In 2020, the online news organization The Intercept revealed that HRW’s then-Executive Director, Ken Roth, accepted a $470,000 donation from a Saudi billionaire based on the condition that HRW would not use the money to protect the rights of the persecuted LGBTQ-plus community in the Middle East.
Roth was compelled to return the donation after The Intercept report.
My apologies, I was referring to the Gaza Strip as a whole, not specifically the city.
If you see Jewish settlers being sent to Gaza after this mess, I’ll eagerly join you in being outraged, just as I find the West Bank settlements a disgrace. But I don’t think it’s useful to get angry over things that haven’t happened yet, especially when there are plenty of events that have already happened that are more worthy of anger.
