Joshua Muravchik WSJ, Dec. 22, 2023 “There is no escaping the reality that the end of Israel could only mean the death of millions of its Jews.

Daniel Haas Human Rights Watch, Nov. 25, 2023 “… it was the domination of HRW’s Israel-Palestine work by some voices that drown out others to the point where those who feel uncomfortable with HRW’s approach and processes – and they do exist – feel silenced.” Farewell email from Human Rights Watch’s Danielle Haas to […]
