Human Rights Watch used to issue statements of condemnation and concern if Muhammad Mughrabi (a right-wing lawyer in Lebanon who had supported the fascist militia of Bashir Gemayyel in Lebanon, and who reportedly had supported the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982) had a stomach flu. They even gave him a human rights and right-wing advocacy award. Yet, I have not heard a single word from Human Rights Watch about Lebanese Army shooting at unarmed demonstrators. Amnesty International at least called for an investigation.
