unsurprisingly, the HRW report perpetuates a longstanding Western narrative that serves to whitewash the current Israeli atrocities being committed in Gaza by the Israeli occupation. Nothing new as the report turns a blind eye to the fact that these actions have been ongoing since 1948.
