If Human Rights Watch Is Going To Conduct Themselves Like Anti-Israel Activists...

Yesterday, I posted a press release from NGO Monitor about the HRW appointment of Shawan Jabarin, who has ties to the PFLP terrorist group

Jennifer Rubin suggests some concrete actions that should be taken with HRW as a result of this latest in a series of episodes illustrating the HRW bias against Israel:

First, it is further justification for Israeli efforts to require that NGO's disclose their foreign funding. Second, it should be incumbent on media outlets not to use HRW as a source for unbiased material or comment. The group has proven over and over again that it is an antagonist of the Jewish state and not a neutral observer. And finally, why should the Israeli government, especially the Israeli Defense Forces, continue to cooperate with HRW? Allowing HRW access to the battlefield or other data certainly isn't going to impact the group's ideological commitment. Rather, it enhances its image as a real "human rights" group.

Israel certainly has no obligation to offer any cooperation to what amounts to an anti-Israel activist group.
