| Human Rights Watch: Gaza projectiles unlawful |
| 2009-08-08 |
| Ma'an - Hamas should repudiate unlawful projectile attacks against Israeli population centers and hold those responsible for them to account, Human Rights Watch said in a new report released Thursday. The report came amidst Israeli outrage directed toward both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International for their supposedly inordinate criticism of Israel's military rather than Hamas. However, the two groups have in fact alleged that both sides committed war crimes during the Gaza assault. A UN fact-finding investigation into serious violations of the laws of war by both sides in the Gaza conflict, led by Judge Richard Goldstone, is due to report back to the UN Human Rights Council in September. Hamas agreed to cooperate with the probe; Israel did not, and issued a preliminary rebuttal last week. |

| #10 They are always fundraising, all major charity organizations are always fundraising. It's only the ones tied to United Way that don't, and that's because United Way's captive corporations won't have their employees harassed like that. This is because they were caught selling the Saudi princelings on harassing the Jewish entity. |

| #7 This comes after a lot of publicity regarding their funding from Islamicists within the Saudi royal family, if I remember correctly. |

| #6 Meh, it's just like the ACLU when they defend Nazis or something. "Look, we're not biased, we did 1 thing way back when which justifies our entire agenda!" |

| #1 Guess the Saudis didn't pony up. Somebody must be truly desperate for funding, or is soon to be desperate for funding. |
