| Ex-Human Rights Watch chief denied Harvard fellowship over anti-Israel bias |
| 2023-01-08 |
I’m shocked. [IsraelTimes] Dean of Kennedy School said to side with pro-Israel donors and veto Kenneth Roth’s position at human rights...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... center; HRW has long been accused of bias against Jewish state. Truly shocked — someone at Harvard is concerned that a lifetime of being blatantly anti-Israel might upset donors? The former head of Human Rights Watch (HRW) Kenneth Roth ...son of a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, he spent his career actively avoiding the topic of Jew-hate, yet is indignant that Israel notices his prejudice. After all, everybody he knows says the same things about Israel, so they must be true... was barred by a Harvard University dean from taking up a fellowship at the school over his alleged anti-Israel bias, according to a report on Thursday. |

| #1 Prof. Kathryn Sikkink, who is affiliated with the Carr Center, told The Nation that she was surprised when Elmendorf told her that Roth’s fellowship had not been approved over "anti-Israel bias." "We thought he would be a terrific fellow," Because of the bias, right? |
